T-Shirt DIYs for Back To School

PaintedR2D2TShirt

Back to school time doesn’t have to suck.  Make your own (or someone else’s) wardrobe super cool with these fantastic T-shirt ideas from Natalie over at Doodlecraft.  She uses freezer paper to make stencils and paint designs onto t-shirts.  You can download some of the designs she features on her blog, but it wouldn’t take much to come up with your own.  Once you have your design, you can make a stencil out of freezer paper (either with a cutting machine or with a little elbow grease and an exacto knife). The cool thing about freezer paper is that you can iron it onto fabric and it sticks into place, making it the perfect stencil.  Once your design is painted on and dry, you simply peel off the freezer paper and your custom t-shirt is ready to go.  The blog post takes you step-by-step through the process, complete with awesome pictures.

What designs would you want to make for your own back-to-school wardrobe?
