21 Onesie Decorating Station Ideas That Will Make Your Baby Shower Unforgettable!
If you’re looking for something to elevate your baby shower, you’ve come to the right place.
The onesie decorating station is a fun and interactive way to entertain guests and give the new baby a head start on their wardrobe.
I have come up with 21 ideas for onesie decorating stations that will help you make the day unforgettable!
Set Up a Colorful Onesie Decorating Bar
This onesie decorating station is so colorful and fun! The rainbow balloon garland and tassel garland add so much color to the space without being too over the top. We love how the colors are repeated in the tissue paper tassels that are hanging from the garland.
The table is topped with a white table runner and rainbow confetti that’s been scattered along the length of the table. The onesies have been hung on a string of twine and clothespins, and the onesie decorating station sign is hanging from the twine as well.
Provide Fabric Markers for Easy Custom Designs
When it comes to decorating baby onesies, the options are endless. But, if you want to keep things simple for your guests, provide fabric markers and let them create their own custom designs.
Fabric markers are a great option because they are easy to use and there’s no mess to clean up. Plus, they come in a wide variety of colors, so your guests can get as creative as they want.
Use Baby-Themed Stencils for Cute Patterns
If you’re worried about your artistic abilities, don’t be! You can use a stencil with a cute pattern to create a fun and unique design on your onesie.
Just place the stencil where you want your pattern to be, then use your fabric marker to fill it in. Once you remove the stencil, you’ll be left with a perfect design!
Add Iron-On Vinyl Name Designs
I love using iron-on vinyl to add custom designs to onesies. You can create your own designs using a cutting machine like a Cricut or you can purchase pre-made designs from shops like Etsy.
I love using a mini iron to apply the designs to the onesies. It’s a lot easier to control than a regular size iron and it doesn’t take up a lot of space on the table.
Create a Tie-Dye Onesie Decorating Station
Tie-dye is all the rage right now and it’s not just for t-shirts! You can tie-dye onesies and let your baby shower guests create their own colorful designs with this easy and fun onesie decorating station idea.
You can tie-dye the onesies ahead of time and let your guests add their own designs to the tie-dye base. Or, if you’d rather not mess with dye, you can use this clever method to create a tie-dye effect with markers.
Offer Fabric Paint for Creative Artwork
Your guests might not be artists, but you can still let them get creative with fabric paint. Set out a variety of paint colors and let your guests use paint brushes or sponges to create their own design on their onesie.
You can also use fabric paint to add some fun patterns to the onesies before your guests arrive. That way, they can use the paint to add their own designs on top of the patterns.
Set Up a Monogram Baby Onesie Station
A monogram baby onesie station is perfect for a baby shower where the parents-to-be have already announced the baby’s name. If they haven’t announced the name yet, you can still use the first initial of the last name or the first initial of the baby’s first name if they have that picked out.
To create a monogram onesie station, you’ll need to buy iron-on monograms in a variety of sizes and fonts. You can also make your own monogram stencils using a Cricut or Silhouette machine and heat transfer vinyl. If you want to keep things simple, you can also buy pre-made iron-on monograms in a variety of fonts and colors.
Display the iron-on monograms in a variety of sizes and fonts so that guests can choose their favorites to iron onto their onesie.
Provide Animal and Cartoon Stencils
Stencils make it easy for guests to decorate their onesies, and you can find all kinds of stencils to match your theme. Stencils are especially helpful if your guests don’t consider themselves artists.
You can find stencils for animals, cartoons, and even shapes like hearts and stars. Most stencils are reusable, so you can use them for future baby showers or other events.
Add Glitter Fabric Paint for Sparkly Designs
Add a little sparkle to your onesies with glitter fabric paint. You can use it to outline your designs or to add a little shimmer to the whole thing. Just like regular fabric paint, glitter fabric paint will dry and set in place, so you don’t have to worry about it rubbing off on other clothes in the wash.
