Here you will find a selection of simple outline drawings on custom aprons. The aprons can be worn as they are, or if you are creatively inclined, the designs can be painted, colored in.
This first design features an outline drawing of a mother and baby fish swimming next to each other. It can be a great gift from a child to their mom on Mother's Day. The child could color it in ahead of time, or both mother and child can color it in together!
Here is an example of the fish design that I traced with dimensional paint. I also drew in some coral and seaweed outlines with the paint. I had purchased the design on a white apron.
The aprons come in three styles and three color choices. The styles include children's aprons, and two different lengths for the adult aprons. Any design can be ordered on any style apron.
The fuchsia flower apron for adults is shown here in the medium length option on yellow. Teens through adults can also enjoy some coloring fun. It also has a template form for personalizing with a name.
The Chef Pizza Toss apron is shown in the long length on white. Do you know a pizza chef that could use a special apron?
I own several of the aprons from Zazzle, and they have all been well made. The fabric is a medium weight cotton which is made of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. They wash up quite well in the laundry and do not need ironing.
The strap around the neck on the adult aprons has an adjustment buckle on it. The straps around the waist are quite long; there is enough room for me to bring it around and tie it in the front. I wear a size 10 in misses.

Are you looking for a fun activity for the kids to do at a party and/or as a family activity? Aprons to color in can be your answer. The kids will have an apron to help protect their clothing for future projects, and also have something that they have added their own artistic flare to.
When I was a kid, I loved creating art, and I also wanted my art to serve some kind of purpose. I liked seeing my artwork being appreciated and also used in some way. I used to make pin cushions out of walnut shell halves. How about your kids? I am sure that they would like to see their artwork on actual items.
You can also use fabric paint, and/or fabric painting medium mixed in with acrylic paints, along with paint brushes. For quicker drying time, just paint on a thin layer of paint on the fabric.
Preparation Tip
Whatever painting medium you use, do have flat sheets of cardboard on hand to place under the apron, before having the painting to begin. This will prevent paint bleed through onto the table or onto anything else that might be under the apron.
Also, be sure to have the painting activity occur early on during your get together, so that the paint can be drying while the kids are snacking or playing games.
This is the cat apron before any paint is added to it. You can order with your own text, or just delete the text if you don't want any.
The kids aprons are smaller and come in the style that is pictured above. There are also adult sized aprons for older kids that come in medium and long lengths. All three styles come in a choice of white, khaki, and yellow.
When buying, choose the outline design that you like first, then choose your apron style and/or color. These are additional outline drawings that I have already drawn:
