Galaxy Print Tee

How To Create Your Own... GALAXY PRINT TEE.

What you need :

~ plain black t-shirt bleach in a spray bottle fabric paint or acrylic paint in white an old toothbrush an old paintbrush hairdryer small piece of sponge gloves (optional) plastic sheet to protect the carpet plastic bag for inside your shirt.

1. Lay out your t-shirt on a large bin bag or another plastic protective sheet. Place the plastic bag inside so any bleach does not seep through to the other side.

2. Start by spraying carefully but randomly with the bleach (you can also use baby sterilizing liquid like I did, almost the same thing.)

3. You will see rusty red/orange marks begin to appear as if by magic. Speed up this process with your hairdryer on a low setting.

4. Once you have achieved a nice pattern, you can twist the fabric in the middle of the shirt to create a galaxy or star cluster.
5. Spray the centre of the twist liberally with bleach until desired effect has been reached.
6. Keep spraying wherever you need to - don't over do it though, less is sometimes more.
 *NEW TOP TIP
- When your bleached out top is completley dry (30-40mins) give it a rinse in luke warm water and let it dry out. This stops the bleach from working into the fabric any further and means it wont eat holes through your tshirt. When dry - continue with these steps....

7. Using white paint (fabric paint will not wash out) flick 'stars' on to the shirt using a stiff paintbrush or old toothbrush. Be careful but firm with your flicking action - larger gloops of paint just look like planets! 8. Add bigger white star clusters with your paintbrush or drip blobs of bleach on to the shirt to form a lovely constellation effect.

9. You can sponge on other colours of paint if you like, adding a bit of purple gives depth to your galaxy.
10. Leave to dry in a flat area overnight. Rinse with cold water the next day to get rid of the bleach smell.