Create a Pastel-Themed Onesie Decorating Table
This pastel onesie decorating table is so lovely! The pastel rainbow balloon garland is a stunning focal point, and I love the idea of using a balloon garland to decorate the front of the table where the onesies will be displayed.
The simple white tablecloth lets the pastel colors of the onesies and balloons pop, and the gold accents add a touch of elegance. If you’re going for a sophisticated look, this is the way to do it!
Offer Cute Baby Quote Templates
You can also create a series of baby quotes in different fonts and sizes that your guests can use to decorate their onesies. This will make it easy for your guests to create a cute design, and you can print the quotes on iron-on transfer paper so they can be easily applied to the onesies.

Set Up a Sports-Themed Onesie Decorating Idea
If the parents-to-be are sports fans, then the onesie decorating station is the perfect place to show some love for their favorite team. You can set up a few different sports-themed onesie decorating ideas, or you can choose one and run with it. For example, you could set up a baseball-themed onesie decorating station and include fabric paint in the colors of the parents’ favorite team, or you could use a baseball stencil and fabric spray paint to create a design that looks like a baseball.
Add Floral Pattern Decorating Options
Floral patterns are a beautiful way to add a touch of femininity to a plain white onesie. Include a variety of floral fabric squares and let your guests choose the fabric that best suits their style.
Pro Tip: Use the fabric glue to attach the fabric to the onesie. This will make sure it stays in place and looks beautiful!
Provide Puffy Paint for 3D Effects
Puffy paint is a great way to add 3D effects to your designs. You can also use puffy paint to add texture to your designs. Just make sure to let the puffy paint dry completely before you hang the onesies up to dry.
Create a “Future Career” Onesie Theme
Will your little one grow up to be a doctor, a lawyer, or a teacher? Have your guests decorate onesies with the future career of their choice in mind.
You could even have a variety of stencils or clipart images on hand for guests to choose from.
Offer Stick-On Appliqués for Easy Decorating
Add a little table of stick-on appliqués to your onesie decorating station. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with fabric paint and it’s a good choice for a co-ed baby shower since most guys aren’t super into crafting.
You can usually find stick-on appliqués in the same section as fabric paint and iron-on appliqués at the craft store. Look for a variety of designs and colors, and make sure the guests know to peel off the backing and press the appliqués onto the onesies before they wear them.
Set Up a Minimalist Black and White Design Table
If you’re a fan of a modern monochrome baby shower, then you’ll love this design table. You can keep your onesie decorating station looking fresh and modern with a simple black and white color palette. We used a black and white striped table runner and a few simple black and white decor pieces to create this look.
We also used the same color palette for our onesie decorating station backdrop. You can swap out the colors to match your baby shower theme, but we used a black and white balloon garland to create a modern backdrop for our onesie decorating station.
Add Washi Tape Guides for Clean Patterns
If you’d like to make it easier for your guests to create patterns on their onesies, add a strip of washi tape to their onesie. They can use the tape as a guide to create stripes, polka dots, or any other pattern they can think of. Once they’re done, just peel the tape off and you’ve got a perfect pattern on your onesie!
Create a Boho Baby Onesie Decorating Station
Boho is a style that’s taking the baby shower world by storm. It’s all about muted colors, dreamcatchers, and a laid-back vibe. If you’re throwing a boho baby shower, you can definitely include a onesie decorating station!
Use a macrame backdrop to display the onesies and have guests decorate them with boho designs. You could even use a variety of muted colors that are on-theme with the baby shower.
Provide Iron-On Letters for Custom Names
If you plan to have a lot of guests at your baby shower, you’ll want to have a variety of onesie sizes to accommodate everyone. But, if you’re worried about buying too many onesies, you can have your guests add their own names to the onesies to ensure everyone gets a chance to decorate. I love the idea of having a basket of iron-on letters and shapes so guests can add their own personal touch to their onesie.
Display Finished Onesies on a Cute Clothesline
A clothesline is a super easy way to display all the finished onesies. You can hang it against a wall or even outside on a porch if the weather is nice. Add a cute banner to the clothesline and some balloons to the ends of the line to make it extra festive!
