I can’t believe my little guy is already 5 weeks old (almost 6)! Each week I’ve been posting Instagram shots of him, but I wanted something a little more permanent and “professional” to keep track of the months. Because of the terrible flu going around, I’ve been trying to keep him inside as much as possible; so for his one month pictures I had to scrounge up whatever I could find around the house. The results made me pretty happy!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
1 Sharpie
1 Sharpie Pen
White Onesie
Printed Number Design
Piece of Scrap Cardboard
I kept this project really simple, and even opted not to use my Silhouette to cut out the design for me.
The printed number was one I whipped up in Photoshop.
(Download the file at the bottom of this post).
Once you print out your design, place it under the first layer of your onesie fabric making sure to back it with a scrap piece of cardboard to protect the back of the onesie from getting Sharpie on it.
Next, take the Sharpie Pen and outline the design with it. I found that outlining helped keep the lines cleaner and made it easier later on when I filled in the design. When you’re done outlining, fill in the pattern with your Sharpie. I opted to use black on the antlers and gold metallic on the number … and I would not recommend this! The metallic marker bled pretty badly, so I would stick to a standard Sharpie in whatever color you prefer.
And there you have it! A super simple “Month by Month” onesie for your little one using standard items you probably have laying around your house!

These are so cute! What a fun idea–I don’t have a little one but everyone I know is having babies. This would be a great shower gift!

Awwwww how cute. I’m tearing up missing my little man being this small. How how cute! I love how easy this project is (especially for new moms)!
