Freezer Paper Stencil // Easy T-Shirt Printing Idea!

[@arealniggah]

I saw a previous video, same method, the guy was all over the place. This was so easy, thank you.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad it helped

[@robrobinson9281]

Wow! Your letters are so crisp, great job and instruction thanks 🙏😊.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Pippi-Longstocking]

Four minutes! Thank you! No need for 21+ minutes to get the message across like other videos!

[@UtahGmaw99]

My kids are grown. But they have told me that one of their best memories is when we did stenciled tees one summer years ago when they were little.Thanks Lindsay!

[@UnluckyFoxRot420]

Came in handy for a last minute costume put together. Very helpful thank you!

[@annettefournier9655]

Oh WOW, my granddaughter will love to do this when she comes to visit this summer. Lindsay you just made me the coolest nanna ever! Thanks.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yay!

[@layse2603]

cute! :)

[@sueclark8896]

You are just the craftiest person I know. I have several designs I wanted to do on a tee,but didn't want to hand paint them....this is brilliant....thank you sooooo very much.

[@51andhappy44]

My daughter is also clumsy...and tho' it may seem like a negative word, it was the absolute truth about her when she was growing up. Very nice tutorial. I had forgotten about using freezer paper for this. Thanks for the reminder!

[@alicefayenjbj]

I used this when I made Christmas shirts. I used this to paint the tree on the shirt, then used small paint bottles to make ornaments, lights and garland with puffy paints.

[@melissagonzalez1063]

Thank you! Finally an easy to follow tutorial. I really needed this for my daughters upcoming birthday party where we will be making t-shirts with all the girls.

[@cindymatthewsarrowdalearts6449]

I think perhaps Princess Cooper and I will have to try that this summer. You know we did all kinds of things with freezer paper back in the day. Everything old is new again! :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

so true!

[@DirtyBob2001]

Awe-some! The Cricut arrives tomorrow and we need t-shirts for the big game. Thank you.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Have fun!

[@DirtyBob2001]

@@thefrugalcrafter Well, I used your technique for my first Cricut project, a Philadelphia Eagles logo for my son and it turned out pretty good. Thanks again.

[@marilynjones699]

Thank you Lindsey. My grandson plays Football, basketball and track in High school. I try to make t-shirts with his new number for each of the family each year this will be very helpful. I’ve been trying to use masking tape for the letters but often seeps through!

[@MimiLeeMade]

This is so cool! I have never thought of using freezer paper in crafts, had no idea it was so popular! Me and my friends have a funny/sick sense of humor too 😂 it’s just our thing! I like that she wanted a shirt for herself that said clumsy, means she can laugh at herself! If you’re not willing to laugh at yourself then you better not be laughing at all! Thanks for sharing Lindsay, I love all your tutorials!

[@moogie3111]

Perfect and easy. I've done this before but needed a refresher. Thank you for the direct and to the point video!

[@dianemurray8379]

How fun! And right before spring break, so it'd be so fun for the kids at home to do. Great idea, Lindsay!

[@garyscullion8832]

I just tried this , works great . Thanks.

[@bridgetmurray6683]

Great tutorial..use this method frequently. Easy and you get success always. Thanks for sharing

[@mitchscroggins1327]

Mitchalisia here. This is so cool ! I wish I was your sister/ friend, so l could hangout & do all these cool arts & crafts with you ! You're so lucky to have your own studio to work in ! Have a very beautiful & Happy Easter ! 🐰🌿🌸🌷🌸🌿😊

This was great Lindsay.. I had heard you could do this but i have never done it or seen it done. I just might give this a go!! Hugs! deb

[@created2bless322]

Loved it!!!

[@beverlyrowan5259]

Also great for appliqué and cutting felt with no pins.

[@anitaholmes6824]

That looks so professional! TFS

[@jaspermartin7444]

yay more Lindsay! :-) nice to know that those cutting machines will cut paper, was wondering about that. So much cheaper than vinyl, and bonus, after using the stencil with the gelli plate, the stencil looks cool enough to cut up and use for college material.

[@azzuparis]

Such a cool idea! Thanks, Lindsay 😊

[@judyptak7118]

Pretty cool! Didn't think of doing this before.

Love this!

[@christierella]

Very cool!

[@monicaeggleton4510]

I had to laugh at your written instructions:” I recommend that you watch your shirt.....” I know it was one of those weird corrections that are made for you, but I can visualize watching your shirt when it is being washed by itself on the first time. You know how children can be about wearing a specific item, and they do watch and wait until it is washed! Great instruction!

