Look what I was playing with last night. Wanna know how I did it? First you'll need freezer paper. Apparently you can get it all over the US but the only place I've found it in Ontario is at Metro grocery store. I ended up with a huge 50' roll for ~ $6. It's 18" wide so it's going to last me forever. You'll also need a piece of printer paper and some spray adhesive. I used a pre-washed painter's dropcloth for my fabric. Cut a piece of freezer paper to slightly larger than 8"x11". Take a plain piece of printer paper and spray glue it to the non-waxy side of the freezer paper. Trim the freezer paper down to size. Find an image that you like - I chose a postmark - and edit it however you wish. I changed the colour of mine to be a bit browner instead of pure black and I lightened it a bit so it would look faded on the material. Flip your image so it's backwards. Put your paper in the printer so that the image will be printed on the waxy side of the paper. Print your image. Lay out your fabric (or whatever surface you're transferring to) and moisten it a bit with water. I just took a wet washcloth and dabbed it all over the material, but a spray bottle would work too. I did read later that if you spray the fabric with hairspray before you wet it you'll get a better transfer with less running. I'm going to try that next time. Place your image face down and rub all over the back of the paper with a smooth object. Some tutorials say to use a spoon - I used the lid of the spray glue can and also an empty glass votive - 'cause I was too lazy to go downstairs and get a spoon. Make sure that you don't move the paper while you're rubbing the image or it will smudge. Lift the paper carefully and you should have an image that is right side around. On fabric it transfers a bit unevenly which is perfect - you want it to look old and worn. You can then take your damp cloth and wipe the freezer paper clean to be used again. Mine left some lines on the paper but they are permanent and won't transfer. I loved this so much that I did it again with a Kailua postmark and then with a "Paris" image. I had intended to make pillow covers with them, but now I'm thinking of recovering a foot stool I use all the time. The one limitation is that the material cannot be washed as is or the ink will come off. I've heard that if you wait 24 hours you can then wash it and it will only fade a little. I've also heard that you can iron it before you lift the paper (put a cloth in between the paper and the iron!) and that will set it. This was so easy that I had trouble making myself stop. Tom's going to come home one day and find graphics on everything. ~~~~~ I'm linking up here this week!

Freezer paper has been a kitchen staple for generations. Crafters, quilters and hobby enthusiasts are already aware that freezer paper has many more uses. The manufacturer brags about the additional uses RIGHT ON THE BOX! Here are 3 crafty ways to use freezer paper- 1. FABRIC TRANSFERS 2. CRAFT TEMPLATES 3. IRON-ON TRANSFERS *Always remember that freezer paper has 2 distinct sides to it, a dull side and a shiny side. When a HOT iron is applied directly to the shiny side it melts in to a glue type substance that will stick to your iron and make a mess. If this should happen take another sheet of freezer paper and fold it in half, the dull side facing out. Now run your sticky hot iron over the dull side of the freezer paper until the "gunk" is gone from your iron. Okay, let's get started! 1. FABRIC TRANSFERS- Use an 8 1/2"x11" piece of cardstock as a template and trace it several times on to the dull side of the freezer paper and cut them out. It's always good to make a bunch of templates at one time! Now you'll want to pick a fabric that you want to adhere the freezer paper to with a HOT DRY iron. Below are a few of the fabric choices I use all the time and they work GREAT! As you can see from the photo below, you'll want to spread your fabric out on to your ironing board and lay the freezer paper sheets on top of the fabric, shiny side down. Run a HOT DRY iron back and forth over the freezer paper until you can see that it has adhered to your fabric. Once you've let the sheets cool down, all that is left to do is cut the bonded freezer paper and fabric in to individual pieces of ready-to-use fabric transfer sheets! The fabric transfer sheets are ready to be used in your inkjet printer! I load one sheet at a time so there is less chance of them getting jammed. 2. CRAFT TEMPLATES The first thing you'll want to do is make your 8 1/2"x11" freezer paper templates, following the directions we outlined in making fabric transfer sheets. Again, it's always easier to make a bunch at a time. Place a sheet of cardstock together with a sheet of freezer paper, always making certain that the shiny side is facing towards the cardstock. Take your HOT DRY iron and run it back and forth over the dull side of the freezer paper making certain to press down firmly on the corners and along the sides. The bonded freezer paper and cardstock are now ready-to-use craft template sheets. Run your craft template sheet through your inkjet printer and cut out the template piece. Once printed on, your craft template needs to be separated from the cardstock. To do this, take a DRY HOT iron and run it over your printed template. The glue will heat up and allow you to pull the bonded papers apart. (Do this while the paper is HOT) After you have pulled your freezer paper template away from the cardstock, you can iron it to your fabric. Place your craft template shiny side down on to your fabric. With a HOT DRY iron go back and forth over the freezer paper, the craft template will stick to your fabric and allow you to cut it out with precision. Remember, freezer paper craft templates are reusable. 3. IRON ON TRANSFERS By now you know how to trace and cut out the freezer paper in to 8 1/2"x11" sheets. What is different with this technique is that you will use a glue stick to glue the freezer paper, dull side down to a sheet of cardstock. Yup, for the iron on transfer technique, the shiny side will be facing UP! You now have ready-to-use iron on transfer sheets! It's that easy Once you print on to the transfer sheet, be careful. The ink is sitting on top of the shiny slick surface of the freezer paper and is wet. Handle with care! You will need to work pretty quick. You don't want to risk either smudging your wet transfer or having it air dry. Place your transfer wet side down on to your fabric. I use a HOT DRY iron (where have we heard this before) to transfer the image. The iron will allow for the most available ink to transfer to your fabric. DO NOT run your iron in a back and forth motion, but rather press down, lift, and move your iron to another spot and repeat until you are satisfied with the image quality. Freezer paper iron on transfers are for when you want a slightly lighter more distressed fabric transfer effect. There you have it! 3 crafty ways to use freezer paper for- 1. FABRIC TRANSFERS 2. CRAFT TEMPLATES 3. IRON-ON TRANSFERS I hope you'll try one or more freezer paper techniques and let me know what you think! Come back soon- Pam
