Whether you want to dress up a plain t-shirt or you’re looking to rescue a favorite garment that has gotten stained, bleaching is a great alternative to dyeing – rather than add color, you can take it away instead for a different effect. Over at Lil Blue Boo, Ashley did an entire series of tutorials on different fabric bleaching techniques, including how to use stencils to create a design. You can use store-bought stencils, cut your own stencils, or even use various objects (such as a doily). If you like this look, be sure to check out the rest of her fabric bleaching series as well!
