Stencil Shirts with Freezer Paper

Step 3Knives and Hot Irons

Knives and Hot Irons

  • Island Arrangement
  • Cutting Board
  • Ironing Lots of Islands
  • Hot Stuff
Slice out the black parts of the stencil. Save any islands you have with great care, seperate from the scrap pieces and such, and in a way that you'll be able to place them back into the stencil. Save some scraps for touching up later, if that's needed.

Heat up your iron, and lay out your shirt. While you're at it, you might as well iron the shirt so it's super smooth. Position the stencil on the shirt, waxy side down, placing any islands in their respective positions. Now press the iron flat down on each section of the shirt for a good 10-15 seconds. Poke the paper to make sure it's firmly on, you may have to go back over it, but the better that stuff sticks, the crisper the lines will turn out.

Freezer paper can usually be picked up at your local supermarket. It's just brown paper that has wax on one side. Hunters use it to wrap their meat and freeze it.
