How I bleached my shirt

Printed out the image and sticked it with some tape.

I then measured some freezer paper to the length of the image

Normally when bleaching shirts you want to use extra paper to protect the shirt later on, but since I am making a negative and I'm only going to use the image I don't want t use too much.

Don't want it moving around when tracing or cutting, so I secured it with tape.

What it looks like after I finished tracing it with a pencil.

I then flip the cutting board around, so I can start cutting the drawn image without cutting the printed image in case I make a mistake.

Eyes and mouth go out first.

Then the whole body comes out.

Now I use a simple bottle I got at a grocery store and some bleach

Try to get the mix 50% water 50% Bleach. As seen I just added 4oz of water and 4 oz of bleach.

Now you put cardboard or newspaper inside a shirt to make it flat, and to not damage the back of the shirt when bleaching.

I have a fluffly cat, and his hair tends to get everywhere, so before I iron the shirt I pass a lint roller to remove as much ha

I have a fluffy cat, and his hair tends to get everywhere, so before I iron the shirt I pass a lint roller to remove as much hair as possible I don't want to run the risk of the hair ruining the shirt

After I iron the shirt I then find a good place for the stencil to be placed, I then Iron that in also.

When Ironing the stencil in to a shirt I recommend using an iron at medium heat, and pressing down with the iron and passing it slowly.

I use gloves when working with bleach since my hands are sensitive to strong chemicals.

I recommend anyone with sensitive skin to use gloves when working with bleach.

Be ready with bowl of cold water nearby when you finish with the bleaching.

I used the kitchen floor as my station don't want to damage the rug.

I start slowly adding the bleach and drying it off. Take your time with this you want it to come out right.

Never add too much bleach at once you might run the risk of it bleeding trough the image and ruining it.

Second coat of bleach

Third coat

Forth coat

Now that I got the area around Gengar to what I want it to almost look like I start spreading out more get a more splash effect

I use a Q tip to a make bigger drop effect on the shirt

After some more details it looks good enough.

I then quickly dunk it the water remove the bleach.

What it looks like after removing the stencil.

Into the washer and dryer remove any bleach.

End result. Got the splash effect I was looking.

Side to side to my first attempt.Thanks for watching :D
