Freezer paper savām rokām

Daudzos ārzemju blogu darbiņos izmanto t.s. "freezer paper". Tā kā neesmu tādu nekur manījusi (patiesībā neesmu nemaz dikti meklējusi, līdz ar to, gan jau kancelejas preču veikalos ir kas līdzīgs), izdomāju, ka uztaisīšu to pati.

Izdrukāju no interneta dažus interesantus šablonus, ko varētu uzkrāsot uz kāda apģērba gabala. Un tad nu lūk:

1) Uz izdrukātās lapas aizmugures uzklājam parasto pārtikas plēvi (var izmantot arī plānos plastmasas maisiņus).

2) Pa virsu plēvei uzklājam kokvilnas audumu un ar gludekli vienmērīgi nogludinām. Pārāk aizrauties nevajag, tad pārtikas plēve, būdama diezgan paplāna, var sakust.

3) Pēc tam mazliet jāpadzesē nogludinātais materiāls un lēnām audums "jānoplēš" nost. Plēve nu ir pielipusi pie papīra. Liekās plēves maliņas jānogriež, tas gan man tik viegli neizdevās, bet nu vajadzētu. :)

 

Tagad nu attiecīgo šablonu var izgriezt. Protams pats jau arī var uzzīmēt, ko tik sirds vēlas... :)

 

Izgriezto šablonu nu varam gludināt virsū attiecīgam apģērba gabalam.  Uzliekam šablonu (ar plēves pusi uz leju), pāri pārliekam atkal kokvilnas lupatiņu, lai gludeklis netrāpa nenogrieztajai plēvei. Tad gan gludeklim varētu būt čušs... :)) Kārtīgi piegludinam pie apģērba. Atkal pagaidam, kad atdziest un "noplēšam" uzklāto lupatiņu nost.

 

Nu šablons ir pie apģērba. Tā kā mans zaķis bij printēts, tad toneris piegludinājās bik pie uzklātās lupatiņas un mainot tās vietu, man radās smērējumi. Bet par to satraukties nevajag, tas izmazgājas. :))

Tagad varam krāsot!

 

Izmantoju Tiimari nopērkamu auduma krāsu. Krāsu vēlams klāt vairākās kārtās ar ~ 2h starplaiku, kamēr iepriekšējā kārta nožūst.

Es bodija iekšpusē ieliku papīra lapu, lai nu katram gadījumam krāsa neizspiežas cauri un nenokrāso bodija aizmuguri.

 

Pēc otrās kārtas uzlikšanas (man likās, ka pietiek ar 2x :)), atstāju uz nakti kārtīgi nožūt. Tad lēnām un uzmanīgi noplēsu šablonu (ar visu plēvi!) no bodija. Uzklāju atkal auduma lupatiņu un pamatīgi nogludināju zīmējumu, lai mazgājot tas neizgaist.

Tad nu "jaunais" bodijs ar zaķi gatavs! :)

Today was my boys first day back to school. They started on a Friday?!? We lucked out with awesome teachers this year! The boys are always wanting to sew & do crafts with me so we decided to do some bleached shirts. I had them each pick out two plain shirts from their closets. We then googled different silhouette images of things they liked & they each picked out two. I traced the image outlines onto freezer paper. We decided to do three with soft scrub with bleach & three like these at under the sycamore. So when I cut out the images I had to keep in mind which way I was doing each image. The soft scrub ones I needed to keep the negative pieces & the spray bleach ones I need to keep the positive pieces. On the Dr. Who space machine (Tartus?) image I put x's on the pieces I needed to iron on so I wouldn't get mixed up. If you have boys that are into all things strange check out the new Dr. Who, my boys LOVE IT! Next iron on all your pieces & keep the shirts flat so the edges of the freezer paper don't peel. For the soft scrub shirts put a piece of cardboard in between the shirt underneath the image. Dab on soft scrub over the image (I just used a paper towel, but you could use a white washcloth). Let sit for 5 minutes then rinse off very well & peel off the freezer paper. For the other shirts I just used Ashley Ann's instructions except that I didn't use the cardboard and I used a hanger & hung them by my dead tree (I'm not sure if bleach can harm trees or not). I did one shirt at a time so I could supervise my boys better. The first two the bleach soaked through the freezer paper and so I colored in the edges with colored sharpies. The last one I had my son spray it first telling him to try to not hit the freezer paper. Then after he was done a lightly misted around the image. That way the bleach didn't have as long to soak through the paper. This shirt turned out perfect. On the spray bleach shirts I only left them in the sun 2-3 minutes before I rinsed them off. I washed all the shirts with the extra rinse cycle right after we were done too.

I've officially (mentally) moved on to fall! It's my favorite season and WAY too short, so I've decided that in my mind it is now fall and I can surround myself with the smells and colors to reinforce it. Halloween is my absolute FAVORITE holiday EVER.  I'm loving these Mary Janes as house shoes.  I'm home with the kids all day anyway, so I don't need shoes on, but these are so much fun they make me feel special.

Tip- If you make shoes like this (for yourself or your little ones) use some puffy paint on the bottoms to create a non slip surface.  You can do simple dots or get creative and write things.  I thought using glow in the dark paint and writing "BOO" on the bottoms of these would be really cute!
