A Little Winter Dress up for some Plain Jane Shirts

Give me a $3.00 turtle neck, some screen paint, freezer paper, and Christmas Cheer/Give a Hoot Cricut cartridges, and I call that a fun night!
Yea, I should probably get some friends or something. 
Since penguins are popular around our place in the last couple of weeks, Squiggy got herself a brand new navy blue penguin turtle neck. I did the designs small enough so that if she wears the turtle necks underneath a sleeveless dress the decal won't show, but I like the simplicity of it, and so does Squig!
This one reminds me of my Grandma. Every year she'd put out pink and only pink Christmas decorations. I kind of have a lame Christmas-color only policy with my decor, so it was fun making something Christmasy with pink in it too. 
Adeline got an icy blue doe turtleneck, and I'll admit this one's my favorite!


and baby brother gets a buck onesie to match big sister. My two little dears ;) awwwwwa

and because this moose is too cute to ignore, Gideon gets a moose too.

I did all of these using freezer paper stenciling and I used Simply Screen paint too.
I've used a lot of different fabric paints before, and I just find the screen paint lasts through the most washes.
Makes for a fun and easy way to dress up or personalize those plain shirts ya got lyin' around. 

Anyway, I've been grossly sick with pregnancy puking ALL weekend long. 
Seriously, it was some of those days where water wasn't even staying down.
So I'm praying for a better and even productive week.
I hope Monday's going well for ya'll. Have a good one! :)

New Shirts

Well I know one little girl, two baby boys, a daddy, and even a momma who all just got new shirts.
Kind of.
Some of them were old shirts with new things added to them.
See:
Just a hand-me-down shirt upgraded turtle style. 
This is my favorite out of all, but I'm saving it to show ya'll later. 

I did all of these this week using freezer paper stenciling. Surely everyone knows what it is and likely has seen 134 tutorials on the method. BUT
if you live under a rock
and you haven't
I've attached some instructions on the following pictures that you can enlarge and follow if you're looking for an EASY, cheap, and fun way to upcycle some clothes in your closet or even make a few cute gifts. 
I've been through a lot of fabric paint in the past, and here recently I've found my favorite!
Simply Screen
It's actually a screen printing ink/paint, but it's perfect for freezer paper stenciling. 
It's vibrant, and soft, and so pretty!
So yea, grab a couple of bottles and freezer paper next time your out, and go craaaaaazy!
