    Funny thing years ago I found some bleach spots on one of my favorite tops so instead of getting bummed I took a q-tip with some bleach and made them into flowers then carried it over much of the top. I wore that top until it was thread bare. I think if you’re going to spray sprinkles over the shirts it would be nice to also carry the design over it so it looks intentionally unintentional:) for example maybe put a flower on the front pocket of a shirt you put a flower stencil on the back of or carry some parts of the stencil over part of the shoulder or down the arm then someone isn’t seeing bleach splotches in the front that maybe never sees the beautiful print on the back. Just some thoughts to your fun project.

    You can spray hairspray on the back of the stencil to help the stencil stay in place and not bleed on the stencil design

    I have been around long enough to see the bleach trend come & go several times, however, I have to say this particular method of application is brilliant! LOVE it!! Hmm....... I see a crafting afternoon with my grandchildren coming up (they are teens!!) thank you so much for sharing!!

    Use spray quilt basting spray on the stencil to hold it in place and use a spray mister for a controlled Mist. Works beautifully.

    These look cool! I like them without the distressing too. I’m wondering about the way bleach eats through fabric. Won’t there be holes after a few washings? Or did you neutralize the bleach somehow?

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  3 роки тому +6

      We washed them right away with an extra rinse and got all the bleach out

    • @dinabaughman8731
      @dinabaughman8731 3 роки тому +6

      You can soak them in peroxide before you wash them. It will neutralize the bleach.

    • @JamiRayVintage

      Be sure to neutralize the bleach. 1 part peroxide to ten parts water. Once it looks the way you want neutralize it

    Liked the video I use Hydrogen peroxide to stop the bleach that’s the only thing that will stop it I did several shirts that I can figure out why they kept getting lighter and lighter and that was a reason, found out that hydrogen peroxide interacts with the bleach and stop it. I put bottle of how peroxide and a gallon of cold water and dump the shirt. I did one shirt and didn’t know how to stop the bleach at that time and it ate a hole in the shirt.

    Ohmygoodness back in the 70s in Girl Scouts we did something very similar to one of our dad's work shirts and we wore them to a huge swap meet. We thought we were so groovy! We used bleach, qtips, and rubber bands for a tie dye effect. Back then we had to save the rubber bands off the newspaper. So fun! Y'all did a great job!!!

    My 2 cents: do some w paint rather than bleach (I know, it's the trend) and raise back stencil a bit higher. Your logo would look great on these as well! Ps. Rinse the bleach from the bottles after use--or it's one time use.
