I saw this tutorial a while back on painting shirts using freezer paper stencils, and it sounded like a great idea. But I never had any blank shirts, so the idea laid dormant in my mind for a long time. Then I found this tutorial over at MADE, a blog that is having all boy ideas this month… yay! (Do you get the feeling I spend too much time browsing online tutorials?) I have lots and lots of t-shirts that are ready to retire, so 2 white shirts and a green one became these:
Blank shirts, fresh off the serger
Then I drew some little robots onto freezer paper, and cut them out. I wanted something that said “Big brother” and “Little brother”, without using those exact words. Here’s the final product:
Big robot, little robot
Because, really, what’s the point of having 2 kids if you can’t dress them in matching outfits?
Looks great! I’d love to have one for Maya. You really encourage me to be more creative & venture out.
I love the shirts, what a great idea to use old T-shirts to make little new ones. amd the robots are adorable
WordPress referred me to your blog–I just made some robot freezer paper stencilled tees, too! So much fun & delightfully easy. best to you.
