Acid washing a tee can be achieved using a process involving bleach and creating patterns.
To acid wash a t-shirt based on one method, you will need a t-shirt, bleach, a paintbrush, rubber bands, and water.
Here's a breakdown of the steps described:
Materials Needed
- T-shirt
- Pure bleach
- Paintbrush
- Rubber bands
- Water
- Tub for rinsing
Step-by-Step Process
- Prepare: Ensure you are in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves to protect your hands from bleach.
- Apply Pure Bleach: At first, use pure bleach with a paintbrush to make swirls on the t-shirt.
- Use Rubber Bands: Incorporate rubber bands into the process. This step is mentioned after applying pure bleach swirls; typically, rubber bands are used to tie sections of the shirt to create resist patterns before applying bleach.
- Apply Diluted Bleach: Use bleach mixed with a little bit of water.
- Wait: Allow the bleach to work on the fabric by waiting for five minutes. Observe the color change.
- Rinse: Rinse the t-shirt thoroughly in the tub to stop the bleaching process and remove excess bleach.
- Dry: Finally, dry the t-shirt. Voila!
This method combines applying pure bleach for specific patterns like swirls with using rubber bands and a diluted bleach mixture, followed by rinsing and drying to achieve an acid-washed look.
