I am working on a Christmas project and instead of buying holiday fabric, I am using stencils and Shiva oil sticks to create my own.
Here is my setup. I am using a red batik fabric, instead of a solid color fabric, to add more interest. I have this cheap plastic stencil that was in my stash. I rub my oil stick onto some freezer paper (after removing the "skin" that covers the oil stick). I use a stencil brush to pick up the color and rub it into the stencil openings. I go over the whole sheet once, then a second time to try to get into the details at the edges. I used a gold oil stick.
I am only doing a portion of the fabric as I am using it for a small project.
I think it will look great in the finished project. I have to wait two days for it to dry, then I can iron it or throw it in the dryer to heat set it.
