This summer, once a week, I plan a "special" craft for them to do beyond their buckets of crafts and ideas.
The project this week...freezer paper stenciling!
If you recall from this post, I recently freezer paper stenciled for the first time and loved it. It was easy enough so I thought it could be a blast for my 6 and 7 year old.
I picked up some cheap shirts at Walmart for $3.47 each. I already had the freezer paper and fabric paints.
The original plan was for the kids to draw out their design ideas on paper and then I would make them on the computer or "tweak" them a bit. But, I decided why "tweak" them or try to make them look "neater".
The girls each drew their design on the freezer paper. {They chose to make 4th of July designs}
I did the cutting out of the design as well as the prep work.
I gave them the quick "low down" on stenciling...set them up with paint and brushes...and let them go to town.
My opinion is that they turned out really cute {I especially like that they're very "kiddish"}.
They've already asked to do it again sometime.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by! I'd love for you to "follow" my blog along!
