Using Bleach as a resist on fabric.

1-  To prepare your fabric to accept any resist or dye you need to wash it in Super Washing Soda by Arm & Hammer.  Leave it wet to work with.

2-  Lay it out on a table outside to work with it.

3-  Place leaves and grass clippings on the fabric for the areas you want to have stay the original color.  This works best on BLACK fabric as it is under dyed with another color like orange or red.














4-  Spritz the fabric with a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 bleach in a spray bottle.  This should be done with a dust mask you can get at Home Depot.  The bleach is in a mist and can do damage to your lungs.

6-  Allow to stand until you get the effect you want.  At this point rinse the fabric in clear water to stop the bleaching process.

OTHER Patterns

To make a great pattern you can scrunch the fabric into a small area.  The more ways you scrunch the more pattern you get.  I also twist the fabric and then form a spiral and spray.  Try each and see what you like best.

After spraying the fabric when twisted or scrunched you can lay it back out flat and apply leaves and grass clippings then spray again for more effects.

Have fun.
