how to dip-bleach your clothes


what you need:
  • a piece of clothing, preferably mainly cotton
  • a rubber band
  • a bowl
  • bleach
  • gloves
  • sunshine :) (you can do this inside just as well, but the bleach has a really strong smell to it and it might not work just as good as when it can react with sunlight)

what you do:
  • determine how far you want to bleach your fabric, if you like, you can tie off the height with a rubber band so you can be sure you don't bleach beyond it
  • fill the bowl with bleach
  • dunk the part of your fabric you want to bleach into it and let it soak
  • then take it out, lay it out flat in the sun and let both the sun and the bleach do their work
  • how long you let it sit depends on how light you want the bleached part to be
  • the only thing left to do is wash and dry your fabric!













I decided to add some small splashes, just because I like how it looks.




the products I used:
Eau de Javel bleach from my local drugstore, you can use whichever bleach you like or can get
