Bleach Tie Dye Sweatshirt
Create your own on trend sweatshirt using this easy bleach tie dye technique - it only takes a couple of supplies you probably own!
- Shirt 100% Cotton or Cotton Poly Blend
- Bleach
- Rubber Bands
- Plastic Bucket or Tub
- Disposable Gloves
Choose a tie-dye pattern and rubber band your shirt accordingly, making sure the rubber bands are tight.
Wear gloves to protect your hands and open windows to ensure good ventilation if you are working inside. Mix 1 part bleach and 1 part water in a plastic bucket or tub.
Dunk the shirt into the bleach water, pressing it down and turning it over to ensure that all of the shirt has been saturated.
Drain out the excess bleach water. Allow the shirt to sit 5-20 minutes until you are happy with the color change. Remember the color will be lighter after it's washed and dried, especially for cotton/poly blends. Do not let the shirt sit longer than 20 minutes.
Remove the rubber bands and rinse the shirt thoroughly in the sink. Wash and dry the shirt as you normally would to see the finished result.
