I used dishwasher soap with bleach my denim jacket because I didn’t have bleach on hand, and it worked excellently. Just put a full bottle of dishwasher liquid in a container, with approx a tea pitcher of hot water and let sit in the sun for about three hours, moving around with gloved hand ever 1/2 hour to one hour. Rinse very very well in hot water and then cold and machine wash. Perfect.
Yay for Alli Crafts! 👏 Diggin’ the way this turned out after the bleach. I actually have a denim jacket that could use a facelift... Thanks for the inspiration!! ❤️
Yay! The best part about denim is how resilient it is, we can keep crafting it when it needs a facelift. And ifthe fit it great, we can just customize it, let me know how it turns out
Alli I am enjoyong your new and older craft videos. Have you ever tried this cake stand craft? Buy a pretty wine goblet at Goodwill. Turn it upside down.Also buy a pretty plate.Use glass glue to attach the plate to the bottom of the goblet. Voila! I hope I explained it well but I think you get the idea. I have been watching Ralli Roots for several years. I am not a reseller. You and Ryan are a great looking couple!
Hey Edith, I've seen that done before, super cute and cheap cake stand but also completely customizable for any occasion! Such a great idea. Also, you're too kind! I appreciate your kind words☺
AHhh so true! The camera memory card was full! Wah, so I just sprayed it like my last shirt. It also took 5 hours to lighten.....super weird. I think the battery wouldn't have survived it. Thanks for being awesome! Starting a youtube channel takes some dedication. Not enough hours in the day
Awesome, very helpful! You should make a video on how you bleached it afterwards 😁also, If you dye something you are going to resell, do you put that it’s dyed in the description?
I know! I ran out of space on the memory card and the bleach took hours to lighten. If we dyed something for reselling it, I suppose it would only be fair to disclose that. Although if we just re-dyed black denim black again, I don't know if we would but probably would put it in the description? What would you do? Maybe putting custom dyed somewhere so it sounded fancy :P
Hey Alli, MORE AWESOMENESS!! Just wondering about the "spraying the bleach" Is it pure bleach?? 1 to 1 ratio?? After u spray it & it lightens, do u wash it again to neutralize it?? Thxs U ROCK!! 🤗
I try to always do a 1 to 1 ratio just in case it sits a little to long, good point. I definitely should have mentioned that! And definitely wash it after to neutralize it
I have an old denim jacket that I want to give new life with this method, but it has a huge custom art piece on the back that was painted on with acrylic paint. Do you think the dye will ruin the artwork?
Allie, you may never see this newer comment but, I just subscribed! Been watching Ralli Roots for some time and just saw the video from today(12-29-20)and thought I'd come over here and check you out. Best to you!
Hey Neville, I'll be doing loads of other crafts soon. We're just trying to balance work and life lol. Editing takes me a long time so for the sake of a quality video while I get accustomed to the new tech, I'm making a bit simpler videos before the cool complicated ones. But hopefully I'll get around to making a address planter in the next few months.
Great Video! also the previous how to distress a T-shirt video. How about a how to distress jeans video? ya know, if you're into that kind of thing..LOL. Found you via your and ryan's Rallie Roots channel, I've been watching you guys for about a month, been ebaying 2-3 months. I had to quit my previous work due to injury and illness, you guys have helped me so much through your videos!
Haha, Ryans brother loved it too. That blue isn't me, I kind of wished I made it crazy colored but there's always next time. OI could wear it a few times and then change it up, that denim is resilient.
I'm really enjoying your videos. I played all 3 twice. Once for me and then my mom watched them. More play time for you. ;) Hope you make more soon. More videos, more views, more fun...Ness. lol You can do iiiit! :D
Oh yes! I just need to know how to do it! I am dying for this tye dye jacket at AE, but I am too cheap to buy it and want to make my own! #thrifterproblems
I honestly dont think thats very possible because dye is liquid and will soak through all of the fabric even if its not submerged but if a gel exists then potentially it's a possibility. But I'm no dye expert so maybe someone out there has discovered a way
Alli Crafts what if I covered the sharpa or will it still dye it threw the jacket? 😭 I wanted to use it for a cosplay and at my job we only have one and it’s a light blue and it needs to be a dark blue... I wonder if I just dirty my jacket for the cosplay it will be enough 🤔
@@Glennsgreenballoons Actually, have you considered fabric paint? If its a light blue and you want it to be a dark blue, I think fabric paint would be pretty successful. It just has to be painted on in thin layers so the fabric doesn't become hard
This is how I am going to make Trunk's Jacket for this Halloween, thank you so much video from 6 years ago :)
Oh yay I'm glad it helped! lol
Girl, that's so 70's. You have a lovely "old soul" spirit!!
I've always had an old soul, even as a child. My mom always said so :)

