Bleach Shirt Template Stars

Bleach shirt templates / stencils are a fun and easy way to add your own unique designs to plain white t-shirts. With a little creativity, you can create custom shirts for yourself, your friends, or even your family.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a bleach shirt stencil:

1. Gather your supplies. You will need the following:
   • A white t-shirt
   • A bleach shirt stencil (you can make your own or buy one)
   • A spray bottle
   • Bleach
   • Cardboard
   • Masking tape
   • Paper towels
2. Prepare your shirt. Wash your shirt in cold water and dry it completely. This will help to prevent the bleach from bleeding.
3. Trace the stencil onto the shirt. If you are using a homemade stencil, you will need to trace it onto the shirt using a pencil. If you are using a store-bought stencil, you can simply place it on the shirt and trace around it.
4. Place a piece of cardboard under the stencil. This will help to prevent the bleach from seeping through to the back of the shirt.
5. Secure the stencil in place. You can use masking tape to secure the stencil in place. This is not necessary, but it will help to prevent the stencil from moving while you are spraying the bleach.
6. Mix the bleach. You will need to mix 1 part bleach with 2 parts water. You can do this in a spray bottle or a bowl.
7. Apply the bleach. Hold the spray bottle about 6 inches from the shirt and spray the bleach evenly over the stencil. Be sure to spray all the way to the edges of the stencil.
8. Let the bleach sit for 5-10 minutes. The bleach will start to lighten the color of the shirt immediately. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to get the desired effect.
9. Remove the stencil. Carefully peel off the stencil. You may need to use a paper towel to help remove any bleach that has seeped under the stencil.
10. Wash and dry the shirt. Wash the shirt in cold water and dry it on a low setting. This will set the bleach and prevent it from fading.

Tips

• Use a light hand when applying the bleach. You can always add more bleach, but it is difficult to remove it once it has been applied.
• Be careful not to overspray the bleach. This can cause the shirt to become too light or even transparent.
• If you are using a homemade stencil, be sure to use a thick, sturdy material. This will help to prevent the stencil from tearing when you are spraying the bleach.
• Have fun! Bleach shirts are a great way to express your creativity and individuality. Get creative with your designs and see what you can come up with.

Troubleshooting

• If the bleach is not lightening the color of the shirt, you may need to let it sit for longer.
• If the bleach is bleeding under the stencil, you may need to use a thicker piece of material or more masking tape to secure the stencil in place.
• If the shirt is becoming too light, you can stop spraying the bleach and rinse the area with cold water.
• If you make a mistake, you can always try again. Bleach shirts are easy to make and you can always experiment with different designs.
