Freezer Paper Stenciling Tutorial on a Shirt
One of my favorite techniques has been freezer paper stenciling on t-shirts as seen here,
here,
here,
and here .
So if you missed my blog swap with Allison at A Glimpse Inside last week, I thought I would share with my readers how I brought this technique to decorating.
Aren't these mini decorative pillows cute? I'm excited to show you how to make them.
I found these vintage looking money bags at a garage sale for $1. I knew I could do something cool with them.
I started by pairing the bags with some corduroy that I had in my stash.
I cut them down to 7 inches tall, 6 inches wide. I'm pretty sure most of you know how to make a pillow, so I won't bore you with that information. Make sure you leave a large enough hole to turn the fabric since it is quite thick. I like to use as much fabric as I can and not waste anything, so I used even the back of the money bags even though it didn't have any of the cool printing on it.
They needed something so I printed up some numbers in Word and then traced them onto freezer paper. Cut the number out and iron them on to the fabric you are using. I used black paint and a sponge brush to fill the stencil in and let it dry. Once it's dry you can peel off the freezer paper.
Then you stuff the pillow and finish sewing the seam.
Aren't they cute stuffed in this vintage wire basket?
Or you can use them as a door stop or to stuff a decorative basket. What would you do with them?

these r great, and I have an entire roll of freezer paper under the counter, an since I now live alone,, I don't have allot of meat to freeze, so now I can use it for all your great crafty ideas!!!!! I would of never thought of using that, but in today's world, it seems like we use allot of scraps and turn them into beautiful works of ART!!!! Thanks again, and HAPPY CRAFTING:-):-):-) Shelley Kelly
