When buying my maternity clothing, I ended up with two or three black tops, and a gray one. I didn’t have much color. So I found this white one for 6.98 on clearance at Target, and picked it up. I decided to add some purple to it, because I love purple. So I grabbed some freezer paper from my mother (thanks mom!), my silhouette, and I got to work. I used the method of freezer paper stenciling. And I LOVE this method. So easy, and so fun! I have been really into painting stuff lately, so I loved the instant gratification of this project.
I used I am Momma Hear Me Roar’s Tutorial on Freezer Paper Stenciling. If you don’t have a silhouette, you can TOTALLY do stuff without one! Her tutorial actually shows the whole process WITHOUT a cutting machine. If you do have a silhouette, she has some tips on using it with freezer paper here.
Oh, a note about the type of paint I used: I just used Acrylic paint with textile medium added in. I like doing it this way so I can use my paint colors for all types of projects- not just wood, and not just fabric. I get the best of both worlds. And it washes fine. This shirt had the paint cracking a tad, but I probably just didn’t put enough textile medium in it. And I don’t mind the way it looks, so we’re good!
Hope you’re having a wonderful valentines day!
