I've seen freezer paper stencils all over the place.
They looked so cute (and so simple).
I longed to try one (ok..not longed like I long for 6 straight hours of sleep)
but I really wanted to try it.
I was over at I Am Momma - Hear Me Roar reading about her little one's first day of pre-school (too cute) & going through the same thing with the lizard.
In Cheri's post..she had a link to her video tutorial on freezer paper stenciling.
LOVED IT!
So while the lizard was in school..the ladybug and I hit up JoAnn's.
Got some Tulip paint and a few shirts.
(she picked hot pink for herself and gray for the lizard)
Knowing how I have little no patience..
I didn't want to mess up the ladybug's pretty pink shirt.
I practiced on one of her white tees.
I used vinyl letters (I already had) as my guide.
Stuck them on the freezer paper and used an exacto knife to cut around them.
I ironed the freezer paper onto the shirt (shiny side down). Once all the edges were 'stuck' to the shirt..I started painting. I used a foam brush to sponge on the paint.
*make sure to put a cloth/cardboard/towel inside the shirt to prevent the paint from getting on the other side.
Once the paint sets (for me, I waited ~2 mins....no patience), remove the stencil.
The ladybug has a cute new FSU shirt..just in time for football season!

Way to go! You nailed it! Thanks for sharing this with me. I'm excited to see what you make next. It does get pretty addictive! Have a great day!!!
Something I have also been meaning to try for a LONG time. You make it look so easy. I wouldn't know where to start with the design. I will have to think about it a bit harder. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for joining in again this week. Great to see what's been happening at your house. Lou.
