All About Freezer Paper

(via makeit-loveit.com)

In my first post, I mentioned (and linked to) Reynolds freezer paper. What is this magical product, and why will I be using it for crafting?

Freezer paper is paper where one side has a plasticky coating. It was originally used for freezing meats, as the plastic side prevents freezer burn on whatever you wrap in it. The plastic side, also known as the shiny side, has another purpose. When you iron freezer paper, the plastic side will adhere to fabric! It sticks, but it can be repositioned if necessary. It is like the post-it note of the craft world, if all post-it notes were completely covered with that sticky stuff on one side :)

I'm not completely sure how I stumbled upon using freezer paper to make stencils, but I'm glad I did! I have not used this technique in quite some time, but I will show off the results of trying it again on this blog.
