Yesterday, I shared pictures from the Etsy Craft Party we threw on Friday. Today, I wanted to share a tutorial for one of the crafts we did at the party: Freezer Paper Screenprinting! This is a really easy craft that I think would be great to do with kids too! Here's what you do:
1. Print out a design on regular printer paper.
We chose the Nashville skyline to go with our theme.
2. Trace the design onto the smooth paper side of a piece of freezer paper.
3. Cut out the inside of the design.
I would recommend doing a simpler design if you're doing this with kids - this part was kinda tricky, especially since we were using scissors rather than an x-acto knife.
4. Carefully iron the freezer paper to the fabric.
5. Paint a thin layer of fabric paint inside the design.
*It also helps to place a piece of cardboard under the fabric or inside the tote so that the paint doesn't bleed through.
6. Slowly remove the freezer paper and you're left with a "screenprinted" design!
Here we are with all of our creations!
Awesome DIY! Can't wait to make all sorts of screenprinted things
