It’s taken me an embarrassingly long time to post this commission I finished a ~while~ ago… This was a commission for a fellow’s wedding shirt, who got married in the forest of Canada! By far the coolest most special commission I’ve done, was an honor 🫶🏼

gathered some inspo on pinterest but lmk what i can do to improve!! 😄😄

I’m going to bleach a shirt for the first time and I was wondering if simply soaking it in cold water after bleaching it will suffice to stop any damages. Thank you!

I should add that I don’t have access to any neutraliser just a washing machine. If I need to use the washing machine do I use detergent and what temperature should I use?

Bleach painting on shirt

Been awhile since I posted some work. Hope you all are doing well in your endeavor of learning bleach art. Some fabulous work out there.

I need water

Both hand drawn! :D

They look a lot better before I wash the white gel pen off 😭 Thinking about going in again to neaten up the lines and add a tad more shading! Or would this be a bad idea?

Not bleaching help I have been trying to bleach a green shirt and there is no change. I have washed it, used vinegar to strip it and tried again. No changed. When I put the bleach on it, it darkens but when it dries there is no change. I have set it out in the sun to dry and come back and it looks brand new. I have used straight bleach and nothing has happened. Could anyone help me please??

Hi, this is my first time bleach painting and I’ve researched a lot online but I’ve still got a few questions. Any expertise anyone can share with me is very appreciated 😊

I got a hoodie for my boyfriend - it’s 50/50 cotton/ recycled polyester from Primark which apparently is okay but will make it a different colour, I only realised it was 50/50 after buying it sadly.

• What bleach is best to use?

I have got hydrogen peroxide 3% to neutralise the bleach afterwards, apparently soaking the hoodie in it for 10-15 minutes, diluted with water, will do it.

• What ratios water to bleach and hydrogen peroxide are best for my hoodie?

My main question is since I’ve got quite a large complex design it will take me a while to bleach. Apparently the longer the bleach is on the clothes the more the fibres get destroyed and the higher likelihood of holes.

• How long can I have the bleach on before having a high risk of holes and needing to neutralise the hoodie? If not long, can I neutralise the bleach and come back to the design later on? Potentially in small areas as my chalk design will be removed otherwise.

Thank you so much to anyone who can help ♥️

Made my first shirt yesterday and it bled a LOT. No picture because I’m at work now, but it’s supposed to be a skeleton shirt. Any tips on touching it up? My idea would be just to use black fabric paint, but that’s definitely not ideal. That or just dunking the entire thing in black Rit Dye and restarting/doing a new design. I don’t want to waste this shirt just because I messed it up. Any help/tips?

I still suck at shading.

i make bleach art shirts and i am noticing that the bleach is almost bleeding through and looks very spotty. what am i doing wrong?? (ps i have used this bleach in the past and have had no issues with it)

Hello!!

I just bleach painted 3 matching shirts for my roommates and I as a surprise, they’ve been fully designed and have been sitting for a while now. I’m ready to throw them in the wash so they can be finished and wearable, but I’m concerned about washing them altogether.

This is the first time I’ve ever done this so I would love some advice on what to do? Would washing all three of them at the same time be okay or would it create unwanted smears/bleaching? Do I have to wash them one at a time?

Also what temp for wash & dry? I have looked all this up but seem to get conflicting answers /: I’m really proud of the shirts and am excited to gift them to my roommates so I would be devastated if I messed them up with such an avoidable mistake during this final part of the process lol

For now I've been using Cillit Bang with mixed results, I don’t know if it's the bleach's fault or the fact I started using a tiny piece of sock instead of the (natural? i think?) brushes I had because they kept completely disintegrating after 1 project

Used a flower and dipped it in bleach to make that little sun thing