[@nikoliniolnc]

Monica Eggleton hi there im living in cyprus europe and reynolds freezer paper is not available not even with amazon so is there any other name of iy. Or any other alternative. Cheers 🇨🇾 💚

[@Tippel3]

you just need one that has a light waxy-type of coating on one side, often it's a silicone. It's not like a wax paper has (that would make grease stains) and it's usually just the "not-sticky-side" you put onto your food when you freeze it. But when you heat it with the iron, instead of freezing it, this coat will melt and give you a light "stickyness". If you can't find such paper, just look for sticky/adhesive spray in the section where the fabric paint is. You can buy adhesive spray to stick stencils on walls and even to stick them on fabric. But make sure to follow the instructions, you maybe don't need to heat it! Just make your stencil, spray the adhesive on the backside of it and place it where you like it and press it slightly on the fabric or what the instruction tells you to do. Then folllow the painting/stippling instructions from the video

[@sueclark8896]

Monica: it's called grease proof paper in Europe. I did find Reynolds freezer paper on UK amazon. ...does it just not ship to your location? Cheers

[@Princess_Gengar]

Sorry if you already said in the video, If i were to paint a white design on a black tshirt, would you reccomend 2 layers (leaving the first to dry before doing the second)? Thank you for the tutorial

[@thefrugalcrafter]

See how one layer looks and add more if needed.

[@cassandra007]

Could you use this technique (instead of a plastic stencil) to transfer an image to other paper? Would the paper peel off cleanly, like it did from the T shirt? The crisp lines are stunning!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I don't see why not, just go easy on the ironing so you don't fuse it too well.

[@SimpLeeBeth]

Love it! 😊👍

[@keocongnghiep1423]

wow

[@elliehunt8040]

Lindsay, do you have a favorite kind of t-shirt you use for these projects....100% cotton? cotton/polyester mix? specific brand?? such a great tutorial, thank you!!! I'm going to make a "Birthday Boy" shirt for my son this month :D

[@hovawart16]

Amazing!

[@ahunnitMyles]

Hi ! What is that board called under the paper when cutting the stencil ?

[@georgiacorey954]

Hi Lindsay I'm getting ready to do this for 12 Tshirts & using Speedball fabric paint for screen printing. I saw other utubers say to heat set with an iron & pressing paper or silicone mat to protect iron, after 72 hours so it holds up thru the wash. Then do not wash til after 5 days. What is your experience on the heatsetting & dry time with Speedball?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I always recommend heat setting. I reckon they recommend the 5 days to make sure in any climate the ink deep in the fabric has dried completely. Can you test on a scrap?

[@georgiacorey954]

@@thefrugalcrafter thank you for your reply.

[@sweetestcyanide]

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to customize a old Jean jacket for a while now, and I’ve heard that this method gives you super crisp, clear lines. The design I’m using is very detailed, so I’m hoping it’ll work well. Wish me luck!🖤✨

[@25Killer]

What about blotting on fabric dye?

[@noonebuteverone6331]

Would this work with white on black?

[@cyndig8703]

Hi I’m new at this so how did you cut the letters out and from what? Thank you for sharing love the idea ❤️

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I used an electronic die cutter.

[@billienuhfer447]

How do the shirts do after being washed several times??

[@lorraineturner2817]

Wow Lindsay I have definitely learnt something new through this video tutorial. Thank you for sharing this with us crafters. :O)

[@BratvaTV]

Your daughter is so cute. lol

[@cerabellamoanism6845]

Great information, thank you. I’m thinking about looking for a die cut machine, any recommendations or information for occasional crafter! I needs a grumpy 👕. 🦄🌈

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I really like my scan n cut because I can cut around stamped images.

[@sombrerocordobes2256]

I like your iron❤ how old is it? They don't make them like than anymore.😅

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It was my mom's, I have no idea.

[@denisesavage8865]

So easy! Can you wash it without fear that the paint will come off?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

it will wash fine as long as you use fabric paint or acrylic paint with textile medium but I would wash it separately the first time to make sure.

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Lindsay, That is so cool, those lines are nice and crisp and clean, you never know what we can use from our kitchen!!! How long would you wait before you wash it? TFS, Cheers Anna.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

as soon as it it totally dry (and you can turn it inside out and press it with an iron to heat set it to be sure

[@MarkWilder68]

Amazing where can I get the paint? Thanks

[@TheRachelrockz]

Nice! What did u use to cut the paper and make a stencil out of it..?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

An electric die cutting machine

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Love!

[@ambitiousbeauty1013]

How does it come out with a small craft roller paint brush?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It should be fine

[@j.c.7555]

Great video! Nicely done t-shirt! I am looking into a dye cutter but cannot decide on one brand. The Cricut, Silhouette or Brother. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Jocelyn

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I have a brother scan n cut and love it!

[@j.c.7555]

thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Thank you Lindsay! I do respect your opinion and believe it or not I was leaning towards the Brother! I am hoping you might do a video on all that it can do one day when you have a chance as you are such a great teacher. Thank you for responding! 👍👍

[@minnahumble2294]

Love this idea! Thanks for sharing.Should the tee be 100% cotton?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

i think a cotton or poly cotton blend will be fine

[@mariecochlan664]

Lindsay did you have to heat set? Great tutorial. Thank you. Mx

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You can, just press it inside out or with a pressing cloth.

