Freezer paper stencil box

 
Personalise your packaging using a freezer paper stencil
Freezer paper can be bought online or in most craft stores, it has a waxy coating on one side which allows you fix the stencil in place by ironing it

Buy this box at my etsy shop 

What you need:
Freezer paper
Scissors/punch
Iron
Paint
Paint brush
Test you paint on an inconspicuous area first to check it doesn’t bleed too much, thicker paint works better than runny/watery paint

Cut out your design using scissors or make it even simpler and buy a pretty punch to use instead

Using an iron on a low heat, fix you stencil, wax side down to your packaging

Paint your stencil
Top tip - only use a small amount of paint to prevent any bleeding under the stencil, if the effect isn’t dark enough apply multiple coats, waiting for the paint to dry between coats

Allow to dry before peeling off the freezer paper

Freezer paper stencil tshirts

  

I made some cute little stencilled tshirts using freezer paper and fabric paint at the weekend
I just printed an outline on the freezer paper with my regular injet printer and cut it out. I then ironed the freezer paper, waxy side down, onto the tshirt. I painted the stencil useing screen printing paint, waited for it to dry and then peeled off the stencil. I ironed it afterward to set it but check your paint instructions for how to fix it
Theres some great silhouette clip art available on the internet to use if your rubbish at drawing like me!
