Stencilled Tea Towels


I love a bit of freezer paper stenciling. I first had a go HERE for Fathers Day, and here we are again!!

This time I made some tea towels (I couldn't find what I wanted anywhere) from navy and white ticking and some plain old white twill. Take my word for it - a pattern is so much easier to work with!! It hides any imperfections

I got the freezer paper out for a house warming gift, and picked up some very cute coffee mugs at Kmart to go along with them.

Have you tried stenciling? What do you think? I'm considering making some plastic stencils for repeat use so you've made some of your own I'd love to hear about it!!
