Wash

I bought a pack of white onesies off of amazon because I know you can never have enough onesies! Leave the rest white or you could die them all once you know what gender you are having! Start by washing all your onesies with cold water and leave them damp so that the dye runs through.

Crumple

I decided to scrunch to do the scrunch technique for these onesies, it’s so simple! This will create a more watercolor look once dried. You don’t have to be so serious with scrunching, have fun with it! Take your hands and scrunch it up, but remember to keep it flat so all the color gets to the entire garment.

Cover in ice

Lay the onesies on the wire rack on top of the baking dish. The dish is there to catch the dyed water once the ice melts. Place the ice all over the onesies, leaving no spot untouched. Since the clothes are damp and the ice is frozen, it sticks right to them!

The kind of ice you use will change what the outcome of the dye will look like. I chose to use bigger ice, that came from my freezer. The bigger ice will make a more tie dye effect in the end.

Sprinkle Spinkle

Cut a small opening in the corner of the dye. Sprinkle on top of the ice generously. The more powder on the ice, the deeper the colors will be.

Melt

Let the ice melt on top of the clothes for 6 to 8 hours. Run the dyed garments under cold water until the water runs clear. Lay the damp onesies back on the baking dish to dry before putting them in your bag for the reveal.

Thank you to RIT dye for making these tutorials happen! They make it so fun to dye clothes and everything you can imagine.

Reveal

Either have your doctor put the correct color onesie in the bag for you to find out when you are ready to reveal or you can put the onesie in there and reveal to your friends and family yourself!
