How to use Renolds Freezer paper for felt applique:

I iron felt on a very low setting. Trace the design you want onto the dull side of freezer paper. Then roughly cut the piece out about 1/4″ from the line. Iron the freezer paper shiney side down onto the felt. This helps make your cutting more crisp. Then cut your piece and pull off the freezer paper and use it as you normally would.
