I'm going to show you how to make a stencil to paint with out of freezer paper! You can find this in your typical grocery store bag/ food storage aisle. I learned from some other DIY sites, but I added a couple tips that I have found useful for the first timer! Ok, here we go...
 |
| Step 1: Cut out a pattern on freezer paper- I did mine on my new Silhouette, but you could probably use a Cricut ( never tried it though..) or trace by hand, shiny side down, and here's a little tip- don't try to cram in too much stuff! I did and it was hard to get the negative spaces off that you want to use for the stencil. This is a picture of the paper after I picked off my "stencil".. |
 |
| Step 2: Iron on the shiny side to whatever you're making- another tip, make sure you have enough room around the edges to paint. A few of mine were narrow, and therefore tricky to paint neatly. |
Dab on with paint
generously, I used a permanent acrylic paint with a foam brush, but I
have seen it used with a sponge too.. Whatever works for you. Leave it
on for a half hr or so. For the pink bib, I layered the other part of
the cake on top of the brown after it was semi- dry to add some detail/
color. Peel off carefully.
 |
| Ta Da! Finished product! Pretty cute and fun to do for an afternoon when you're feeling crafty! These among many more will be for sale soon. |
