DIY // father’s day freezer paper stencil t-shirts

June 9, 2012

father’s day is coming up just around the corner, and i have a fun DIY father’s day gift idea to share with you today!

my children love to get involved and help make gifts for people they love.  so, for father’s day, we thought it would be fun to make their daddy some fun freezer paper stencil t-shirts!  he likes to wear t-shirts when he’s home from work relaxing with the family, so we knew he would get a lot of use out of them.

i’ve been making freezer paper stencils for years, (see here, and here.) it isn’t hard to do at all, and making stencils out of freezer paper is easy, and works really well!

we decided on a few designs, and we got to work.

i made sure to recruit my cute little helpers to help paint the t-shirts.

they were very proud to show their daddy what they made for him!

we made a camper, because they like to go camping with their dad.

and, of course, “super daddy” since he’s a real hero in their eyes!

i am sharing the full tutorial and my step by step instructions along with the details and downloads for all the graphics i used over on my post for hellobee today!

be sure to check it out here, and make the father in your life something personal, and special!
