Make a simple zig-zag shirt design using tape and bleach!
Lay down some newspaper to protect your floors/tables from the bleach! You may also want to put some newspaper or cardboard inside your shirt to stop any bleach from bleeding onto the other side of your shirt. Use your tape to make a sort of zigzag design on your shirt. Notice how my zigzags look great on the bottom (that's where I started) and get all funky at the top? That's cause I wasn't paying attention. Don't be like me and take your time! TIP: Iron your shirt down on the floor for a nicer zigzag because if you don't you'll be spraying bleach on wrinkles. If you're wondering how to safely iron on the floor, use a towel!
Now get your spray on! Mix very little bleach with equal parts water in a spray bottle. Spray as much, or as little as you want.
This is what my shirt looked like after a few minutes. I let the bleach dry fully before removing the tape.
Here is the end result. I call this my Charlie Brown shirt. :]