That's incredible!
"It was so blue, I absolutely hated it... and I'm gonna bleach it!"
That is a mood.
hahahaha
I'm happy to see you doing these videos and having your channel. I love your suggestions on Ralli Roots for sprucing up thrift/garage sale items.
Super helpful video Alli! I had no idea how to do this!
Yay thank you! And if you have some faded black jeans you love, always an option ;P
Yay for Alli Crafts! 👏

And thank you for watching :)
Great video. I love the way it turned out.
Thank you!
You got a thumbs up solely on the Dragon Ball swag. But the dying tips were good, too.
Haha thanks! I'm all for everything DBZ!
Great video again Lady 😍 wish you also recorded the bleaching in the end 😉 i just love to see that too 😃 keep it up! 😘

Up Alli's , alley. Great play on words.
Why Thank you very much kind sirrr, you are a scholar and a gentleman :P. And one of our favorites. Definitely in my top 5
These are fun! Would love to see more! I know you are busy but maybe bi-weekly or monthly...
Subscriber number 996! Wandered over here from Ralli Roots. Love to thrift/ebay, and love to craft!
Aww thank you! When I heel from my fall I'm going to make some thrifted crafts :)
Lol I like the royal blue color!
Lol I wish I did too but that color unfortunately did not coordinate with all of my other items I wanted to pair the jacket with
Hey there... I would like to try it... But does it affected the stitches original colour ?
For me it did not but I can't speak for all stitches lol
💜 you Ali. Great video. I’ve been wanting to do some tie dying. Could you do a video on how to do it?
I'd love to make some tie-dye shorts or a tank!

Love this and it look pretty easy to do, I might just try this!
Thanks Faye, I hope you love your end result, I just HATED the blue for myself lol. Callie said she laughed so hard, but now I love the bleach look.
Great video. ❤
Would love a video on making distressed shorts from old jeans.
Great Job Alli! Keep the Videos coming and Always THUMBS UP! Hello Ryan and Callie!
Thanks Eric! I appreciate that

Aww thank you!!! Its been seen AND appreciated!
Hi,
Are you only going to be working on clothing items or other things as well ?
Cheers.

How did u keep the color from staining other parts thats not blue?
Dopeeee soooo 90’s awesome 👏 job 👏🔥🔥🔥
You da bomb, now make a funny vid for us to watch soon!!

I actually want to try with some light and white denim!
l loved the blue. I'm 80"s! lol
Haha, Ryans brother loved it too. That blue isn't me, I kind of wished I made it crazy colored but there's always next time. OI could wear it a few times and then change it up, that denim is resilient.
I would love to see some tie dye denim shorts
I definitely want to tie dye some clothing item but I'm terrible at tie dye lol
How did you bleach it? Tutorial please...
One day I'll make a bleaching denim tutorial :)
how comes it did not coloured the little red LEVIS thing near the pocket?
Possibly because of the blend of material for the thread/fabric of the tab
Great video!!
Thanks Cara! :) I might re-dye some of my favorite black clothes in the coming months
I'm really enjoying your videos. I played all 3 twice. Once for me and then my mom watched them. More play time for you. ;) Hope you make more soon. More videos, more views, more fun...Ness. lol You can do iiiit! :D
Awww thank you so much!! I want to get around to more one day
@@AlliRoots I'm now making a playlist of all your videos oldest to newest. Playlists get more views.
So cool
Thanks James!
Can you tie dye a white denim jacket?
Owww how about I find some white denim shorts for summer and tie-dye those?
Oh yes! I just need to know how to do it! I am dying for this tye dye jacket at AE, but I am too cheap to buy it and want to make my own! #thrifterproblems
Alli, are u still making these videos?
Hopefully sometime in the near future I will be making more
Awesome!!!
Thank you!
So I have a sharpa jacket I want to dye, but how can I dye the jacket with out dying the sharpa

Omg where did you get those dragon ball shelves ?!?!?🤯😁
I made them! :P
Do you still collect Funko pops?
We do! The Dragonball ones only
"Hot water boiler"? Is that a running joke or do you actually not call it a kettle?
Lol yup, I don't say kettle :P
Distressing it would take it that extra mile! I like it though!
Allie You're so so Beautiful And Lovely Woman 💖💖💖💖
Awww thank you so much, I try my best to be a good human lol.
💖💖💖💖💖🌷😍🤗😚💏💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
