If you didn't tie dye anything during quarantine, now's your chance to get in on the fun. Baby onesies are great to tie dye because they're super white to begin with so the dye really pops.

Puffy paint is fun and relatively easy to use, plus it gives onesies a satisfying texture. If you're planning a baby shower or just a DIY crafting day, be sure to stock up on puffy paint (which comes in tons of colors and glitters).

Most children of the 90s know their way around a bedazzler, and it's a fun way to add a little bling to a onesie.

Turns out freezer paper isn't only good for keeping food free of freezer burn, it's also a great tool for making DIY onesie stencils. You can read more on HGTV about to how to make a freezer paper stencil, but basically you'll cut a shape out of the paper using scissors or a critcutter, iron the stencil onto the onesie (the heat makes it stick but not totally adhere), then paint over it. Once the paint is dry, you remove the stencil and have an awesome onesie ready to go.

This cute design from Lovely Indeed is made using a silhouette machine, but you can also make one like this using the freezer paper stencil trick mentioned above, especially if your design is a little less tiny.
