DIY Galaxy Tee

I surprised even myself that I managed to squeeze this DIY in! Though I underestimated just how long it would take, luckily I could let it sit overnight.

The hairdryer helps a lot, but even then I had to hold the heat over one place for more than a few minutes at times.

The ratio of bleach to water is crucial in colouring and intensity.

I have learned a few new tricks I'd like to do for another shirt (an improved one) that will combine a brush technique I use with  ink.

Either way, take a peek at the results, and let me know if you like it as much as I do!

**I am working on a method to brighten the colour.

Materials:

• Bleach

• Water

• Cotton t-shirt

• Spray Bottle

• Hairdryer (optional)

• Paintbrush (optional)

• Plastic bags (optional)

1. Line the inside of the t-shirt with plastic bags (if you don't want the bleach to bleed to the other side)
2. Fill the spray bottle with 1 part bleach : 3 parts water
3. Spray a general area of the shirt (blow-dry to see an emerging pattern)
4. Pinch or swirl the center of your galaxy
5. Generously spray the your pinched/swirled fabric (blow-dry)
6. Repeat steps 3&5 for the outcome you'd like
7. Dip a brush into a 1 part bleach : 1 part water solution and dot stars
