Bleach Out T-Shirt Tutorial From Amanda at Burlap & Denim Supplies: • Stencil of the design you want to use (I cut my design with a Silhouette into heavy cardstock).  Our group’s theme was “Girl on Fire.” (print here) • Stencil Adhesive or Elmer’s spray glue • Small spray bottle filled with 40% Bleach 60% Water • Very absorbent paper towels • Cotton shirt • Piece of cardboard to fit inside shirt • Blow drier Instructions: 1. A quick spray of Stencil Adhesive spray to the back side of the stencil and then let it set up for two or three min. 2. Press the stencil down flat and centered on the back of the shirt.  Be sure that the letters and edges are especially secure to avoid bleach sneaking under the stencil.  Fold under any excess shirt and cover any pieces with paper towels to avoid random bleach spots. 42
