You'll Need:
Pictures of your kids turned into stencils (see my other tutorial)
Freezer Paper
T-shirt (I used a Jerzeez from Target)
T-shirt Paint
Paint brush
Scissors
Iron & Ironing Board
I used the stencils I created and traced them onto the non-shiny side of the freezer paper.
I highly recommend cutting the paper to equal sizes like 4x6, it will help in lining up the silhouttes on the t-shirt.
I then cut out the faces of my children, starting by making a hole in the center and cutting out. My little Fiskar scissors are the best at detail cutting.
Then, iron the shiny side DOWN. Be careful to line up the pictures. Mine aren't lined up and are off a little, no one else notices but me...so its fine...except for OCD me. :)

Then put a strip of freezer paper between the front and back of the shirt on the inside, with the shiny side towards your ironed on stencils.
Time to paint! I bought the velveteen paint at Michaels and liked how it turned out, its not too stiff when it dries.
