Kid Craft: Bleached Tees

Cresta Shawver and Arynne Keezer (Photos) — For a fun summer project that is totally kid-friendly, try these bleached t-shirts! You could use any word or phrase you’d like! 

First, print your words or phrases out of stock paper and cut the letters out one by one (or use contact paper in your printer).

If you’ve used plain paper, spray adhesive on the back of the letters. Adhere the sticky letters to the t-shirt.

Fill a spray bottle with a solution of half water, half bleach. Mist the shirt evenly with the bleach solution. Keep in mind, the more you spray, the lighter the t-shirt will be, and the greater the contrast between the words and the rest of the shirt.

Darker colored t-shirts need more spray than light colored shirts.

When the shirt is damp evenly with the bleach solution, slowly peel off the letters. You’ll see the words almost immediately! Let the shirt dry in the sun, and then wash and wear as usual!
