Freezer Paper Twilight T-Shirt

So for Halloween I'm taking the easy way out this year. I didn't feel like spending a bunch of money on a costume. And you all know i'm obsessed with Twilight. So I wanted to be a vampire baseball player. I got to looking online for a tshirt kind like this one but they were all too expensive. So I suddenly remembered that I'd seen a tutorial on how to use freezer paper and the cricut to make a custom shirt. So now I'm addicted to this new way to use my Circut. I was so impressed with the way the first one came out that I'm dying to try it again. I think next I'm going to make a christmas shirt for my son.

I started by cutting a 6" circle on freezer paper. Then I ironed the negative part and painted a white circle. Then when that was dry I painted on my stitches by hand using a pencil (to sketch it) then a small paintbrush. Then I put the "Cullen" on top. The collegiate font that I used was a little tricky to iron on. I had to position the pieces just right, but the end result was way worth the effort! Next I put "Baseball" on the bottom. And last I put "Vampire across the ball. It was the hardest part. I had a hard time getting the freezer paper to stick to the painted circle. It didn't adhere perfectly in some places so I had to use a paintbrush to do some touching up. But I am so pleased with the way it turned out. I think I might make another to sell in my Etsy store.
