How to Tie-dye with BLEACH 

I tye dye at 3am when I’m board….. WHO HAS “HYDROGEN PEROXIDE” LAYING AROUND 😂

@@sleepy8089 It's a common household antiseptic. So.. a lot of people.

@@sleepy8089 i literally have a bottle in each bathroom and the kitchen. Who doesn’t have peroxide? It’s like $1 a bottle

@@DustySprinkles I’m doing something wrong ig 😩

@@DustySprinkles in the Netherlands basically no one has it at home and it’s actually difficult to come by r.i.p 😅💀

How did it come out??

What a great tribute to a kind man, hope they all turn out!

@@xSouled Mine came out great, albeit less pronounced than I had hoped. I think I made my water/bleach solution too weak.

This is the sweetest and most wholesome thing I have read recently. Came to learn how to tie-dye a shirt and now leaving with a smile and watery eyes

What a heartfelt gesture of remembrance. ❤

thanks for the tip! :]

Awesome idea, good luck!!!

You are welcome!

Bleach works so well! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Cool 😎

You're welcome!

No dont because you don’t want to directly breath that in

@@mattfetcko you won’t if you wash it..

Good luck!

So cool, love that band

Hi Susan, you are welcome, as an artist I feel like all my clothes are stained!! I feel your pain:)

I bought it at a grocery store

It’s the bleach you use in your house. Just bleach

You are welcome! I used detergent

nalahs187 I did both warm and cold and it didn’t make a difference:) hope that helps! Good luck

@@MrOtterArtStudio thank you, my water here is Luke warm in the summer I was afraid that the warm water would make the color fade

Maybe spiral on the upper third on one side and the lower third in the other

YES I was thinking about doing it to one of my band shirts 🥰

I'm doing slipknot

Ive only tried it with a squirt bottle

The blue will work best because blue is opposite to orange on the color wheel.

Yes but the effect It depends on how the image was printed

Mr. Otter Art Studio oh, the texture is kinda leather

marinette mari I don’t know what bleach would do do leather, if you don’t care too much about the shirt try it out!

I did try this with jeans and it looked okay but not great. I think the denim was too thick so the bleach didn’t bleed to the other side

The front of the jeans looked great but the back didn’t have much of a pattern

The bleach wouldn't work on a white shirt but if you use color dye instead of bleach you sure can

My friend did it and her shirt bleached to a gray color instead of orange. I wish I knew the answer, bleach is usually strong enough to affect dark fabric. Maybe try a test and don't dilute the bleach with water

If the fabric has a high acrylic content it wont bleach as well! Go for cotton fabric

It should work, but the bleach might affect the image or logo

I’m glad I’m not the only one ruining my clothes…:)

If you dilute the bleach and don't leave it on long you should be fine, I have made a few, and my family has as well and no one got any holes, however I would feel terrible if my advice ruined a nice shirt. Practice on a stained shirt

Not to discredit the poster in this video but this project may be good for just a quick little project and that's it. If you want good results you have to put in the time and use the proper materials and bleach regardless of how diluted it is isn't one of them. It will not take long before the shirt starts coming a part after several washes. That is just the effect bleach has on colored fabrics. Rit dyes are junk as well as dyes used in store bought tie dying kits. That being said, do you ever wonder why quality tie dyes are rather spendy? Most people doing them have years of experimenting and honing their skillset to make the beautiful patterns you see. They use high quality dyes that are not cheap. But they are very vibrant and using the right process, they don't wash out. The fabric will wear out before the colors lose much of their vibrancy. Bottom line, use crap materials, get crap results. Again, I am not bashing the poster here.....this may be a great way to do a project that doesn't matter a lot or to cover an accident from bleach use.

It depends on what kind of decal, printed, embroidered, etc. It might, bleach is pretty powerful

It can if you leave it on for long enough. To bleach the fabric it only needs to stay on for minutes

idk if its gonna work

i think i messed up the pattern but oh well the shirt itself is already pretty messed up

How did it turn out? Ive never used powder bleach

@@MrOtterArtStudio it didnt work but it turned out it didnt have bleach in it lol

I bet you could ice-reverse-dye with powdered bleach. 🤔

Did you dilute the bleach with water?

I used to have a t-shirt shop back in the 90s. There was a thing called discharge ink, which basically bleached the color out of dark shirts as part of the ink. It was my understanding that it didn't work on all shirts because different types of dye might be used. And sometimes they would dye unpopular or experimental colors of shirts black, and sell them as black shirts. And when they did this, they used dyes that were bleach resistant, because they were cheaper. not sure if that's what happened to you, tho. Hope the info helps.

Concentrated bleach cleaner

My question is, would it be difficult to ball up and put the rubber bands on as it's quite a thick material compared to a T-Shirt

I wish I was that funny

Did anything happen after that? Ik its been one month but for me its still black

that is really interesting!!! Bleach usually bleaches... I wonder what kind of fabric that is

Yeah nothing changed on mine either. I also did a black t shirt. Wonder if I should have used more bleach than water

I had this same issue, so I grabbed another shirt thinking it was the fabric blend. Turned out, I was using regular bleach. When I grabbed a bottle of concentrated bleach it worked just like in the video. Hope this helps anyone looking to do this.

Okay Karen?? Didn’t she go through every safety protocol?

@@MrWaddupbro doesn't make em a karen for warning people.
