Freezer paper stenciling

I have a new favorite technique. Ever since I first heard of freezer paper, I've been wanting to try this stenciling technique, but I needed an excuse. It wasn't long before I had two.

Remember Hooty, the owl softie I made for Christmas gifts? Well, as I mentioned back then, Matt fell in love with the little guy and asked me to make a gray and blue Rice owl for his office. The owl's still in the works, but I decided I wanted to spruce him up a bit by adding the signature Rice "R" to his tummy. And it turned out great:

The other project is a tip jar cozy for my sister's new coffee shop, Stir Coffee in Dallas. I used the freezer paper to add the logo to one panel of the cozy:



I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how these projects come together, and I can't wait to bust out the freezer paper again.
