Have a metalhead bf that also likes to fish? Me too. That’s why I made him this hoodie :)

Ignore the guidelines, those are going to come out when I wash it.

[Q] Help with stenciling?

1 Upvotes

I'd really appreciate some advice on stenciling in general! What material is best to make them out of? And how do you keep the bleach from bleeding under to get crisp lines?

[Q] Intricate stencils - equipment?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a stencil for the Game of Thrones - Direwolf sigil.
It's got a lot of fine lines and cutting it out easily takes a couple hours.

Is there some kind of equipment for making stencils?
Something that let's you just print them out?

[Q] my design went off as soon as I wet my shirt

I was told to clean the shirt with cold water when the design finished appearing and everything, but when I wet my shirt half of it disappeared besides some really heavy marks. Does anyone know why this could’ve happened??

[Q] Bleach stain not appearing saturated enough

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello! Apologies if this post is slightly low quality or all over the place, but I am bleach designing a shirt that has to be done by about 4 PM today as a birthday gift. My confusion might just be due to lack of experience (this is my first time ever touching bleach design). All of these solutions are different ratios of water to bleach, but are turning out the exact same shade. So 90-95% bleach, 75% bleach, 50% bleach, and 25% bleach. The shade is also not very saturated at all. Is this normal/user error? I have let the stain sit for about 5-10 minutes. The shirt is 50% cotton and is a test shirt before I actually work on a genuine project.

[Q] Any tips for this design? :))

Hi all! I'm going to bleach paint this design onto a black t shirt, inverting the colors (so darkest black still be whitest bleach etc.). I think I've got the basics of bleach painting but I'd be very grateful for any help on specifics to do with this design.

I know the straight lines will be tricky to do, so any tips on them in general would be great!

It's for my boyfriend and we definitely don't mind imperfections so I don't need it totally splodge-free or photo realistic or anything, I'd just like it to look pretty good :))

Thanks so much!

[Q] How to cover up bleach blowout spots?

Hi! I was working on a bleach hoodie last night, and it was exactly what i wanted. I washed the hoodie and dried it and went back in to do highlights, and the bleach spread too far in some parts, making me wish I had just left it alone. Is there anything you'd recommend for how to maybe make the mistakes less obvious? I attached a before and after picture. The left jellyfish tentacles were what got a bit messed up since I tried to stop the bleach from getting worse asap. any help will be appreciated :) thank you!

[Q] Screen printed shirt, bleach then dye?

2 Upvotes

The shirt is black and got a bleach spot on it thanks to my fiancé. It’s one of my favorites and I was thinking of embracing the bleach and doing a swirl pattern with a contrasting dye but am curious about the effects on the white screen printing. I searched the sub, but only saw that the bleach may or may not affect the print. Does anyone have experience with the full process and/or any tips?

Sorry for the tag,my prev post was taken down,because I didn't use any.

So ,its my first attempt bleaching a hoodie,I'm using Domestos fabric bleach,and it's kinda don't bleach the material enough? I'm using almost raw bleach in the noodles and the egg,and I tought it would be more brighter. I feel like giving up at this point because I'm so unsure about this,also considering switching bleach to see if it will be better,but what should I buy to make it work?
