Bleach Pen Tee

I have always been fascinated with the bleach pen tutorials out there, but never confident enough to actually try one. After accidently splashing some bleach on one of my favorite shirts I decided to throw caution to the wind and just go for it. What did I have to lose anyway right. The shirt was all ready ruined. The finished product wasn’t so bad for my first time.

Next time I will do a few things differently though like:

• Not going back over my lines more than once. The lines end up not being as clean. Once is good enough.
• Having a lighter hand helps
• I will draw out my picture with chalk instead of just winging it, to make sure everything is placed where I want it.
• Rinse bleach out quicker so fabric doesn’t become thinner in saturated bleach spots. It doesn’t have to sit very long.

Be warned this project is addicting with its instant gratification and the plus of  having a one of a kind item to enhance your wardrobe. Not to mention taking something destine for the trash and making it usable again. It makes my little eco loving heart happy. So if you are like me and secretly wanting to give this project a go, but afraid your artistic skills are not up for the challenge. Just try it you might be surprised at how easy it really is!
