Freezer Paper Stenciling Tutorial
Respect The Stash - Freezer Paper Stencilling I finally did it. I not only got around to trying my hand at the elusive freezer paper stenciling projects that have been all over the blogging world in 2010, but I even made a simple tutorial.
It doesn't matter how great (or horrid) of a tracer you are. I promise.
- Pick your design. I whipped this bad boy up. I printed it on regular paper then traced it on freezer paper.

- Cut out you freezer paper stencil. I used an exacto knife (side not why do I keep breaking every single exacto knife I purchase? I mean the blade, the clicky mechanism, you name it I will find a way to break it.)
- Shiny side down on the freezer paper iron it on your item to be stenciled. I had a few blank onsies lying around so I went with that.
- Now break out your paint and start painting. You don't even have to stay inside the lines (yay!). You want to make sure you have a piece of cardboard or something else below the surface you are painting because the paint may soak through your onsies or t-shirt.
- Wait. This is the worst part, waiting for the paint to dry. If you want to speed things up you can go ahead and use a blow dryer to quickly dry the paint. It might make things a little goopy though? I probably waited about two hours before the fun part.
- Peel off that paint and voila! You have a freezer paper stenciled shirt. You will want to iron the dried shirt to set the paint and then wait at least 72 hours before washing.
This is a great way to cover up stains on shirts and extend the life of clothing. I can not wait to see what you freezer paper stencil.
