Spiderman and Freezer Paper

Nate has a good friend from school named Tommy.  Tommy loves Spiderman.  In October, Tommy had a birthday party to which Nate was invited.  Unfortunately, I ended up in the Emergency Room due to a herniated disk, and Nate missed the birthday party.  Back to the point... We decided to do some freezer paper stenciling to make a Spiderman shirt for Tommy.  It turned out to be a lot more difficult than I had first anticipated because unlike in the shirt below, I connected all of the threads in the web.  That led to a puzzle of spiderweb pieces to piece together on the shirt after I had cut everything out of the freezer paper.  I got it done and it looked wonderful, but it was too much effort.  Nate, however, loved the shirt.  So I needed to make him one as well. :)  Luckily, I learned my lesson from the first one and drew the spiderweb threads so that they were close, but not connected to each other.  You can see the end product below.  Nate loves it, and that's all that matters to me.
