Hi, I love your tutorial! It’s descriptive and the best one I’ve seen! I was wondering if this would work if i made a stencil and put the bleach in a spray bottle?

I am having issues with the bleach going under the letters, even though they are firmly stuck to the fabric…any hints or suggestions?

I have made some of these bleached t’s! I’m on my third shirt and now I’m using some cool tribal animal prints to make some for my boys! It’s quite addicting!

Just finished making these as Hanukah for my nieces and nephews. I actually recommend not washing them first. Having the sizing on there to give you a lot more control even though it takes longer for the color to fade. My first (pre-washed) batch was a complete fail because the bleach so quickly seeped right under the vinyl designs. thanks for another great idea Gabby!

Instead of using a rag to dab the bleach on, I would suggest using a spray bottle with diluted bleach. In the very least it can add a speckled look if you ever need it. That’s what I do whenever I bleach shirts

Have you tried using rubber stamps? Wonder what we could use as ‘resist’ that bleach wouldn’t bleed through. Perhaps a water based glue that would wash out after the bleaching process was complete.

I love this. I was actually thinking this would be a great summer project and an awesome way to recycle the tees the kids have gotten those little oily stains on. I want to try to do a fairy design for my daughter and drum sticks for my son….

I know this question was asked a year ago, but for anyone else looking, try American Apparel!

Thanks for this. I have just made a Christmas tshirt for my 6 year old. He is going to love it. (he celebrates Christmas all year round and it will get plenty of wear.)

Does anyone know – would it work if you tie-dye shirts and then bleach on top of the tie-dye? I have a camo tie-dye in mind and then bleaching on an image or wording for my son’s scout troop. Would love any input.

Can you please tell me what font you used for the Camp Half Blood shirts? My son saw these and wants to make them for he and his best friend (who happens to be moving soon). I’ve tried to locate font myself but nothing is looking quite right. Thanks!!!!

I ran across this posting before Christmas and being on a VERY tight budget this year, I KNEW I had to give this a try. I found my shirts at Michaels, and the 12 month at Walmart in the kids section. Cut 4-wheelers with a saying for the boys and pretty butterflies for my niece out of contact paper I had on hand with a Cricut. Had SO much fun doing this with a friend. Only had problems with one, and my niece LOVED it anyway. THANKS for the wonderful idea and tutorial.

Thank you for the inspiration. I just had my kids (5, 5, and 4) make a couple of shirts using this method for their father for Christmas. They look awesome. I can’t wait for him to see them!
