I have seen the idea all over blog land and I finally gave it a try. I have been holding on to a t-shirt of Noah's because it still fits him but he had gotten a big grease stain on the front and I just knew I could save the shirt somehow. Check out what I came up with:
It was super simple and I am happy with how it turned out being my first attempt.
For the Shamrock:
I simply found a shamrock clip art in Microsoft Word, printed it on cardstock, cut it out to make a pattern and traced it onto my freezer paper. *Remember shiny side down.
For the 'No Pinching':
I used my Cricut and Lyrical Letters font, I cut a piece of freezer paper to fit on my mat and let the Cricut do the work for me.
Once I had my stencils ready I ironed shiny side down to the shirt and painted with acrylic paints. I let the shamrock dry over night and then ironed on the 'no pinching' on painted and let dry. It was super easy and I plan on doing more freezer paper stenciling.
This rocks! Seriously awesome. I have stenciling in my future too...
