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)

DIY Inspiration

With Thanksgiving coming up, I am busy helping prepare large portions of food, making my Black Friday plans (HOLY ALL THINGS YESYESYES), and making up loads upon loads of homework.

If I thought I was bogged down before.. well... it has gotten worse. I need a machine that either does all my work for me, or slaps me when I procrastinate.

However, amidst all the crazy events and friends, I am determined to make this Galaxy Top. I have been lussssting after galaxy print EVERYTHING this whole year.




Same note:

I am loving the bleach-painting technique! It seems simple >enough< and is a fresh way to create a permanent design.

Sometimes, Sharpie just is not enough.
