Thanks for the great tips. I've done a bleached shirt before for my daughter's volleyball team, but I had big blots in it. It still turned out pretty good, but now I know how to stop the running. Thanks again😊
I’m so glad that your video popped up in my feed!! It’s the Fastest, Cheapest, Easiest DIY method that I’ve seen so far to make several tee shirts! 👚 👕 Thanks for sharing.🤗
The peroxide stops the bleaching. From our experience and research, if you don’t do this step, even if you wash it, the bleach will continue to work its way through the fabric and leave some holes.
@@StudioR12Stencils thank you that explains why my work shirts have holes where I got bleach for the sanitizer water on them unknowingly. If you do a peroxide bath after washing does it help?
Assumming you can create your own design with a Cricut, is this accurate? Thank you, as I continue to watch and learn this project I am interested in beginning. Respectfully, Diane Miles
Tried bleaching a stencil on a flannel shirt, doing just how you explained. It turned out as a bleached blob ???? So then I tried blotting the bleach on the stencil, not as bad but not good??? Watching you video it doesn't look hard, but I must be doing something wrong. Do bigger stencils work better??
Patty recommends a lighter application of the spritzing. You want it to be a mist, so you are not getting too much bleach on the fabric. You definitely did the right thing by blotting off. You can use an adhesive on the back of your stencil to help prevent the bleach from bleeding under. And we always recommend using a test surface, in this case fabric, until you are comfortable and happy with the results before you move on to your real surface or shirt.
What kind of shirt did you use? Just wondering since you said it was really soft. And thanks for the video, i just got into bleaching shirts but havent tried with a stencil yet. Now i cant wait to try :)
I use a basting spray and it works great. There are lots out there but my personal favourite is Odif 505 spray and fix temporary fabric adhesive because it doesn’t have a strong smell like some of the other brands.
That is going to be personal preference. You will start to see the bleach changing the color. If you want it subtle, you'll do less time. If you really want it to pop, you'll leave it longer before you soak it.
Have you had any issues with the strength of bleach causing holes in the fabric? We tried one that had a stronger bleach - maybe even 100% bleach - and it ended up looking like a moth got to it with all the holes.

What will happen if you don't do the peroxide bath in the shirts before washing with detergent?
The peroxide stops the bleaching. From our experience and research, if you don’t do this step, even if you wash it, the bleach will continue to work its way through the fabric and leave some holes.

@@StudioR12Stencilsya not true. Rinse and wash.

Hi! There are several people who make stencils with a Cricut.
Tried bleaching a stencil on a flannel shirt, doing just how you explained. It turned out as a bleached blob ???? So then I tried blotting the bleach on the stencil, not as bad but not good??? Watching you video it doesn't look hard, but I must be doing something wrong. Do bigger stencils work better??

Bro try to apply with a thin paint brush instead of spraying
What kind of shirt did you use? Just wondering since you said it was really soft. And thanks for the video, i just got into bleaching shirts but havent tried with a stencil yet. Now i cant wait to try :)
We are looking to see if we can find this in our order history!
@@StudioR12Stencils thank you so much :) it's so hard to find shirts that are super soft but also bleach correctly
Patty says the shirt was from Walmart. Be sure to get a cotton one.
@@StudioR12Stencils thank you!
What type shirt 100% cotton or polyester cotton???
You will want to use cotton fabric for bleaching.
❤🎉
How do you ensure the bleach doesn’t bleed under the stencil?
Practice. Make sure your spray bottle is gentle. Have something underneath so the bleach doesn't bleed through (mylar, shopping bag, etc.)
I use a basting spray and it works great. There are lots out there but my personal favourite is Odif 505 spray and fix temporary fabric adhesive because it doesn’t have a strong smell like some of the other brands.
what are you blotting before spraying the bleach?
Patty sprays the bleach, then blots the area to keep the bleach from running, then spray, and blot, etc. ☺
What paper are you using for the stencil?
They are mylar stencils. You can get them in our website studior12.com
How long do you need to let the bleach soak in?
That is going to be personal preference. You will start to see the bleach changing the color. If you want it subtle, you'll do less time. If you really want it to pop, you'll leave it longer before you soak it.
every time a do a shirt the bleach spreads under the stencil SMH how do you get the bleach to stay
Use a light amount of bleach - you can always add more if you need to, but it will keep the bleach from spreading.
Why 50 50 mix just curious I use 100%
Have you had any issues with the strength of bleach causing holes in the fabric? We tried one that had a stronger bleach - maybe even 100% bleach - and it ended up looking like a moth got to it with all the holes.
Can you do this with a sweatshirt? I have a small bleach stain on a pink sweatshirt I hope I can do something to hide it'
Absolutely! You'd follow the same tips.
Why is there no sound???? So frustrating
