STEPS
TOOLS
first, get your bleach and put it in a spray bottle
get one or two sponges. makeup sponges or paintbrush sponges will also work
the ones in the front are more ideal colors, purples and blues, as well as orange and pink. white and yellow are used for stars. make sure you have black incase any color bleeds outside your tape
lay out your materials near your working space for easy access
lay out your black shirt on newspaper and put a price of cardboard inside. this is important so the paint and bleach doesn't run through
use masking tape to hold in your shape
I am using a cross, but feel free to choose whatever you want
covering the rest of the shirt with newspaper
this is how the bleach reacts to the black shirt
combine either white or vanilla/creme acrylic paint with water
put into spray can
add either color (I used creme)
use sponge
or just directly squeeze paint onto shape
put it all over
use sponge-like brush
add white and creme to create stars
dab with small brush or end of brush
dab all the white
use sponge
remove newspaper
take off tape
cover up any extra paint outside shape with black paint
your finished, now wash and dry ALONE. do not put it in with anything else or paint will get all over it
strut your new shirt by cutting sleeves off, adding lace, or slits in it. you can see how to do these things in any of my other guides. enjoy!(:
FYI: I used two different shirts because I had to start over on another shirt due to the first shirt having an odd material. T-shirt material works best, while heavier, looser material doesn't. (:
