Make shirts, share them, have fun
A place to post your home made shirts where you have applied your design using a stencil , as well as tips, techniques, and info. We started with a focus on bleach shirts but please feel free to include shirts that include bleach and/or other embelishments ink/dye/fabric paint or pasta sauce.
If you report something please explain why. something pissed you off is not a good reason to report it
If you post someone else's shirt it will be removed, The only content you should post is your own. TLDR: OC only
Spray on, my friends.
VERY IMPORTANT DO NOT MIX BLEACH WITH VINEGAR OR ANYTHING BUT WATER. Here is why
Basically, yes vinegar will stop the bleaching process but it also releases very toxic chlorine gas.
Instead use a bleach neutralizer! Like this

painted it and wore it to a concert in the same day
I’m going to be creating a shirt with a dip-dye effect, and I’d like to get it as close to white as possible. I’m fine with some color, but the bleaching I’ve seen tends to be a warm orange tone. Is there a bleach alternative or way to use bleach to create a cooler-toned color (so a cool gray instead of a warm gray)?
I’ve googled and seen a few people suggest OUT White Brite, and it seems to give the color I want, but it’s a powder rather than a liquid so I’d worry about having less control over any sort of line shape.
Any guidance/tips is much appreciated!
The drawing is not difficult,
hey guys! what do you all use to draw your outline before you bleach? thanks!
I'm new to painting with bleach. But I really like it
So im new to bleaching T-Shirts.
To start i wanted to try to bleach some of my old black shirts, started with BOSS T-Shirts as i have a ton of them, i tried clorine, but that didn leave a mark, then i tried hydroogen peroxide, also didnt do anything.
Then i tried the same on a levis t-shirt and it worked immediatley.
So my question is: both are cotton, so it should be material, but is there bleach-resistant black color? I mean the T-Shirt looks like before, not a single batch of discoloring
So for christmas I plan on making my brother in law a tshirt with this image on it. is there any tips that I should take into account when doing this project? I’ve done bleach painting before but nothing like this so I want to be prepared.
friend of mine is commissioning me to bleach a couple tanks for him. only things he asked for was this general style with a cross and the number 2 in the designs if possible.
was wondering if anyone had any ideas or anything to improve the designs i have so far! this is also my 3rd time doing bleach art so any general tips are welcome too :)
**also if anyone wants to help with pricing that is absolutely more than welcomed
Hi I'm pretty new to bleach painting, can someone help me with how to add details. I'm making this jumper for my boyfriend and I don't want to add anything that'll mess it up. Thanks!
(pic for attention) Hi! looking for a good supplier of shirts/sweatshirts/etc for bleach art! thanks in advace <3
I've been trying to use a craft sponge to blot the bleach where I want it, but it's getting under the stencil on most occasions. I just tried a spray bottle but it's spray pattern is much to large causing over spray.
The inspo for this shirt was the cover of Pig Destroyer’s album “Terrifyer”. Thanks to the people who commented on my last post seeking advice, it was really helpful!
Realized I couldn’t get as many tones in the purple fabric as with black so used fabric paint to help 🤩
I want to make a sweater or dhirt like this but I don't know what chemicals he is using. Any help is appreciated :)
