    4. Position leopard print stencil onto top section of onesie.
    5. Spray Fuchsia dye over stencil. Remove stencil. Repeat on top part of baby beanie.
    6. Squeeze Turquoise dye onto the bottom section of onesie, letting the color bleed upward and fade into the leopard pattern for an ombré effect.

    8. Cover onesie and beanie with plastic tablecloth to keep damp and let set 6 to 8 hours or longer for most intense colors.
