Hey crafty friends.
I finally got around to trying something I saw on Pinterest ages ago. (Instead of just hoarding the idea like I usually do.) And I'm so glad I took the plunge.
This was one project that was faster, easier, and had better results than I expected.
Not too shabby, I'd say, for $3.19 (plus tax) and 30-minutes of hands on work (plus another 20 mins. raiding my closet for stuff to play with)!
Here's the deal. If you've got a bleach pen, and some cotton blend tees ready for an update, you're all set for a simple craft.
You'll wanna put cardboard under the tee so the bleach doesn't seep through. Also, the "ink" bleeds quite a bit, so make sure you leave plenty of "white" space for parts you want to remain untouched.
Basically you just doodle a design. Let the bleach do its thing (for about an hour in the sun). (HAND WASH and dry your bleachy stuff separately before wearing, or throwing it in with other stuff.)
Then, TA DA!
You're ready to rock out your SUPER COOL (or fairly ridiculous, but perhaps adorable?) new look.
