The first step is to select an image to use for your stencil. Google the pattern you are looking for, we searched dolphin template and found the ones we liked. Print them off. The next step is to trace the image onto the "dull" or "plain" side of your freezer paper. After tracing, you will carefully cut out the inside of your image using an x-acto knife. You can use the piece that you have cut as your stencil or the pattern that was left behind. We used the dolphins that we cut out!
Place your cut-out image shiny side down on the shirt and iron over it to adhere it to the shirt. Make sure that it is stuck down all around the edges. Use any fabric paint to paint inside the stencil (or all over the shirt in our case)! For this project we tried the spray on fabric paint! It gave the shirts a tie dye look!
Let the paint dry then peel off the freezer paper stencil! Enjoy your creation! You are only limited by your imagination on what type of shirt you can make!
Hope this helps!
