Freezer paper stencils

     I wanted to custom make shirts for Duncan, soon to be fisher, and my husband Jeremy.
 Supplies:
-iron
-fabric paint
-stiff bristled paint brush
-drawing or idea of what stencils will be
-exacto knife
-freezer paper
-shirts, shorts, or whatever you are stenciling on

  Freezer paper is found in any grocery store, near the reynold's wrap
Draw or trace your design on the dull side of the freezer paper
-cut out your design with the exacto knife (I would keep your scraps for reverse designs). REUSE EVERYTHING!
-Place shiny side down on your fabric and place the iron (using the cotton setting) straight on the dull side of the paper. Leave for about 20 seconds, or until paper adheres to the fabric (it wont take long).
These stencils are for my soon to be son Fisher

Once the fabric is ironed onto fabric, go ahead and stipple paint the decal

Wait about 15  minutes for the paint to dry enough to remove the paper, but not completely dry (bc fabric paint can peel if applied too thick).

Then set aside for a few hours to completely dry.
as you cannot reuse the paper once it has been painted, I reuse the negative scraps to create a reverse

Here are some other examples I created, for big bro Duncan Lowe, and Daddy Lowe

here is its negative
