DIY Baby Bibs

Hello, Friends.  I love making my own gifts.  And it appears a baby boom is on the horizon.  I purchased a few blank bibs in pink, blue and red from TSC Apparel for $1.81 each.  Then purchased a design from Silhouette store for .99 and used a sheet of Square1 Printable Iron-On (approximately $2.22 per sheet).  Tip:  I try to stock "blanks" at my house so that I'm always ready to make a quick gift.

For This Child I Prayed

• Bib from TSC Apparel - $1.81 each
• Silhouette Design #18733 - $ .99
• Square1 Printable Iron-On - $2.22 per sheet.  I was able to print both on one sheet.
• Total cost = $6.83 for both bibs or $3.42 each

• First measure and determine how big you want your design.  I decided on 6" for these bibs.

Pre-heat heat press

• Settings when using a heat press are: 325 degrees and 4 seconds.  This product can also be applied with a home iron.  I used heat press simply because we have a home based t-shirt business and it was available for me.
• Press the bib alone without design first for 4 seconds.  

Silhouette settings

Silhouette process:

• Select design and size to 6".  
• Color fill with your choice of colors.  
• I also added text "For This Child I Prayed"  
• Group all together and set cut lines at Cut Edge.   
• Add registration marks.  
• Print on home printer.  
• Cut with settings of Speed 5, Thickness 13, Blade 5.

Completed baby bib

• Place Silhouette image onto pre-heated bib.  
• Cover with Teflon sheet and press for 4 seconds at 325 degrees.  

This really is a simple process.  If you already know how to do print and cut with the Silhouette, you are more than half-way there.

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,   ~ Marilyn
