The kids and I made another t-shirt for Father’s Day. Instead of decorating the shirt free hand like last year’s t-shirt, I learned a new technique and I’m quite pleased with the result. I used the freezer paper t-shirt technique. In short, the directions are:

1. Design and draw a picture or words on the paper side of the freezer paper.
2. Use an X-acto knife to cut out the picture.
3. Iron the pattern onto the shirt.
4. Use fabric paint to stencil the pattern.
5. After it’s dried, peel off the freezer paper.

For those who are interested in designing your own shirt, here is a great freezer paper tutorial.

Here’s one proud daddy wearing the shirt. He’s indeed a Super Dad!

In addition, Matthew wrote a note to his beloved daddy all on his own without me prompting him. He sure loves his daddy.
