Freezer paper can be used as a low-tech screen-printing method. Basically one-sided wax paper, freezer paper can be ironed to fabric (without damaging the iron) and then later peeled off, cleanly and easily. It makes a great quick, low cost stencil.
This is the stencil that I created for a Doctor Who-themed t-shirt. With separate photos of the Doctor, the TARDIS, and K-9 from the internet, I used Photoshop to strip each image down to a silhouette, then combined them and washed-out any areas of overlap. Once this image was printed, I traced the outlines onto the semi-transparent freezer paper and cut out areas that I wanted painted with an Xacto knife. The freezer paper was then ironed onto a t-shirt and painted over. Once the paint was dry, the paper was peeled off, revealing the design below:
