The geekery continues…
I taught Sunday School at Church of Craft this past Sunday here in Oakland at the Rock! Paper! Scissors! Collective. My class was How to make a Freezer Paper Stencil and it was pretty fun and people made some cute stencils. Witness:
I made two: a star trek Federation symbol on a black tank top for Jack and a stencil of a forklift that says DAVE under it, also for Jack. I’m so jealous of the Federation symbol I am going to make myself one and one for Badger too.
I just read in a silkscreen book that you can use freezer paper as an indirect stencil with a screen. Which is great as it makes your freezer paper stencil capable of being reused. The book didn’t say how to do it exactly. I think I would use spray adhesive on the freezer paper to stick it to the screen.
I am so fired for procrastinating right now. I spent all night not doing what I should have been doing. No worries, I will pay pay pay for in the next few days.

Hey Perky,
I don’t know about putting freezer paper on screens (?), but I do know you can iron the stencil made from freezer paper right on to the cloth and paint/or otherwise apply color that way. Especially if your only making one or few pieces. No need to go to the mess of a screen, unless production is your aim.
Heat set with iron or dryer (per paint instructions) and voila.

Hi Lindamay,
Amazingly, I did know that… since the beginning of my post I say I taught a class about freezer paper stencils and then posted pictures of the examples….
Love, Minnie
