Simple DIY Football Onesie
It is very easy to make your own football onesie. All you need is a brown onesie (Hobby Lobby was the only place where I could find one), some white or ivory felt, and a needle and thread (or sewing machine). I also used an embroidery hoop to make it easier, but it was not necessary.
Cut one long thin rectangle of felt. Sew it to the onesie using a back stitch. Cut 5 smaller felt rectangles and sew them on. I intentionally make the strips slightly different sizes and sewed them at slightly different angles.
Halloween costume idea: Benjamin as a football player and Lyla as a football.
Note: Sewing the felt on will make for a sturdy and more secure onesie. However (especially if you’re only planning on having your baby wear this once or twice) you can use a hot glue gun or fabric glue to attach the felt and save a lot of time.
This is awesome!!!! GREAT Halloween idea!
This is ADORABLE! I'm definitely going to make one of these for my next baby. 🙂

I love this! I may have to find a brown onesie, and make one for my son! Thanks for the inspiration!
OMG, this is adorable!!! I have a nephew who I have to make this for! Thanks for such a great idea!
This is adorable! I have pinned it to Pinterest!
I love this idea. I will have to make one for Jaye for the football season, although she'll be a scrawny football.
I love Halloween combo costumes where different people play different parts that go together. I've been thinking of doing Jaye as a Chipotle burrito!
How simple yet brilliant! I love this! Saw you over at Sundae Scoop party.
This is so ridiculously cute! I love it! Great blog, am a new follower :).

So cute! I love football season 🙂
So adorable. My little guys are basically out of onsie range but this would make an adorable t-shirt as well. My husband is a HUGE football fan and would just love to see his little guys in a shirt like this.
Haha! This is so awesome and adorable! Babies do have that football-ish shape. That's what makes them so easy to hold under your armpit. 😉 Just kidding. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Very cute! My baby is due this week. He needs one of these 🙂
featured you on my FB fan page 🙂

LOVE THIS! Featured you on my blog in my Friday Finds post: http://diykindagirl.blogspot.com/2011/09/friday-finds.html 🙂
That is absolutely adorable! I may need to see if Little Brother could still pull the onesie off this fall (he's 18 months). It would be SO perfect for college football gamedays! 🙂
On that note, I have a new football related link party that will run each weekend throughout the fall. Would love to have you link it up there! 🙂

Absolutely adorable! I am on bedrest right now, and I was looking for some projects that I could do! I think my 2 preschool age kiddos could even help with this one! I know they could cut the felt out for mommy! Thanks!
