Pretty As A Picture

Freezer paper stencils are one of my favorite super-easy super-quick transformation crafts. We all know, by now, that my favorite crafts are ones I can do quickly! Screen printing makes a pretty big mess, and it doesn't make much sense to do all the prep work for just one print. On to the freezer paper stencils.

I loved a tunic from Mini Boden, but after weighing whether I wanted to pay $30 for it or try to recreate it... a trip to Target and one day later and I have something similar that I made!

I even cheated a little bit for this one. Usually if I'm doing freezer paper stencils, at least I want it to be my own design. But I thought this bow was so cute, I just printed out the picture, blew it up and traced it. So bad, I know. But it's cute, huh?

If you want to see the tunic, I fell in love with for Margot, it's here. Why don't they make this in adult sizes?

If you've never tried a freezer paper stencil, you totally should! Here's an easy tutorial on how it's done by one of my favorite bloggers, Amy Karol.

Another by the way, my vintage spool dolls are listed now on Etsy! You can see a preview on the column to the left, and click to view. Hope you like them!
