I am probably not going to tell you anything new in this post.
If you've been around the crafting community long enough,
then you already know how to do this.
But for the two of you who've heard of "freezer paper stenciling"
but haven't seen the countless tutorials out there,
(I won't make you raise your hand)
this ones for you!
What you need:
Fabric, freezer paper, exacto knife, stencil (computer print out),
paint and an iron.
Print out what you'd like to put on your fabric.
Then tape some freezer paper to a cutting mat
(make sure the shiny side is DOWN)
and then tape your print out over that.
Using your exacto knife cut out the stencil (what you want painted).
Some people put the print out under the freezer paper,
I just like to put it on top!
Then just iron the freezer paper to your fabric.
Make sure to go over the edges a couple of time and make sure it's all sealed!
All you have to do now is paint...and paint and paint.
However many layers of paint is up to you,
I usually do at least two!
Once the paint is dry peel off the freezer paper
(or if you're like me, just take it off once you're done painting,
because you can't wait to see how it turned out,
and then let it dry).
I decided to outline this one with a sharpie but you most
certainly do not have to do that.
I had a few blotches so it helped cover my mistakes.
Come back next week and I'll show you what I used this
freezer paper number fabric for!
