This little girl can't wait to meet her little sis. 2 more weeks left . . . and counting. She's ready. And so am I!
One of the projects I wanted to finish
before having this little one, was to make
big sister/little sister shirts. I'd always wanted to try out the
freezer paper stenciling and thought this was the perfect opportunity.
Made has a great tutorial on freezer paper stenciling. Go
here to check it out.
-I don't have a fancy program and just made my
design off of Microsoft Word. The owls were part of the clipart.
-I was able to print it off
right onto the freezer paper (you want the ink on the dull side and not on the shiny side).
- Then you have the really
fun part (definite sarcasm coming through - - if you couldn't tell). You get to
cut it out with an exacto knife. This is the longest process (if you have words - - tiny words).
-
Iron on the freezer paper (shiny side down) to the shirt.
-Use
fabric paint (I used the Tulip brand) to blot the paint on the shirt and let dry for 3-4 hours.
-When you're
done, you'll get something cute like the shirts above. (this was my first time and I did have some bleeding through - - especially with the name Reese. Need to figure out what to do next time.)
Ava absolutely
loved her shirt. She couldn't stop looking at the finished product on herself. I
can't wait to get a picture with the girls in them together.
