Reverse Freezer Paper Stenciling

I'm finishing up the new fall patterns and my t-shirt and knit fabric stash was running critically low....so I resorted to "reverse" freezer paper stenciling this weekend to spruce up some boring ones.

Step 1: I cut out shapes using my large scrapbook punches.


Step 2: I ironed them onto the plain t-shirt.


Step 3: I mixed about a teaspoon of fabric paint with water into this spray bottle.



Step 5: I sprayed the t-shirt until it was covered.


Step 6: I let them dry, peeled off the shapes, and ironed them to set the paint. Voila.....fun prints to work with.


The one above made some great sleeves for a little dress I was working on:




I just sent off one of my patterns for testing last night! Here is a sneak peak:
