1. DIY Bleach Pen
You'll Need:
- old highlighters
- T-shirt
- bleach
- printed-out design
- wax crayon
- pencil
- piece of cardboard
- construction paper
Here's How:
1.1 Open the highlighter, remove the tip and core color components, and wash out both in a bowl of water.
1.2 Fill another bowl with a little bleach and steep the highlighter tip and core. Then reassemble the highlighter.
1.3 Print out the design you want to use on a standard piece of paper and etch the back of the design with a wax crayon.
1.4 Decide where you want to position the design on the T-shirt and then use tape to hold the piece of paper in place. Then trace the design with a pencil.
Tip: Put a piece of cardboard inside the shirt for a better tracing.
1.5 Cut a hole that is roughly the same sign as the design in construction paper and put it on the shirt to serve as a protective cover.
1.6 Now trace the design with the DIY bleach pen.
Tip: Make a thin DIY bleach pen and a thick DIY bleach marker so that you can trace various widths.
And your personalized shirt is ready! You can also use this DIY craft to spruce up other kinds of materials besides T-shirts, and you can even experiment with free hand designs.
