Step 1
1. Pick a graphic or text that you want to make into a stencil. For this tutorial I've chosen the name of my favourite band, Jacks Mannequin (because I've wanted a Jack's tee forever!). Print off your image.
-
Step 2
Next, take your freezer paper and place over the top of your print out, waxy side down and trace your image. The freezer paper is going to act as the stencil.
-
Step 3
Once you have traced, cut out the lettering from the freezer paper with the craft knife. If you have a cutting board, grab that. If not, a chopping board or heavy old book will do.
-
Step 4Voila. A stencil! Now, iron the freezer paper onto your fabric shiny side down. Make sure the iron is on a medium temperature and that it is constantly moving over the stencil and fabric so it doesn't burn.
-
Step 5Now apply your paint. When applying, don't coat the brush with too much paint and dab the paint around so you don't flood the stencil. If your material is thin, place a piece of scrap card underneath so it doesn't mark any other material.
-
Step 6Leave for 10-15 minutes and then rip off the stencil. Leave to dry and when washing the garment, turn it inside out.

The freezer paper is just greaseproof paper but it's waxy on one side. It's american so when you buy it here it can be a little expensive but if you go here on ebay, you can get a good deal and it lasts ages :]
