This one was for my father-in-law's 60th birthday . . . I drew an abacus and cut it with my cricut on freezer paper. The orange paint looks quite neon in the picture but I promise it wasn't that bright.

freezer paper stenciling
It's always hard to think of something to do that's crafty for a guy. . . but I was able to come up with a couple freezer paper stencil ideas for my father-in-law and my brother-in-law.

This one I made for my brother-in-law for Christmas. It was tricky to draw a cassette tape and then try and make it not flat and boring. I'm impatient, so instead of waiting for the paint to dry so I could do the next color, I used my blow dryer to speed up the dry time (worked great!!)

I love them! Especially the cassette tape one. I have a really nice diaper cover for my son w/ tapes on it that I love too.
