YES! Totally ..."Aorta be your Valentine"? YES! Totally brilliant. Love your design and the tutorial! I have a brand new role of freezer paper in the kitchen drawer just waiting for me to get off my arse and DO a few of those artsy projects I've "pinned." <br /><br />Don't know if you will find this helpful for future projects, but I ran across a tutorial for using a web-based program to re-size images for free. The program is called Pic Monkey (http://www.picmonkey.com/) and the tutorial was posted on The Graphics Fairy, a simply fabulous source for free vintage images, if you are into that sort of thing. (http://thegraphicsfairy.com/resize-rotate-mirror-images/) I thought it looked easy to use, and I played around with it a bit. I don't know exactly how pixel size relates to printed dimensions, but I'll figure that out if/when I need it.maxanyamomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-82362330174484866522014-02-12T18:08:00.892-05:002014-02-12T18:08:00.892-05:00I was, just yesterday, explaining the concept of f...I was, just yesterday, explaining the concept of freezer paper stencils to some moms. I have had good luck with reusing the stencils (just wait till the paint dries of course). I just re-ironed the stencil onto another shirt. The hardest part for me is coming up with an idea for a stencil. I love your "real" heart. :-)Smoochesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-14119517872696259892014-02-11T15:28:27.205-05:002014-02-11T15:28:27.205-05:00I still remember when you posted Birdy's inte...I still remember when you posted Birdy's interesting valentines in '07.....http://benandbirdy.blogspot.com/2007/02/why-you-might-not-want-your-preschooler.htmlTina Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-83519899436566742462014-02-11T13:15:08.962-05:002014-02-11T13:15:08.962-05:00Awesome design.

But you were obviously reading my mind, because, wow, take it off while it's still wet! I see again how you like to live on the edge. And now, with your vast freezer-paper stencil experience, and your willingness to try crazy things (take it off before it's dry, you say?), we will all benefit. I might even be brave enough to give it another try myself. Although I've also been looking into something called adhesive flocking (there's definitely a joke in there somewhere). It's that slightly fuzzy fabric-y paper-y stuff that can be put on fabric instead of painting. It looks pretty neat-o.<br /><br />Lorencraftsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583285347680507970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-16877911418292985822014-02-10T20:36:17.208-05:002014-02-10T20:36:17.208-05:00What I love best about this (you know, besides eve...What I love best about this (you know, besides everything) is that I clicked your link to last year's Valentines day post (baby ben and birdy pictures!) and then clicked another link and before you know it, I was fully saturated.

Now I'd love to make a stenciled shirt, how awesome! It hadn't even occurred to me that plain acrylic paint would work on shirts, I have about 60 bottles of every color you can imagine because I have a very childlike love of (poorly) painting things. Do the shirts need any special care when washing, like don't put them in the dryer or something?<br /><br />Also, I basically read the entire post aloud to my husband because I thought it was so funny. He agreed :D <br /><br />Hopefully the kids will love their new shirts, I would!Shilohnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-17704997159621128632014-02-10T18:10:13.391-05:002014-02-10T18:10:13.391-05:00I want that shirt but I have no craft skills:-( Yo...I want that shirt but I have no craft skills:-( You lost me at owning an x-acto blade....)

I've never heat-set my paint, not out of rebellion, though. I just didn't know that was a thing. We paint shirts for the kids' birthdays every year, and letting them pick the picture is part of the fun. Well, except they start off by picking impossible pictures that would never translate to a stencil. We also paint with those dinky foam brushes that go on sale 20 for $1 at Michael's. They make it through a few shirts if you rinse them well. Also, instead of tracing, I tape the printed design onto the freezer paper, and cut out the shape through both layers of paper. I'm lazy. <br />Thanks as always for the inspiration!lastdogzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10718509254914982478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-6834939143786436352014-02-10T13:35:08.025-05:002014-02-10T13:35:08.025-05:00strangely, I didn't see this one in Family Fun...strangely, I didn't see this one in Family Fun this Feb... ; ) These are fantastic.
