How to do deisgns on clothes using freezer paper?

I'm sure this has been discussed on here 1000x, sorry I've never paid attention.  How do you do this?  I was looking around online at halloween costumes (DS1 hates traditional costumes and likes the PJ's that look like costumes).  Anyway long story short I thought it might be better to just make his PJ costume instead of buying it.  Is it possible to do slightly elaborate designs (he wants a skeleton, so the whole rib cage is what I'm wondering about).  TIA.

  • I use my cricut and sure cuts a lot to design the shirts/ onesies that I've made.  I'm not good at cutting things out cleanly so this is the only way I can make them look not homemade.

    Do you put freezer paper through the Cricut? If yes do you know the settings you use? I am still learning with mine and can use all the tips I can get for settings.

    TIA

  • I do! i put it through on the mat of course.  I use a lighter setting, not deep (can't remember which one but I'll check later) and a fairly fast speed. It took some trial and error. When I had it cutting too deep it would tear the paper and when it was too fast it tore as well.  make sure you use a sticky mat!

     

    I am hoping to make a few tonight so I'll check the settings then!

  • i checked. I have it on 2 and 2 although I changed it to the slowest speed and that worked for some things that were more intricate.  the smaller details the tougher it is.  luckily freezer paper is cheap!!!!

  • If you have a new mat on your cricut you can put the freezer paper shiny side down and not mess with flipping words.  I typically put all my settings on 3 and have good luck with that.

  • Goo point! Forgot to say shiny side down! The shiny side has to be against the fabric for it to stink!
