I am trying to gather a list of Techniques and Tips for using Freezer Paper, please feel free to add yours and any links to cards in gallerys, hope this is OK with SCS, as i am fairly new to all this, TIA!
My favorite is to take tissue paper (like you use for wrapping presents, not the kind for blowing your nose) - stamp a design on it if you want, crumple it up real tight and then kind of smooth it out and then iron it on to the plastic (shiny) side of the freezer paper. It makes a really neat decorative paper that's heavy-duty enough to use for envelopes.

Freezer paper is on a roll like wax or parchment paper. It's paper on one side an shiny on the other. It is used to wrap meat in and then freeze it. My Aunt and Uncle used to have a dairy farm and I can remember them wrapping the "sides of beef" in freezer paper. We have a local meat market that wraps your purchase in freezer paper. I have wads of it as I use it for my paint when tole painting. It's perfect, you can just toss it when you're donel
When you want to stamp or paint on t-shirts, turn the shirt inside out and iron the freezer paper onto the shirt. Dull side down. Turn shirt inside out, paint, decorate or whatever and when the paint is dry, turn shirt inside out and peel the freezer paper off. It keeps the paint from bleeding through the shirt! Enjoy!
