My wife decided to Tie Dye the old stained baby onezies. I thought she was nuts but it worked out great! The stains are covered by colors and we have new clothes without spending more money. This kit goes a long way! We have gotten so many compliments! My wife is genius!

These Pastel Dye Sticks are awesome!! I had a bunch of hand me downs and I gathered a few kids over and we had a ball decorating and creating new designs on different clothing articles. This would be perfect for onezies!

If you're planning to have another baby, save it!! or if you have a friend who has a baby, hand them down! Its not rude to hand down, its actually a big help considering how fast they grow. I didnt even get to use 25% of my baby clothes, they were all grown out of so fast.

You can always cut the crotch and make it a T-shirt. But the above ideas (excluding the wipes?) are awesome too!!

These are awesome, I used them on some old sweat pants and they came out really cute! I'm always getting compliments on them. I just wanna note that if you make a mistake, you better be creative to covering it up or it'll look bad. lol

My wife was sad to put away our childs onezies when she grew out of them so she made a patch work quilt out of them for her for when shes older. It was a sweet, very nice momma gift for baby.

My mom did this as well with with our old onsies and some of our cuter outfits. They are very special gifts so I keep mine in a storage box...sadly I can't see it in there so I'm thinking of getting a shadow box or something like a frame to keep it in so it will be protected but still something I can view and enjoy.

I gave a lot to Goodwill, and which I'd kept some when I had a surprise second. You could knit them together as a keepsake blanket also.

This is a wonderful idea. you know, we used to be embarrassed as children to wear hand me downs, but I think, if we had an activity re- coloring the clothes, it may have increased our interest to wearing them.
