How to Stencil a T-shirt with Freezer Paper

Step 5 Iron it On

After you cut out the colored parts of the stencil, you'll need to iron the freezer paper onto the shirt.
When you apply heat to the paper it causes the wax to melt and stick to the shirt, giving you a perfect stencil.

(note: make sure the paper is waxy side down when you iron it on, or else it'll mess up your iron)

Don't confuse wax paper with freezer paper. Freezer paper only has wax on one side. Wax paper will not work correctly for this project.

Help! The wax paper isn't sticking to the t shirt when I iron it on. I'm using double sided-wax paper: is this the same thing as freezer paper?

Double sided wax paper is bad. The wax will melt onto your iron.

The iron and wax paper = genius! I'm going to do this.
