The BCS National Championship Game involved the University of Oregon and since we L.O.V.E. Oregon, we had to show our team spirit. We decided to make t-shirts to show our support. They turned out so cute and the kids love them!
Freezer paper is amazing! You can iron it onto fabric and then it peels right off without residue. You find it at the grocery store. And it is easy to cut!
First, you draw or trace your design onto the non-shiny side of the freezer paper. It is like a stencil, so remember that more intricate designs will be harder.
Then you can use an exacto knife or scissors to cut the design out. Remember to save the pieces to make the design complete.
Xander did a backward stencil......
Everyone else did a regular stencil.
The little pieces are very important when ironing the paper onto the shirt.
Like Garrett's shirt....it was very labor intensive, but look how awesome it looks even before it was painted!
You also have to remember to put the pieces in, like the duck's eyes and the diamonds on the crown.
Then you iron on the paper, shiny side down, onto the shirt or other fabric.
So, after you iron the stencil, then you paint. Be careful not to paint too much on the freezer paper, as it will separate from the fabric. We used fabric paint and then let it dry overnight.
I always iron then t-shirts to heat set the paint.
And here are the results! Xander did his all on his own.....awesome!
Garrett chose vintage Duck gear. I think I did a great job on the duck! It was hard to cut out all those pieces!
Cute little Savannah duck.....
The diva duck cheerleader!
They all turned out so cute and the kids LOVED them!
Go OREGON DUCKS!
