Materials:

CAUTION: BLEACH IS STRONG AND CAN MAKE A MESS IF SPILLED.
TAKE PRECAUTIONS: Wear old clothes or an apron, use rubber gloves when handling bleach, if you are sensitive to the fumes wear a mask and goggles. Set up an area with a flat surface and bleach-proof surface or covering – like a plastic tablecloth.
Steps:
- Get or make a stencil
- Position stencil on garment OR create stencil with glue gun
- Pour bleach into spray bottle
- Dilute with water if desired
- Set nozzle of spray bottle to mist

DO WE NEED TO WASH THE GARMENT AFTER?
Wash items separately to avoid transferring bleach
WILL THIS WORK WITH ALL FABRICS?
A blend of cotton polyester is best. Cotton alone will work well, but bleach weakens the cotton fibers and can cause holes.
