Bleached Mustache Tee

 

 I bought this cheap Tee from Wally-World and wanted to do something cute with it that wasn't too CUTE. I mean lets face it. It is for a boy. He isn't going to want something too handmade looking. I wanted to make a mustache on it and I was trying to get away from applique when I came up with this idea. BLEACH!! Super easy and you probably have everything you need.

• 1. Plain T
• 2. Spray bottle for Bleach
• 3. Bleach
• 4. Sticky back mustache cut outs.
• 5. Large piece of cardboard

Step one. I drew half a mustache on an old envelope and then cut out two and ran them through the Xyron. There are a few other ways you could do this if you don't have Xyron. You just need a shape that will stick on like a sticker so that the bleach won't seep through. You could use contact paper probably, or spray adhesive.
Step two. Stick the mustache on. I used a ruler to make sure it was strait. Make sure it is stuck on all the way around.
Step three. Put a little bleach and water in a spray bottle. I used 3/4 bleach to 1/4 water. Stick a piece of cardboard in the shirt so that the bleach doesn't bleed through the back. I used an old cake board that I had left over. It fit perfect. Spray the shirt just around the design.
Step four. I used a blow dryer to dry it because I am impatient. Once it is dry it is done. Pull off the stickers and your done.
( I washed mine out in the sink before I laundered it just to get all the bleach out. )
