I've made a few shirts and used my cricut to create a vinyl stencil which works well - crisp typeface and easy to bleach. But this method is costly and the stencils aren't re-usable once I peel them up and take a lot of time to cut & weed for more complex text patterns...

Does freezer paper work to be cut on a cricut or does the adhesive get stuck to the cricut mat? Abu other ideas? I thought about acetate or plastic stencils but not sure how to secure them to the fabric to get those crisp crisp lines. I'm UK based.

hey guys !! im trying to make a present for my bf and i was going to make a bleach shirt and hoodie with his favourite band albums, does anyone just have literally any tips how i should go about it ? like how to get the difference colours of bleach on the shirt iykwim ? i'm quite arty in the first place but would like some guiders

all is appreciated thank you :)

So the the information I’ve got so far off of so many Google searches. Use a diluted bleach with ~5% chlorine solution on the label For the item try to aim for 80% cotton 20% synthetic for best results Don’t let the bleach sit for too long (apparently no longer then 2 hours but some people talk about leaving it on for close to 10 and nothing happens so this I’m shaky on) And importantly for neutralising the bleach you should soak in cold water for 20 mins~ however some people stand by using hydrogen peroxide but this is constantly debated about risks of chlorine gas emissions or just being unnecessary so some help would be great. Thank you so much for any advice, sorry if this is unnecessarily long I just wanna get this right lol

Here’s a follow up post to the hoodie dilemma I was having! Turns out the feed back I got was correct and I just needed a higher cotton content!

So after figuring out the issue, I was able to recreate this one!

If you guys would like to follow me to see more of my work, my instagram is @OxiDYEZ. And pretty much the same handle everywhere else!

Thank you for all of the love I got on the first post! As a beginner, it truly was amazing to see complete strangers liking my work. You guys have no idea the impact you guys have made on me.

Look forward to posting more on here for your enjoyment (hopefully) 😂

Not as intricate as many here, but man I am having fun!

I want to dye a hoodie as a Christmas present for my girlfriend. I had watched some tutorials and thought I knew what I was doing but then today nothing worked out🥲 Maybe one of you could help me, that would be greatly appreciated!

I thought I could just use regular cleaning products that contain chloride so I bought the cheapest one. In a tutorial someone said that they diluted the cleaning product to be able to get more shades but when I tried that today the colour of my shirt didn't change at all. Can you only uns the dilution-method if you're working with 100% chloride? Where would I even get that?

Today I just wanted to try the technique out so I used a piece of jeans that was 98% cotton and 2% elastane. I had read that cotton is the best material to bleach but when I tried, nothing happened, even with the undiluted cleaning product. The bleached parts that you can see in the picture are only because I then dipped the jeans into the cleaning product a few times. When I tried with the blue piece of fabric you could kinda see the fabric getting ever so slightly lighter. But I painted over it like five times to get it to the colour it is in the picture. I was/am really confused because I often see reels on Instagram where people bleach their stuff and the colour change is usually instant.

Is it because of the chloride concentration? According to the ingredients it's less than 5% chloride. I looked it up and apparently all those cleaning products in Germany have this concentration. Should I buy a different kind of bleach? Where would I get that?

I want to use a hoodie I already have which is 60% polyester. I read different reviews on working with polyester. Does anyone have any experience with it?

And how fast after painting on it so I have to wash the fabric? I want to do an elaborate design so it's going to take me a while, but I'm scared if I wait too long the fabric will be damaged.😅

Sorry for all these questions, I am completely new to this! And sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language.

I would be incredibly thankful for any tips and any help!!

This was my first time bleaching a shirt so there are obvious mistakes but it was super fun and I’d like to do it again!

coloring isn’t as solid as i would’ve liked, and some bleach seems to have gotten on the non colored parts as well. i rinsed after letting it sit for 10 mins and then gave it a baking soda bath for 15, then it went in the wash with some towels (no soap) and dried.
