Supplies:
Freezer paper
Fabric Paint
Scissors
Sponge
Iron
Draw a design on the coarse side of the freezer paper. Cut the design out, keeping the white space around your design intact and getting rid of the actual design shape.
Lay the shiny side of the freezer paper onto your fabric and iron it into place using the highest setting on your iron.
Slip a barrier between the layers of your fabric, in this case, I used a brown paper bag. This will prevent bleeding between the layers.
Squirt some fabric paint onto a piece of paper. Dip your sponge in the fabric paint and dab it into the inside of the stencil.
You do not want excessive paint on your sponge, this will result in bleeding outside of your stencil. Go slow and firmly press the fabric paint onto the design.
When the fabric paint dries {and it will dry quickly},
slowly peel off the freezer paper.
I added a few iron on rhinestones, to give my guitar design a more rock and roll feel.
For under $5, I have a one of a kind custom baby shower gift.
Using the same techniques, I also made a let's rock and roll onesie.
Can you guess what the theme of the baby shower was?

ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I love how it turned out! Adorable! I haven't dyed anything yet but been wanting to give it a try! You make it look so easy!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Did you run the freezer paper through the printer in order to do the letters?
ReplyDeleteSeriously the cutest onesie ever! I love the color you used to dye it too Amy! I need to try this freezer paper stuff.. everyone keeps talking about it. Thanks for the easy tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Lucky baby who gets to wear this!
ReplyDeleteThat is just so darn cute! Love the guitar bling and am curious about how you did the letters.
ReplyDeleteSHUT UP! Are you kidding me with your fabulosity (yes I just created a new word to describe you) That guitar and "Let's Rock and Roll" seriously freaking adorable!
ReplyDeletethat is AH-MAY-ZING! i'm so doing this for my 6 (almost 7 yo) he wuld luv it! i didn't realize it was that easy to do with freezer paper - just like the dye job i was scared to attempt it. and the iron transfers you buy are expensive and then they make the shirt "too itchy" to wear he says. thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteThose are just too cute!! I love the front and back. :) Megan

ReplyDeleteSo cutte!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLove it! You're so creative! I saw a yellow onesie (for the life of me I can't remember where!) with a lemon slice on it that said "freshly squeezed" on the front! Lol! I laughed my head off at that one! :)

How cute! I've been meaning to make something like this for my little one! Her Daddy is a guitarist... so a cute pink top like this would be adorable! Love the rhinestones too :)
ReplyDeleteConsider me your newest follower from Cass Can Sew :)
Great post. I found this through the Create and Inspire linky party. I linked in a rhubarb and banana jam I did to use up old bananas.
ReplyDeleteCheers