[@MIXMAKER108]

What is weight of packet

[@spacevikingcowboy5784]

Would you be able to do this with a windbreaker? Like a vinyl material?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Hmm, it might me if when you iron. I'd use a silk screen

[@20BHUNT]

How do you cut out the stencil?

[@leannadodman4941]

Can i use parchment paper or greaseproof paper instead of that you are using

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It won't stick, the plastic coating is needed.

[@Jillian1stJohn3-9-10]

Will fabric ink work on a speedball screen?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Sure

[@JayDub_143]

I love this idea!!! Are these ok to wash? If so how long should you wait after painting before throwing in the washer? I love the shirt I could use a "clumsy" myself! Lol

[@sueclark8896]

JaNetNMelissaWise - read the guidelines on the paint you're using to be sure as far as washing. I wouldn't put any hand painted clothes in the dryer myself. Air dry.

[@JayDub_143]

Sue Clark thank you so much for the help Sue! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I will definitely read the paint and be sure to air dry! ♥

[@muresancristinamaria]

I heard that if you iron it after it is dry, of course with a sheet of paper upon the design, it will resist washing. I confess I didn't try it, but someone who paints clothes does it. You could give it a try... Good luck!

[@sueclark8896]

Interesting Chris. I'll look into that. I paint in acrylic, not even familiar with fabric paint. I suppose they are two different beasts...lol. acrylic is basically plastic which is why I say air dry. Otherwise the risk of cracking & fading & possibly chiping all that will happen. Guess if I had a really cool design, I'd like to preserve it. ♡

[@MySweetTootie2]

Hey Sue. You can purchase Textile Medium and mix it with acrylic paint, and you have fabric paint! Just follow the directions on the bottle.

[@lisawaitt7086]

Is there any medium you could use to blend a couple colors together on s shirt, sort of like you blend distress in on a card?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

you want to pounce them on (not rub) with a stipple brush or sponge but yes you can!

[@lisawaitt7086]

thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich i was wondering what typed of paint would blend colors well.

[@curvy71]

Is plastic stencils ok? Plus what if you don't have a cutter?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You can cut the freezer paper by hand with a craft knife. If you use a plastic stencil just try not to move it when applying paint.

[@vickidip]

Very good, is she clumsy. I am, my husband say I should have either clumsy - or - oops, wrong plant on my tee shirts. it doesn’t hurt to laugh at ourselves sometime as long as we balance it with love and care

[@pemapema209]

If you could show how you cut the words that would be so much helpful 😅 Thankyou 😘

[@moogie3111]

She said she used her die cutter, so Cricut type machine.

[@akshatayerdoor4056]

How long will the freezer paper stick to the fabric? I'm planning to do this for a baby shower and attach the stencils ahead of time, may be the night before. But I don't want it to stick permanently

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That will work great! There us no adhesive to bond permanently so you can leave it quite a while. It would probably eventually unstick, not bond more

[@akshatayerdoor4056]

thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich great!! Thank you so much.

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

You've saved me from spending a ton of money on stencil paper! Would fabric paint work like this?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes it will

[@ummer211]

Do you need to iron the finished product that has been painted? I heard it last longer. What do you think?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Heat setting is always a good idea but this is a paint and should be fine unlike an ink or dye.

[@fonzieskatesurf]

One time use only ya?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yes, this is when you only need to make one shiry, for multiples I would screen print.

[@MikeAndNary]

Where do you get the screen print paint? Please say Walmart.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You can use acrylic paint mixed with fabric medium and both should be available at walmart.

[@Firecloak]

is that stencil that you painted over reusable?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

To put might be able to get one more use but it usually years away

[@patrice8257]

Lindsay another saying can be......middle name prone :)

[@danielle9803]

can you reuse the stencil?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They usually rip, I suggest a silkscreen if you want to reuse a paper stencil to do multiples.

[@marilynjones699]

Can you also use bleach on colored shirts?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

yes, in a spray bottle outside works well

[@rubiyaparvin]

I would like to know how to carve out the letters like O, B, R, etc. From the freezer paper. These letters have holes in the middle, I hope someone understands what I'm trying to say

[@fbiguy5269]

Cut the inner hole first out then the rest of the letter. After that you just need to place the inner circle you have cut out first in the empty letter and iron it on. You could also do like a military style stencil just Google it you will know what I mean by just looking at pictures.

[@spicybeantofu]

Need a hand made stencil tutorial. Anyone have any suggestions?

[@annahamersley1349]

i feel her pain.. i too am clumsy :)

[@7Earthsky]

I'm seeing all these videos on freezer paper that already have prints on them.....Not a single video on youtube about how to actually print on to the freezer paper itself.
