A simple graphic sweater made with fabric paint!
A while ago I ran across this darling "Bonjour" sweater from Asos. I didn't want to fork over $60 for it, so with a cheap Forever 21 sweater and some black fabric paint, I recreated it for pennies on the dollar.

Step 1
Draw out the text on the non-waxy side of your freezer paper, as seen below in the next two photos.
Step 2
Carefully cut out your letters using sharp scissors or an exacto knife.
Step 3
Using a hot iron, iron the freezer paper to your sweater.
Step 4
Place a piece of cardboard inside your shirt to prevent paint seeping through, and then using a foam brush, dab your paint on to the stencil.
Step 5
Let the first coat dry for 10-15 minutes and then do a second coat to insure total coverage. Wait for the paint to dry completely and then carefully peel the stencil off. If your fabric paint requires a heat seal, do that now.
Step 6
And you're done!
