Friday Favorite: I Heart Freezer Paper Stencils

Recently a friend gave me a copy of The Creative Family and I have absolutely loved reading through it. One of the projects in the book uses freezer paper stencils to upcycle used clothing. You can find lots of tutorials on freezer paper stenciling online, so I won't go into detail about how to do it. I'll just tell you that you must try it. It is so fun and easy to do. I made a few for Christmas gifts and then made a couple more after Christmas. I have also been experimenting with adding an applique to the shirt and I have been really happy with the results. So fun!

I painted the tree using the stencil and then added the appliqued leaves.
