I love working with freezer paper so much that I went to a restaurant supply store and bought a roll of it.
One of the things I like to do with it is textile design / surface design. We needed some new grocery totes, so I decided to make some. Harbor Freight Tools is a good place to get canvas drop cloths. Their drop cloths are made from polycotton. I only noticed this when I started working with it. I could not use my paint for 100% cotton. So I went with oil sticks. It is a good medium to use for this fabric.
I also needed to test the new stencils in our store. I do cut stencils by hand, but this time I used a Silhouette Cameo to cut the freezer paper. It did a good job. You can resize the design template to fit your your project. For the bags, I increased the size.
For the bow I simply blocked the stems with an old credit cards. I used stencil brushes for all the designs.
