Personalized Baby Bibs

What I did today, made personalized baby bibs for my soon-to-be niece or nephew!  
Athletic Baby Bibs DIY with Freezer Paper

So...I just made a mess...

 But thankfully I also made something cute too. I just spent WAY too long making these little bibs. But they are just so cute! (At least I think so, hope the baby's mommy will like them too!!)

I going for a running/work out theme because that is totally the mom! I also got a little Puma track suit at Marshalls today and little socks that look like shoes.
And of course I had to make a couple bibs representing the baby-to-be's favorite aunt and uncle! I'm so excited to be an aunt :)

 I used my Cricut to cut out the words on freezer paper (shiny side face down). On this one, the bomb was actually a balloon - could you tell?!

Then I put a towel over the paper and bib and ironed it on until it stuck.

I love painting over freezer paper - because you don't have to be neat! Just try to stay in the square. In this picture I had already removed the "Uncle Kevin" stencil, but you can see how messy the other part looks before I remove the stencil, just wait it will be amazing! Oh, and I used Martha Stewart craft paints mixed with a little fabric medium.

After 24 hours I will iron them again to "set" them and they will be washable (you know, important quality for a bib to have) and wearable!
