it's a freezer paper stenciled shirt made using more than two fabric paints. it was really tricky to do this! and if i had started making this earlier, i probably would have had more time to allow the colors to dry before i went on to the next color. i tried to dry the paints with my blow dryer, but it didn't work too well. so if you zoom into the picture you can see all the imperfections. still, i like it and it's wonkiness. it definately has a handmade look to it and i think it makes it that more special. besides, i'm sure the birthday girl will like it, and won't notice those imperfections.
here is another freezer paper stenciled shirt. i hadn't thought out how i would embellish this shirt and since i already had all my materials for stencilling, i decided to look for a stencil online. i found this stencil design at stencilry. it's a website that offers free stencil designs and they have tons of cool ones that i would like to try out in the future! surprisingly, it took me less time to do this one, considering that i didn't have a stencil to begin with. i was able to quickly cut out my stencil and since i was only using one color, the application process was really easy. i thought this design was a good idea because she could use it for valentine's day and and anytime throughout the year.
and last but certainly not least, i'm making her a bunny pillow using missy balance's pattern from her blog crafty carnival. i'm still not done with it, which explains the lack of pictures. the picture above is of the back of the pillow. i wanted to embroider those words onto it, but again, because of lack of time, i decided to stamp the words using my letter stamps and the left over fabric paint from the stenciled shirt above.
she's a sweet little girl and i hope she likes what i made for her. her birthday is this sunday, so i'll try to post pics of the completed pillow and of the birthday girl with her presents, if i can remember!
