Step #1-

Separate embroidery hoop and paint color you wish.  I like to mix colors to create something different and unique.  I also don't like to paint the metal knob because I like the contrast but it's up to you if you want to.  

Step #2-

Cut the old onesies starting from leg opening along the side seam.  Make sure to cut along and around all edges.  You want to keep as much fabric as you can so you can wrap it along the embroidery hoop. 

Step #3-

Center artwork from onesie onto the embroidery hoop.  Wrap onesie around the hoop and lock into place by placing the second piece and knob.  

Step #4-

Cut out any excess fabrics and leave about 3/4 inch seam around.  You need an edge so you can glue into place.  

Step #5-

Cut Slits all around about 1/2 around.  This helps you wrap the fabric with ease. 

Step #6-

Glue down the seams left behind by using a hot glue gun.  Glue one to two pieces down at a time.   

Here is the finished project.  Thank you so much for joining us and following these steps with us.  We hope you enjoyed it!
