T-shirt Bleach Designs

Materials:

• coloured t-shirts
• spray bottle
• bleach
• waterproof drop cloth or tarp
• newspaper, old towels
• cardboard
• bucket or sink/tub of water
• Stencil materials, such as:
  • Leaves
  • Shapes
    • Fun-foam shapes work well
  • adhesive letters
    • Again, fun foam works well. The adhesive is optional, well behaved shapes (doesn't curl) work well.
  • spray adhesive (e.g Krylon EasyTack)
    • This is optional, but may be recommended if dealing with shapes that curl up, such as dried out autumn leaves
    • One camp without spray adhesive available, we used slightly diluted table syrup. Worked great!
  • painter’s tape
• vinyl gloves
