Freezer Paper Stenciled Boys T-Shirts

Pin It

Super Cute, Super Easy! I made these for my nephew's 2nd birthday.
I was pretty impressed with how they turned out honestly. If you have not yet tried to freezer paper stencil yet, let me warn you-once you do, you will be hooked. =D
Look at how mine turned out.

The one on the top left is a saying my nephew says all the time, "Yeah baby, Go Baby" He's so cute.Then I did the lower left one because he loves zoo animals....I mean what kid doesn't right?

I looked online for "silhouette images" of the certain animals I wanted and then traced them onto the freezer paper(shiny side down) through my computer screen.......yes yes, you do what you gotta do when you are not fortunate enough to have one of those nifty little machines that cut images and just about everything else you could ever dream of.

I'm just waiting for them to add the "clean house" feature before I buy one lol

Just joking, although I am super jealous and wish I had one ; )

One day....I will have one to call my own.

So I cut the images out very carefully with an x-acto knife(put something thick underneath) I used a piece of cork board with success. I had first tried a piece of cardboard under but the lines in it kept me from making clean lines, and I tried a wood cutting board too but had the same problem.

Once the images were all cut out I heated my iron; use the cotton setting and no steam.

Lay the cut out freezer paper images shiny side down on your shirt and iron over keeping the iron moving until a nice seal is formed(3-5 min).

Make sure to put cardboard or a sheet of freezer paper inside your shirt to keep it from bleeding through to the back.

I used the fabric spray paint and sprayed green pretty heavily at the bottom, blue moderately across the middle, and orange heavy around the sun but very lightly tapering away from it and towards the sleeves.

Loved this look!

Once it dried overnight, I peeled the freezer paper off and

Ta-Da!.

The Recycle one I did slightly different. First I put the cut out image down, same as the animals from above; then sprayed green & blue all over.

Once that dried, I pulled off that paper, then lightly ironed the "outside stencil"of the image(aka the leftovers of your cut out image) down on top of the shirt and slightly offset the image to my liking.

I used black fabric paint and a painted it with a foam brush. Once dry, I pulled it off and this is my favorite!

I love how it looks all shadowy.
