I've noticed a lot of my friends are buying appliques from etsy. I love etsy, but this project is so easy, save your money!
Tools:
Scissors
Iron
Fabric
Pencil
Steam a Seam sheets ($3 at JoAnns for 5 sheets)
clip art, picture, or drawing
something to add an applique to (onesie, tshirt, etc)
Step 1...find an idea! I printed a bunch of pictures that I liked
Step 2 : if you printed ideas like me, turn the printout over and outline the image in reverse, or you can print in reverse too. Cut this picture out.
take out a page of steam a seam. it is basically iron activated glue between two sheets of paper. You'll be working with the sticker side. ( I cut mine roughly the size of my applique) and outline your image on the stickier side of the two. Peel off the looser paper and stick this whole sheet to the wrong side of your fabric. Cut along your border through paper, glue and fabric. Then peel off the stickier side, place onto t-shirt and iron. It's that easy! Here's my final product...I have a stack of these to do but they literally take no time once you understand the process!

all of these instructions can be found on the steam a seam bag. i also purchased what's called "fat quarters" in the fabric shop, they were $0.99! It's way more fabric than you'll need!
