Bleach Printing

I’ve been wanting to try bleach printing for ages and I’m here to report that it’s so easy and super fun! It’s actually the reverse of printing in that it removes pigment instead of adding it, but it’s the same basic concept in that you can create a pattern on fabric. From the research I did before getting started, I found out that it works best on blue fabric (on black fabric the bleach can only remove some of the pigment and you are left with a pink or orange negative print instead of white). In this Instructable I’ll give you the basics that you need to create your own custom ‘reverse’ print/pattern!
