I'm sure that freezer paper is useful in the kitchen, but I love it in the craft room! Today I've got two freezer paper techniques for you.
In case you don't know what freezer paper is, it's a "thick paper with a plastic or wax coating on one side. It differs from parchment, which has no coating, and wax paper, which has a coating on both sides." (from the kitchn blog). I know freezer paper from the quilting world where it is often used to create stencils. You can melt the wax coating with a hot iron to create a temporary (and non-damaging) bond with fabric.
I've cut many freezer paper stencils by hand over the years and I wasn't sure if the ScanNCut would have a delicate enough touch with this thin paper, but it did! Check out how easy it is to create a freezer paper stencil using your ScanNCut:
And now a super cool technique that makes cutting fabric without a high tack fabric support sheet or a fabric blade possible! Seriously. It's like magic! (And perfect for the casual fabric cutter.)
Check it out:
What do you do with freezer paper in your craft life? I'd love to know!
Thanks for stopping by!

Julie, I love using freezer paper as stencils on fabric. I used it with my Portrait before I invested in my Scan and Cut. I love how it sticks to the fabric and can be used again. The only caution I have is make sure you put the stencil shiny side down as you mentioned. If you mess up and put the paper side down and start to iron the shiny side, you’ll be cleaning off your iron for awhile!

Many a time I’ve hand cut freezer paper to make stencils for intricate designs on T-shirts AND on aprons…. it’s TIME I let my Scan N Cut do the heavy lifting!

I wonder if you could fuse your fabric and before removing the fusible paper – cut it and then remove? If it will do that, a scanncut will be perfect for me and well worth the investment.

It also can be used to mask an area and I have heard about people using it to put fabric through the ink jet printer. I even have a package of it cut to 8.5 x 11. Can’t remember why I got that!!! Probably to put fabric in the printer LOL

Hi Julie,
this is a fabulous technique. I have some quilting I will be doing in the future. I have some designs I was going to paint on by hand. This is a much better and faster way to do my designs.
Now I understand why wax paper would not work. It is waxed on both sides.
I have been doing some abstract drawings and for now using markers. That is all your inspiration. I used my scan n cut to draw out some of the basic shapes square and rectangle shapes.
I then had some negative cuts from some designs I cut out with my scan n cut and used them as stencils to fill in the square and rectangle shapes.
It is very different and very New age style.
I found a shape of a Goddess and worked it out in Scan n Cut canvas. I welded the hands together used more shapes. Then used the text tool and fill to write out my caption.
Right now it reminds me of the zodiac sign Gemini. I call it Double Goddess Blessings.
I will either use water colors or markers or both to complete it. Again Julie your inspiration. Thank you for all you do.
Happy Wednesday,
Fawna

Yea, even if you use fusible on the back and freezer paper on the front, I think it would make cutting fabric easier, as the freezer paper makes a smooth surface for the blade to move over. This may solve some of my fabric cutting issues. Thanls a lot!!
