DIY// Denim Dip-Dye Shirt






You'll need:
- Shirt
- Bucket
- Bleach (preferably thin but thick will work too)
- Coat Hanger


Nº1

Dilute bleach with water 1 part thick bleach to 4 parts water and add more bleach if it isn't working. It's best to start low and build up incase your shirt is delicate although I ended up using pure thin bleach in a second attempt because the thick bleach had no effect.

Nº2
Go get something to eat (probably best to wash your hands first if you don't use gloves like me). Some people say theirs only took 20 minutes to bleach to white but I ended up having to leave mine over night in pure bleach so this bit is a bit of a guessing game.

Nº3
Rinse by hand and then wash thoroughly on its own in the machine and then dry.

Tips:
- If you haven't got a wide bucket it might be easier to put an elastic band just above where you want to bleach to to help you get it all in quickly. Don't bleach past the band or you'll get a tie-dye effect.
