I was recently given an AWESOME freezer stencil shirt with a stylish pair of raybans on it. I love the shirt and instantly felt it was necessary to make one! As it turns out about two months ago i purchased The Carnival of Madness concert tickets. (Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, 10 Years, Chevelle, and Sevendust) Shinedown happens to be one of my favorite bands and as i never have anything to wear as it is, I decided why not make a cool shirt with song lyrics from my favorite song? "Call Me" is by far my favorite song. (sample it on itunes if you're curious) and so i went with the first two lines "Wrap me in a bolt of lightning, send me on my way still smiling". I am in fact an avid user of the website picnik so i typed in my lyrics and chose a pretty cool font.
My friend Jen also thought it would be a cool idea to put a lightning bolt behind the words. Once again, i printed it off of picnik. :) After printing everything out, we traced it onto freezer paper.
Then the real fun began... NOT. You take an X-acto knife and cut out all the tiny letters. If i had thought about this better i probably would have chosen an easier font. After everything is cut out you simply iron on the paper and paint away. Luckily, i had Jen to help.
After painting let dry for 4 hours. and VOILA! Here's my finished product.
