Girls Camp Tshirts

I was in charge of making the Girls Camp Tees for my church this year, coming up with a design and how to do it. So researching online I found this awesome way to make designs on shirts! It's called freezer paper, I could only find it at Wal-Mart, and you just cut out your design and iron it on to the shirt to act as your stencil. So I came up with this design with my Silhouette, cut it out, ironed it on and wha-la our own custom stencil!

Then all the girls got to paint in the stencil how they wanted. It takes probably 4 or 5 coats for the paint to be a true color, especially on our blue shirts.

After letting the paint dry, I peeled off the stencil/freezer paper and...

Ironed over it one more time, with a cloth over it, to seal the paint and now we have some good lookin' shirts for camp!
