About this design

The newest member of the gingerbread family has arrived. This gingerbread baby is chubby and round, with a big head, short arms and legs, and a sleepy closed-eye smile. A large scalloped bib covers the chest in cream icing, and small icing marks decorate the wrists. It is simple, soft and very sweet.

The baby is one connected piece with four cut-outs: the smile, the bib and the two wrist marks. Because the shapes are big and bold, it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall, one of the smallest sizes in the collection.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. For a onesie, 4 to 5 inches tall fits the chest of most sizes. For an ornament, 3 inches. The bold shapes also cut well from felt for soft, baby-safe decorations.

Step by step: baby’s first Christmas onesie

  1. Set the baby to 4.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
  2. Add “Baby’s First Christmas” in your software, curved above the figure.
  3. Mirror and cut both from brown or gold iron-on vinyl.
  4. Press the baby on the front of a white onesie, then the text above.
  5. Turn the onesie inside out before washing.

Color ideas

  • Brown with a cream bib, the classic
  • Brown with a pale pink or pale blue bib
  • Gold with white for a special keepsake
  • White on a red onesie for a single-color design

Good to know

On a white onesie, cut only the brown layer: the fabric shows through the bib and smile as the icing, so the design stays light and soft against a baby’s skin. Iron-on vinyl in a thin, stretchy finish is the most comfortable choice for baby clothes.

Variations to try

  • Add a name in the bib area of a larger cardstock version with a paint pen.
  • Add the editor’s offset border for a round sticker.
