Freezer Paper T-shirt Tutorial
February 18th, 2007 at 4:29 pm (Crafts, tutorials)
(Picture heavy post)
Step 1. We can have lots of fun
Step 2. 2. 2. There’s so much we can do
Step 3 3 3 It’s just you and me
Okay since that is all I know of that song, I will move on to the actual tutorial
Supplies:
- Freezer Paper, black marker, X-acto, envelopes
- Cutting Board, Matboard, or cardboard
- T-shirts, bags, etc.
- Fabric Paint (You can use regular acrylic paint in place of fabric paint. It works fine but can sometimes be a bit flaky after washing)
- Iron
Step 1. Place the waxy side of the freezer paper down and draw your image. I will use P. Edward Squidersons II as a demo.
Step 2. After sketching the image, use black marker to fill in all the areas that you want the paint to go through.
(If you are using a pre-printed image, you will start at this step. Convert your image to black and white. You can then tape your image facing the waxy side of the freezer paper. You will be able to see the black areas that you want to cut out through the freezer paper.)
Step 4. Make a copy of your image. If you have a simple shape, you can skip this step.
Step 5. Start to cut out your image. Save any of the cut out white pieces in an envelope.
For example, I saved Squidersons’ eyes, head pieces, and the areas between the legs.
You can throw out the black areas.
Step 6. Iron on the main stencil of your image, waxy side down. Make sure you place the iron straight down. You are likely to peel up parts of the stencil if you move it back and forth how you would normally iron.
Step 7. Grab the copy that you made of your image and your envelope full of pieces. Refer to the copy as you piece your image back together like a puzzle, ironing each piece down as you go.
Make sure that you are placing the small pieces waxy side down so that they don’t end up sticking to your iron.
Step 8. Start painting. It is better to dab at the stencil rather than use back and forth brush strokes, which are more likely to peel up the smaller sections of the stencil. Make sure to use a fairly thin layer of paint. (I’ve found out that if you put on too much paint, it is likely to smear in the wash and give you a splotchy t-shirt.)
Step 9. Let the paint dry completely before peeling up the stencil. You can use a hair dryer to speed up this step.
Step 10. Heat set the paint by pressing on each section for 20-30 seconds with the iron set on high. (If you didn’t use fabric paint, you can skip this)
You’re Done. Enjoy looking suave.
A quick recap:
Freezer paper is quick and easy…oh and fun, of course.. The lines are more crisp than what you get with fabric marker, and it is quicker than screen printing, unless you want multiple copies.
A few options for use:
(Clockwise from top)
1. Have a food stain on your shirt right between your boobies? Place food there on purpose.
2. Have dress shirts that you never wear? Add some flair.
3. Have paint stains on a shirt already? Add a stencil image. It may not cover the stains; however, they now seem like they are just part of the charm of the handmade tee.
I hope this was useful. Let me know if you have any questions.
*Look in the sidebar in the next day or two. I will post a template for the flower in the bottom picture and for Mr. P. Edward Squidersons II.
EDITED TO ADD:
If you have any questions, leave a comment and I’ll reply.
I figured that I would answer a few of the common questions here also:
- Freezer paper is similar to wax paper, but it is only waxy on one side (this helps when you are trying to iron it down.)
- You can find it at most larger grocery stores. Smaller ones often don’t. (The ones in my neighborhood are small, so it took me three tries to find it. However, any major chain should have it.)
- Freezer paper peels off easily, leaving no residue. It seals well enough to create crisp lines but is not very sticky.
Edited to Add (4/7):
I have read that you can use the stencils up to 5 or 6 times with good results. (I haven’t tried this myself yet).

Now, just as soon as I find my sketching skills (they’re likely in the same place as I left my sewing mojo), I can get to making my awesome new wardrobe. Why can’t I seem to be able to draw a good swallow? I want a good swallow tshirt.
Love, LOVE the squid!

Thanks for the tutorial! Question: Does the wax of the freezer paper peel off the shirt easily, or do you have to wash the shirt afterwards to get it off?

Melissa:
The freezer paper peels right off, leaving no residue at all. It’s a bit like a really strong post-it note.
(You can also spritz it with bleach instead of using paint. Leave on for 45-60 seconds and rinse well in cold water.)

Hi, great instructions here, very clear! I haven’t done stencils with freezer paper yet but I want to give it a try! Also, I wanted to suggest, that you can use spray adhesive for this same purpose. Spray the back of the stencil, let dry until tacky, and just set on the shirt. I’ve been able to use those stencils over and over, after cutting them out of cardstock. Looks like freezer paper may be easier to cut though, thanks!
VicinSea said,
March 2, 2007 at 11:07 am
I have used both the freezer paper and the card stock+spray adhesive. The card stock works great if you want to make up to ten copies of one design. I skip the fabric paint and use matt-finish acrylic spray paint. Super fast and it washes very well(meaning the paint is forever!) Don’t just reserve this technique for clothing either….I have made wall paper border, sweat suits, lamp shades….everything…I even stenciled a bandaid over a dent on my car!
Have fun!

Would it be possible for you to scan these? Ok, so you probably don’t want to see four billion other people with P. Edward Squidersons II on their shirt, but with $20, that a new shirt and that flower would make a great birthday present!
AmazingAnt said,
March 3, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Ok, so that was a grammar mishap.
Everyone ignore the “that” right after $20…

David said,

Is Wax paper the same thing as freezer paper? I tried ironing with wax paper, but it barely stuck to the Tshirt.
Pam said,

Thank you for the inspiration. I was just about to throw out several shirts with stains….now they will get new life!
andrew said,
March 4, 2007 at 2:43 pm
I used to use this technique with the stuff that they use to wrap reams of paper (it has a thin layer of plastic on the inside) It’s a free alternative to the freezer paper found in any kinkos wastebin though sometimes the logos and whatnot printed on the wrapper can be distracting while drawing your design.

this is brilliant! i had been thinking about this lately actually and i was thinking of using transparency paper as a stencil then i was going to silkscreen it onto the t shirts. but this way is actually much simpler! but i wonder if you can use this for multiple uses?

What a truely fun site! The great thing about this was the tutorials! Have you ever wanted to create original designs or scraplift someone else's design, tweek it a bit, and make it your own and put it on a shirt that you could proudly wear? When I was little, my parents had a silk screen machine, and they tried their hand at if a few times and gave up. This is like the coolest way that I have seen so far, to do pretty much the same thing, but, with a much easier step by step process.

Tracy, those inks are Speedball screenprinting inks. They make some specifically for fabric (I’m assuming that’s what those are). You can usually find them at art stores (not usually craft/art stores like Michael’s or JoAnn’s), or dickblick.com.

We sell freezer paper to various arts and craft companies that resale our paper. We stock it in several sizes.
8.5×11
12×15
15×18
What makes ours work better is the quality of the poly and paper. I did not know if you could list our company on your website as a source?

For those who want to dye the shirt, try putting the dye in a spray bottle and spraying it onto the stencil. I haven’t actually tried this, but its worked with bleach and acetate stencils.
Great tutorial, btw! I’ve stenciled for years with contact paper and acetate, but never thought to use freezer paper.

You can also cut the freezer paper down to the 8 1/2 by 11 inch size (or whatever fits in your printer) and print a design from your computer on the non-wax side of the freezer paper. And there are some great websites with tons of stencils out there.

will be coming here for more tutorials. tnx.
