St Patrick's Day Baby Outfit
Let the Luck of the Irish Be Your Guide
As St. Patrick's Day approaches, you may consider dressing your baby up in a special St. Patrick's Day baby outfit. What better way to celebrate the luck of the Irish than to deck your baby out in green? St. Patrick's Day outfits come in all varieties. You can choose a store-bought outfit, or you can turn it into a fun activity, creating your own unique design. This doesn't have to be a costly endeavor. There is a St. Patrick's Day baby outfit for every budget. When embarking on the search for that outfit, consider the following options:
Purchase an Outfit
This can be done at the local mall or via the internet.
Choose something simple. An already adorable outfit with a hint of green can be dressed up by a green beanie cap.
Stores and internet sites sell cute little outfits with shamrock patterns or Celtic symbols. Take your pick.
A St. Patrick's Day bib paired with any outfit can help your baby celebrate the Irish holiday.
Choose one element of green and add it to any baby outfit. Pick up a pair of green socks.
If you're headed to a special St. Patrick's Day party, consider buying an adorable St. Patrick's Day costume. What could be cuter than transforming your cutie pie into a mini-leprechaun? Check your local costume stores and see what they have to offer.
Make Your Own St. Patrick's Day Baby Outfit
Buy your baby a simple onesie in Irish green and adorn his or her outfit with a shamrock patch. Patches can be found at most craft stores and are relatively inexpensive. Many patches can be easily ironed on. Another option is to sew a patch onto the fabric. This will ensure that it withstands multiple washes.
If you don't care for patches, hand-paint a shamrock. It doesn't have to be perfectly symmetrical.
Use green glitter paint to add shimmer and glitz to the outfit.
Choose your own Irish decorations to complement the creation.
Hand-paint your child's name in the middle of a bright, green clover.
Whichever option you decide on, you don't have to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. In fact, many people of non-Irish descent enjoy donning green and parading around wearing shamrock pins or other Irish apparel. The truth is that more people are born in the United States of Irish descent than are born in Ireland, and it's been reported that the holiday of St. Patrick's Day is actually even more popular in the United States than Ireland itself. Your little baby is never too young to join in the "wearin' of the green" fun. Make sure to take lots of photos of your little one's St. Patrick's Day baby outfit. They will probably be great conversation pieces for years to come.
