Bleached Out T-shirts

Here's what you'll need:
1 t-shirt
2 spray bottles
some bleach
some vinegar
newspaper or cardboard

Pour some bleach into one spray bottle and bleach into the other spray bottle.

I used my Silhouette to cut out the designs but you could also use things laying around the house or purchase the foam shapes with the adhesive back. I cut the out my shapes on cardstock and then used spray adhesive to stick the designs to the shirt. Place newspaper or cardboard in between the 2 layers so the bleach doesn't soak thru to the back.

Once you have placed your designs on shirt, spray the shirt with the bleach and wait until it reaches the desired look. This doesn't take very long - not more than 1 minute.

Spray the shirt with vinegar to stop the bleach's action.

Repeat on the back side if desired. Rinse with cold water and dry.
