FREEZER PAPER "SCREENPRINTING"

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!
