How to Bleach Tie Dye T-Shirts

Here’s a little how-to on how I make my bleach tie dye t-shirts!

Subscribe to GOOW for new videos every week! http://bit.ly/SubscribeGOOW


You will need:
Dark colored t-shirts (I got these at Kohls!)
– Goonies Never Say Die – http://go.magik.ly/ml/a0hl/
– Nirvana – http://go.magik.ly/ml/a0hn/
– Sublime – http://go.magik.ly/ml/a0ho/
– Batman Cat – http://go.magik.ly/ml/a0hq/
Concentrated low-splash bleach – http://go.magik.ly/ml/a0hg/
Rubber bands – http://go.magik.ly/ml/a0hk/
Running Water
Latex or Rubber Gloves – http://go.magik.ly/ml/a0hj/
A safe place to pour and rinse bleach, like a bathtub

STEPS:
1. Fold up your t-shirt as desired.
2. Wrap it up in a bunch of rubber bands.
3. Soak various areas of the shirt with bleach.
4. Wait 10 minutes.
5. Rinse t-shirt thoroughly with water.
6. Dry t-shirt (air dry or in the clothes dryer).
*** I recommend washing the t-shirts separately the first time you wash them, in case any bleach residue remains in the shirt.

FYI: Magic Links (go.magik.ly) support this channel at no cost to you. If you purchase an item through my magik.ly links, I may be paid a small percentage of the sale (usually 1-5%).
