The paint will need to dry, so it's best to hang the bibs and/or onesies. Markers can dry overnight. Paint may need a day or longer to dry fully. This new artwork will become part of your baby shower decorations!

Iron It To Protect The Designs

If you are using ink and/or markers, t's always a great idea to iron the bibs and/or onesies before it is washed. This helps to seal in the colors.

Depending on the iron-ons you use, you may need to sew them to the fabric to fortify them. This is not necessary with thin iron on patterns. Thicker iron-ons may become loose after a few washes.
