Geeky Bleach Shirts, a set on Flickr.
Bleach and I have a love/hate relationship ever since I ruined a pair of expensive jeans. I rarely use it except on my white counter tops in my kitchen that absorb every stain in the known Universe. My love for bleach came a couple years ago when I did a summer craft camp. One of our assignments was using contact paper and bleach to re-purpose old t-shirts. After completing a really cool Steam-punk tank I was hooked.
I am all about DIY projects especially when they are cheap. While this is a good summer craft it’s also a craft that the family can do for Christmas gifts. Keep in mind that bleach will ruin your clothes and hands, so wear old stuff and gloves. A Clorox bleach pen is great for free hand work or on stencils or stamps.
Today’s DIY uses contact paper and bleach in a spray bottle. I took a picture of each step for us visual folks! Click the link under the pictures for specific instructions.
If you come up with a design we would love to see them. Post a link in your comments below.
Awesome shirts! I love these.
I just came across this and love the design! VERY recently – I just started making bleach shirts and I’m quite drawn to the world of geekdom. A few folks already bought my TARDIS shirts. 🙂
