ok first post! here it goes!
Sep. 20th, 2005 11:29 pmokay, so i just made my first two stenciled shirts (YAY!) unfortunetly my scanner is broken so i cant post pics, but i had a question
so i made each one a different way, one with a freezer paper and one with a cardboard stencil. i found that the cardboard one was more durable and reusable and such, but it wasnt as presice, since it was only applied with tape and spray adhesive. and the freezer paper one worked really really well, but was a bitch to get off, and wasnt reuseable.
so after all that rambling, my question is:
is there a better way to secure a cardboard stencil to a t-shirt
or is there a more sturdy reusable type of freezer paper?
ps i love everybodys fabulous crafts on here, you girls are all so MAHVOLOUS DAHLING!
pss TIP: one should always wait for the textile adhesive overcoat to DRY before proceding to peel off the stencil, cuz otherwise it will peel all of the adhesive off cuz textile adhesive hates me. (thats just my theory :)
