While checking out some links at a recent linky party, I ran across some adorable Valentine's Day shirts made with freezer paper stencils. I had never heard of such a thing, so I followed a trail of links to this, a video tutorial on how to make a freezer paper stencil.
I love personalizing. I love painting. I love inexpensive. I love easy.
I see a lot of shirts in my future.
I made this Valentine's Day shirt for Brennan, and I just had to choose a complicated design as my first shirt. It required two different stencils laid on top of each other in two phases, but it worked out great!
And since I had already cut out the letters of Brennan's name, I decided not to put them to waste. I made him an everyday shirt, as well. Way more practical than a Valentine's Day shirt.
Besides the fact that I paint everything uphill, I'm in LOVE! (Hopefully it won't be obvious when it's on?)
Have you ever tried freezer paper stencils?

So sweet! Can't wait to try this out!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love love LOVE freezer paper stenciling! Since I don't have kids to make t-shirts for, there's no way my bf would wear one, and I didn't want one for myself I opted to making a Valentines Day throw pillow instead. I love how versatile this is. Can't wait to see what else you come up with in the future with it.

I've been wanting to try this! You beat me too it! :) Did you find the Freezer Paper at Kroger/Publix I've been told it can be hard to find. I may just have to make my guys V-Day shirts. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteGaylene, you can get freezer paper at Wal-Mart near the Ziplocs, etc. I'm not sure where else you can get it. I also got a new X-Acto knife there. The paint, however, I had to get at Michael's. Hope this helps! Good luck!!
