DIY acid washed denim jacket

what you need:

• a piece of denim clothing (I got my jacket at a thriftstore!)
• a sponge (I recommend using one you don't need anymore)
• rubber gloves to protect your hands
• bleach
• a small bowl 
• a plastic bag or something else to protect your working area

what you do:

• cover the working area
• spread your piece of clothing out in front of you
• fill some bleach into the bowl
• tip: in case you never used bleach before or you're not sure how light you want the denim to turn out, mix the bleach with a little water, this will slow down the bleaching process
• dip your sponge into the bleach and go over the denim with it
• you don't need to make it perfect, but try to spread it somewhat equally
• let the bleach sink in and do its work
• if you need to, you can go over the denim a couple more times, if you want the effect to be stronger
• I actually mixed 2/3 bleach and 1/3 water and went over the denim 3 times, my denim was kind of resistant to the bleach. that can happen!
• put your clothing in the washing machine (and dryer)
• voilà!
