Anyone who knows me knows that I say, "oh dear" too much and with this new craze over "deer", I thought it would be fitting to put the two together. So here it is, my version of the very popular bleached shirt diy with a silly pun! Oh dear, indeed... So here's what you need:
{ i n s t r u c t i o n s }
1. stick your piece of cardboard underneath your tank top - this is to ensure that the bleach doesn't bleed through the back.
2. cut out your stencil and don't worry about being overly precise & accurate!
3. tape your tank top to your piece of cardboard so it doesn't shift around and then tape your stencil to where you want it on your tank top.
4. grab your paint brush, dip it in bleach, and paint away!
I added an extra touch to my tank top by free-handing a banner with the words "oh deer" and also doing a couple paint spatters, which can be done by simply flicking your paintbrush a couple inches away from your shirt. Get creative! There's so many different ways to make this diy uniquely "you".
This diy has quickly become one of my all-time favourite tank tops and I've received sooo many compliments and "where did you get this?" comments. So I encourage you, do your own twist and get a fabulous, unique, one-of-a-kind piece for your closet! You won't regret it :)

ReplyDeleteyes! that's definitely recommended as you don't want fresh chemicals on your skin :)
Deletecan be other colors?
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! I'd love to do the deer stencil, is there a print off for it?
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to find the exact one that I used to print out... but here's a link to one that's really similar! :) I blew it up in photoshop and printed it on cardstock. Hope that helps!

How do you get the lines so sharp? I just tried this and my deer ended up as a shapeless blob because it seeped through into the surrounding fabric under the stencil.. I even used as little bleach as I could, but still the lines wouldnt stay sharp. Is your bleach solid, like paint? Mine is pure liquid, maybe thats why ? :(
