A Bleachy Halloween Project

I have been anxious to try bleach on t-shirts and thought Halloween might be the perfect time.  All I used was Q-tips, Bleach, & Freezer Paper.  Grab some shirts and lets get started!  

I found the spider image on Google Images, printed it the size I wanted, cut it out of Freezer paper and ironed it in place on my shirt.

 Put a plastic bag inside your shirt to prevent bleeding. Next outline the spider with the bleach Q-tip and create your web. It was orange-y at first but as it dried it became more white.

 Remove the freezer paper and let dry. Wash as normal.

 We did one with a cat face for my little girl.  Cut the freezer paper to create a resist, paint inside the lines with the Bleachy Q-tip & let dry.

My son wanted a fly in the web so I found another image and  followed the same process.  Then I added a red hour glass on the spider to make it a black widow with craft paint.

This one is mine.

Happy Haunting!

NOTE:  I love the look but you need to be careful.  My shirt was pretty thin knit and the bleach ate through the fabric in one spot.  Use a heavy-er knit and you should be fine.
