I came up with a brilliant idea for a Harry Potter t-shirt and I couldn't resist. "Expecto Patronum! " However, you can make whatever kind of design you want with a freezer paper stencil. It doesn't have to be Harry Potter related. (Although it would be awesome if it was.) I learned about the joys of freezer paper back in my early college days. Basically, freezer paper is backed with a plastic coating that will stick to soft surfaces when ironed, but it peels off cleanly and easily.
To make a sweet t-shirt you will need: paper & pencil a t-shirt an iron a piece of cardboard or poster board fabric paint & brush Start by drawing your design on some regular old paper. My design kept getting bigger, so I taped two sheets together. Next, place your design underneath a sheet of freezer paper and trace it neatly with a sharpie.

The girls started off by dripping and brushing rubber cement all over a canvas When the rubber cement was dry I placed a few coffee filters on the canvas we dripped food coloring onto the filters then sprayed them with water until the edges began to fall (It doesn't take much water for that to happen) When the coffee filters are dry their edges will be pulled off the canvas and they should be easily removed.

The first thing that I did was cut the 2×12’s, 2×8’s (for the breadboards), and 4×4’s to length.
Once I dry-fit it together, I went back and tweaked it some more to make it more subtle. To complete the base, I needed to cut, distress, stain, and use the Kreg jig to drill holes, for the side aprons and end aprons. I then attached the bread boards using all my clamps. Here’s how the extensions work: Starburst Twig Wreath. Bookbinding Tutorial by ~JamesDarrow.
