Freezer Paper Projects!

For activity day girls we had them make their own canvas bags. They were super fun and easy to make! Here are the tools you will need:

*Something to put the design on (a bag, a shirt, a onesie, etc.)
*Freezer paper
*An exacto knife
*Something to cut on (cardboard or a cutting board)
*Fabric paint
*Paint sponges
*Paper plates
*An iron and ironing board

Here's how to do it:

Take clip art from the internet that you want to use. It needs to be simple. Something like this:

So, now trace this picture onto the rough side of the freezer paper. Then cut out the meat of the picture (the petals and the middle stem of the flower). You should have a square piece of freezer paper with a flower cut out of it. Now take this paper with shiny side down and iron it onto your bag or shirt. Then take your sponges and paint! 

 This is what it should look like. Now just wait until it dries (it shouldn't take too long). If you're in a hurry you can blow dry it dry. Then peel it off and behold the results!

Beautiful!
