Summer bucket list: Bleach print shirts


Last year we did the crayon iron transfer shirts, and this year we decided on bleach prints. It was pretty simple and I LOVED the way they turned out. Although these were pretty much all me. Not a lot for the kids to do, so next year we'll try something a little more kid friendly. 

Each kiddo chose a silhouette off the computer then we pasted it to contact paper and cut out the image. 

We stuck the surrounding framework onto the shirt, sprayed a little bleach on the image area and sat them in the sun for 10 to 20 minutes. 


Ethan's was very cool and had a flame effect that only enhanced the manliness of his dragon.
Somehow I convinced him not to do double swords on the front of the shirt. Less is more, young Grasshoppah, less is more.


Mathew chose a ninja from his coding academy website. The coding ninja turned out very crisp and cool.


Laney's horse was all that she wished for!!!


Anna and Megan's flopped because I go nervous and gave theirs an extra spray of bleach. The bleach bled under the contact paper and made their's look like a blob-stallion and blob-dog.

We will try again!
