DIY Bleach Stain Shirt!

One of my first projects on this blog was a Hello Kitty Bleach Shirt that I used vinyl to create the design. I love that shirt, and still have it. I wanted to make some more fun shirts, but instead of using vinyl, I opted to use freezer paper to make the design. These DIY Bleach Stain shirt are super easy to make, and fun to make.

I opted to make a Boba Fett inspired shirt using the Mandalorian symbol. But, you can make any design you want! I love using freezer paper for crafts because it is easily available, and cheap!

For this project all you need is freezer paper and a spray bottle full of bleach. Alternatively, you can use freezer paper on a white shirt and use fabric dye, like I did in my DIY Galaxy Unicorn shirt.

To see how I made this fun and easy DIY Bleach Stain Shirt, check out the video below!

This is also a great way to renew old shirts! I have a few shirts that have bleach stains, so I will be pulling them out of the bottom of my dresser to revamp them!

DIY Bleach Stain Shirt

Materials

Dark colored cotton shirt (black, brown and blue work best)
Vinyl Decal of choice
Spray bottle filled with bleach
Cardboard or foam board

Tools

Hair dryer (optional)

Instructions

Place your cardboard or foam board inside the shirt to prevent the bleach from bleeding onto the back of the shirt.
Smooth out any wrinkles and place your decal where you would like.
Using a straight edge, remove any excess bubbles.
When spraying, I like to start in the center of the image and make sure that it is completely saturated with bleach first, then work my way out to give it a splatter look.
Once sprayed, you have two options. You can either wait for it to dry on its own, or you can use a hair dryer set to low to speed up the process. (I am impatient so I used a hair dryer.)
Once completely dry, repeat the process of spraying it down with bleach again and letting it dry.
Repeat this process until you reach the desired lightness of shirt.
Allow to dry completely.
Rinse under cool water to remove excess bleach.
Wash separately.
