This has to be one of the coolest crafts I have ever made. Mainly because it is so easy and it has such a great outcome! All you need is:
- Freezer Paper (not wax or parchment, but paper with a plastic coating on one side)
- Iron
- Fabric Paint
- Foam Paint Brush
- Exact-o-knife
- Pen or Pencil
- Fabric item of your choice (I used one of Lucy's onesies)
I printed out an image I wanted to put on the onesie. I selected a bowling ball with a pair of bowling pins, perfect for the start of bowling season! Then I cut a piece of the freezer paper to just a bit larger than the image and traced the image onto the freezer paper with the plastic side down. Using the exact-o-knife, I cut along all the lines to make a stencil. I didn't have to worry about the pieces all being connected since it gets ironed on to the fabric so the will stay put.

After it was ironed on, I used purple fabric paint in the fabric exposed areas. The paint directions say to dry for 4 hours, but since it is spread out and I am impatient, I probably only left it for about 2-3 hrs. Then I pulled all the paper off and viola! I LOVE the outcome. I ended up making two and will probably make a lot more once I get more colors. I also plan to make some shirts and things for Rudy and myself.
