How To Bleach and Sublimate A Shirt | Start To Finish Bleaching And Sublimaton

[@beverlygisclair5298]

You can put butcher paper instead of the teflon sheet between the layers and it will not allow the ink to bleed to the back. You should also use butcher paper on top instead of the teflon sheet because if it bleeds through it is now on your teflon sheet and may transfer to your next project.

[@marilyntyler2139]

You are too cute. Your comments just bring a smile to my face. You make it fun and relaxing to watch you. I’m a grandma and I just love it when I can watch kind young people like yourself. Be blessed.

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Aww thank you so so much!!

[@haleyleal23]

Love love love the leopard sleeves!!! 😍😍😍 and whatever ink your using is sooo pigmented!! Absolutely perfect and so cute!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@tracystark7201]

Girl I love the shirt and I love watching everything u come up with and I can’t wait to try making one and I always love the little quotes u say after every live ❤️

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Aww thank you so much!

Awww that’s so sweet of your grandparents and your mama. May God continue to bless them all. “Me and my staff” 😂😂😂 definitely something I would do, loveeee how they came out!!

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Yes they are the best!! And lol I have pretty awesome staff 😂

[@ShayBeKillnEm]

I have some of these shirts, and was gonna do babies h test. But now I know they will look bomb! Can’t wait to bleach tomorrow. You’re living life on the edge with the Teflon sheet on the inside 😅 I learned my lesson when I had ghosting from a prior image on a my shirt. Now I use butcher paper or computer paper instead!

[@ruthbillings8820]

I love your t-shirts. Thank you so much for sharing. The shirt you are wearing in this video - I would love to have a link to the letters. Would you please share? 😊

Courtney you are so precious and love your tutorials! This is one of my favs! 🦋💜

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you so much!!

[@joycepugh5347]

Also love how cute that shirt is

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you!

[@charmainehoward1507]

Very cute shirt! 🥰 I recommend using a sprayer vs a spray bottle. Spray bottles wear out very quickly and stop working. The sprayers hold more bleach so you can do more shirts in a short amount of time. 😊

[@marikiemarie7622]

The spray bottle is cheap amd gives a splatter look. Sprayers give a mist. Totally different effect.

[@mrsbanditfromhell]

Hi Courtney. I hoping to see if you can do a video on bleach sublimation on a hoodie sweatshirt. With the cold days upon us. Thank you.

Thank you Krissie!

[@AndreaH00ks08]

I do have a few questions. 😅 Once you spray the peroxide on it after bleaching, do you let it dry before washing? And when you do wash, do you use cold, warm, or hot water? Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial!! Your shirts are SO cute!

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you! I don’t let the peroxide dry, and I use cold water 💜

Can I use 100% cotton shirts if I’m just doing vinyl on them but wanting the bleached look? Will it adhere just as well?

[@kwedgwood1000]

Love this. The shirt you used was not heathered? I was reading that you need to use heathered for the bleached area to be white? Which actual shirt did you purchase from Jiffy thx

[@bethbrown7380]

LADY!!!I love it. Are you going to sell sublimation designs. I don't have a sublimation printer and would love to make a shirt like that!

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you!! I don’t sell prints, but there’s a website called Lookin’ Sharp Subs that has tons of really great prints!

[@LisaMarie05]

Both shirts look awesome. Where did you find the Amuck design? I purchased one on Etsy that was identical but it ended up looking like a cheap screenshot and is unusable

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Mine was from Etsy as well

sorry a quick question so on this one you dont need to spray any thing before the image goose down? so in oher words can we sublimate on white cotton or a bleached shirt with no problems .

You made this look so easy. I've been scared to try bleaching. Can you sublimate a shirt without bleaching?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

It’s so much fun! And you can sublimate a white or super light colored shirt without bleaching. But if the shirt is too dark you won’t see the image

I’ve been wanting to do this but, instead of doing the sublimation I wanna just use vinyl then do the bleach over it.. I’ve seen someone try it that way and with the rit dye!! Super cute shirts!!!!!! That Hocus Pocus tumbler I’m working on would go great with the shirt!!!

what paper did you use? I also have the Epson 15000. your shirt is adorable.

Thank you! I used Hayes paper

[@ambercopenhaver-pb7sw]

Do you add Teflon in the sleeves so it don’t print to back? Same for the bleach?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Not for the sleeves. But when I bleached I did put a piece of wax paper between the shirt

[@ggc1131]

hi you said 60/40 is it 60 cotton 40 polly or the other way?

[@michellebaker2367]

so are you using the teflon sheet on all the stuff you do because everyone always says not to do that. Just wonding if you have had any bad luck with it? like it getting ink on it .

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Yes I use a Teflon sheet. I’ve never had any issues

[@savedbygrace2832]

How do you get your bleach to get so white? Mine dont turn out real white like yours and I leave on the bleach till its dry

[@tabathawilson2890]

Do you use straight bleach?also when you use the peroxide do you cover the entire shirt with that if you make other splatters of bleach on the shirt?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Yes straight bleach. And anything with bleach on it I spray with peroxide

What heat press are you using ?

[@alysiaricker747]

My sublimation looks dull. Is my heat too hot ? Recommendations say 400 degrees. But it looks like it's over heating. I have a full heat press not just the cricuit press .

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I would drop it down to 385!

[@jocelynnmckey5475]

what kind of bleach are you using? I did not get to see what it was in the video. Thanks.

[@CourtneysCustoms]

It’s just Great Value brand bleach

[@KP-hv4tt]

Girlfriend, helpppp. I order from jiffy too but the Bella canvas I ordered say 52/48 (poly being 48 just in case I did that in the wrong order lol) but I’m hoping they’ll work. Next time though is there a certain thing I should be looking for on Bella? They do say heather like the gildan colors but I wasn’t expecting only 48 for the poly count

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Try to find 60/40 counts. 60 being poly. 50/50 will work but it’ll fade a bit in the washer
