Craftation: Round One

Every month, I will try to add a new craft and directions to the craft. This month it shall be bleach pen tee shirts. I hope this plan turns out!

Here goes!

First you get all the stuff you need:
  • Old Tee Shirt (Mine is just from Walmart)
  • Bleach Pen (For whites)
  • Spray Bottle
  • Cardboard paint board for tee shirts... you could just use a piece of card board though, but we just had on of these laying around.
Put the tee shirt on the board and pull it pretty tight.

Start drawing your picture on the shirt with the pen side (you can use the other but for this picture it was just made more sense).
Spray the picture with a little water, just enough to get the shirt a little bit wet. This will help it disperse easier.

Let it dry over night WITH THE BOARD INSIDE IT. Otherwise it will seep through and show up on the other side. Like so...

By morning, it should look cracked, somewhat like this.
You should get this. Remember, every material and color reacts differently.
This is what I finished it off with (obviously it is optional).
And sha-bam, you are finished!


Until I blog again,
