Freezer Paper Tutorial

T Shirt Painting Tutorial.

Materials:

• t-shirt
• printer
• freezer paper (you can purchase it in 8.5 X11 sheets here)
• exacto knife
• cutting surface
• fabric paint
• sponge brush
• card stock
• iron

Step 1:
Choose an image that will not be too difficult to cut and print it onto the dull side of the freezer paper.

Step 2:
Cut out the black parts using the exacto knife.  Be sure you have a cutting surface underneath so you don't cut your table.

Your stencil should now look like this.

Step 3:
Plave the stencil shiny side down on your t-shirt and iron.

Step 4:
Squirt a dab of paint onto a sponge brush.

Step 5:
Quite liberally fill in the stencil with paint.

 

(Yes I did get a little on the edge.  I ended up stenciling 2 butterflies to cover up my mistake).

Step 6:

Gently peel away the freezer paper.  Now bask in the beauty of your creation :)
