Freezer paper stencil tutorial

I'm almost embarrassed to post this tutorial because the pictures are horrible (and I don't have the energy to color correct them) and the outcome was not so great. My first go round looked good but due to my poor x-acto cutting skills this one didn't turn out so cute.

Step 1
Gather your tools - freezer paper (I got it at the hardware store but you may be able to find it at a large grocery store), fabric paint, a cutting mat, x-acto knife and whatever you want to print on.

Step 2
Design and print the graphic you'd like to stencil. Trace the graphic on the paper side of the freezer paper and cut it out the black portions with an x-acto knife.

Step 3
Iron the freezer paper onto the shirt (wax side down) and paint.

Step 4
Let it dry for several hours then pull the paper off.

And one more thing...do NOT wear your favorite J.Crew white painter tee. Splatterd red fabric paint will not come off :-(
