Hello, everyone, your little expert is online again. Today, I would like to share with you a magical idea: draw T-shirts with bleach.

I saw this in the mel science video, drawing on a black T-shirt with chlorine bleach, and then got a light-colored pattern. It's not difficult to understand the idea at all, but I still have to say that the person who thought of doing this is really a talented person.

this is the effect I tried yesterday:

(this is a 60% cotton blended T-shirt, relatively thin. The reason for choosing it is that it is the cheapest in the supermarket. )

below I'll tell you how to do it (it's actually very simple), but before that, I'd like to remind you:

① chlorine bleaching has an irreversible effect on the color of clothes, so please try it carefully.

② this method is only suitable for cotton T-shirts that you can risk, please do not challenge fabrics such as wool and silk, and do not harm expensive clothes _ (: wool "∠) _

③ operation pay attention to ventilation, touch the skin to immediately wash

④ this operation can not choose the pattern color, nor can it achieve completely uniform color. But mottled colors can also be seen as a style.

chlorine bleach (84 disinfectant, or similar product marked with sodium hypochlorite)

brush

plastic pad or folder

optional: you can wear rubber gloves during operation

first of all, you can draw a draft of the pattern on the clothes. The pattern I draw is the logo of my favorite band. The drawing powder is used for the draft (as shown in the following picture). You can also use a marker pen with white cloth, of course, you can draw directly, but it is more difficult.

(suitable for marking dark fabric)

after making a draft, be sure to put plastic pads or plastic folders on the inside of the T-shirt to block the liquid, otherwise the bleach will seep into the back of the T-shirt.

next, just pour out a small amount of chlorine bleach solution and dip it on the T-shirt with a pen. These sodium hypochlorite solution products bought from the supermarket can be used directly without dilution. There is no concentration on the package I bought. According to mel science, 15% sodium hypochlorite solution is used.

(the pen I use. This pen seems to have never been used to paint serious paint. )

wait a little while after the sodium hypochlorite solution touches the clothes, the local color will begin to lighten, and in my case, it will eventually turn light brown (different clothes may vary). After all the patterns have been painted, wait for a minute or two, and then rinse fully to dry.

what you should pay attention to in the process of painting: the discoloration of the dye here is an oxidation reaction, and the reaction takes time, so the discoloration effect will not appear immediately, it will take a while. The effect will not appear immediately when you first draw a stroke, so I suggest you draw slowly and wait for a stroke to show before you draw the next stroke. after all, a painting error cannot be corrected.

Dyes of other colors should also react with sodium hypochlorite, but I don't know what the effect will be. Anyway, you can try it with an old T-shirt if you are interested. The advantage of playing this is really very cheap, a large bottle of sodium hypochlorite solution is probably a little more than ten yuan, it feels like it can be used for a lifetime.

if you also want to understand why the oxidant sodium hypochlorite fades the dye of T-shirts, you can read the original text.
