big brother failures

I wanted to make the boys shirts that said 'big brother' so I found 2 new shirts for a discount and copied a pattern then used Char's tutorial found here.

And the results?
Huge FAIL! When Char suggests using a misting spray bottle, listen. All I could find was a straight spray stream one and it soaked under the freezer paper.

For attempt #2 I had a 40% off coupon for Michael's so I decided to try some fabric spray paint.

The result?
FAIL again! It's much clearer but some of the paint still leaked under the stencil. Maybe because it was quite cold outside when I did it? Not sure but the boys now have a new play shirt each now!

    might be pricier than freezer paper for all the supplies, but it looks really neat!
