Stencil Night
April 2nd, 2007 by Joy
I can’t believe it is almost time for the Cuirim Craft Fair. I am excited about it, altho i’ll be glad when it’s done. I have learned a lot about what to do and not to do when putting a Craft Fair together. I’m sure next time i’ll do things a little differently. It has been fun coming up with the little things.
We have been meeting every Thursday night to make more stuff for the Craft Fair. We recently did a stencil night. (big surprise I know!) I was so excited to teach the girls how to make the freezer paper stencils. We had some onsies and bibs to stencil. We practiced on some plain fabric first.
I think they are just as addicted as I am. I can’t wait to do it again with them. Thanks guys for a great time. You have been such a help with the craft fair stuff! muuuah!

Ooooooh! Craft fairs are so much fun! And so much fun to prepare for. I hope you enjoy it and sell lots.
) I have yet to jump on the freezer paper stenciling bandwagon. I’m a bit scared to because then I might love it too much and never find the time to do it all.

where did you find the plain onesies?

Ya know Joy, as much as I’ve seen and heard you talk about it, I haven’t done it yet. But I’m thinking it’s something I want to do, maybe even this week…we shall see…

try it! try it! try it! (chanting) you’ll LOOOVE IT. I think what I love about them most is that they are EASY & FAST!! in 30min or less you can have this great creation.
Krista, I get white onsies at Walmart and dye them with Rit dye. I love making up my own. Super fun.

So cute!! Can you reuse each stencil again, or is it a one use only kind of thing?

knittymama,
Unfortunatly you can only use these once. Which is cool cause it is one of a kind but, stinks if you want to do it again. You have to cut out a new one.. hope you try it sometime.
