Bleached Out T-shirts!!

My sister Angie saw these on the Rachael Ray show and we wanted to try them out. I cut out designs using my Silhouette which is similar to a Cricut - except I can cut out any design on my computer!!! They used household items such as safety pins, keys, paper clips, etc...

Place the design on the t-shirt. Some of our designs were pretty intricate so we used a light coat of spray adhesive to stick them to the t-shirt. Spray with bleach until the shirt reaches the washed-out look that you desire (about 1 minute for us) and then use a second spray of vinegar to stop the bleach's reaction. We rinsed them in cold water and dried them.

The kids got to pick out their designs and place them on the t-shirt. They loved it!!

Calista's shirt is purple..Hailey's shirt is pink...Chance was playing with friends and wouldn't come tell me what he wanted.
