I have missed your tutorials. This is another cool way to bleach a design. Now for the shirt you are wearing...is it cotton or poly ? Did you spray SEI tie dye on it? Thank you for ALL the wonderful tutorials I learn so much from you!

[@EmmasCottage]

I am assuming you mean the very first shirt I wore. That shirt is 95% poly and I used SEI dyes. So many say SEI doesn't work on Poly but I have never ever had a problem with mine. I have washed numerous times and they have not even faded.

[@AndreaH00ks08]

Once it got to your preferred copper color, did you rinse or do a peroxide bath before washing?

I rinsed and then washed with Dawn dish soap. You can do a peroxide bath instead if you prefer.

@@EmmasCottage you’re welcome

Check out Jones t-shirts. I love them. Also since you use your sink to rinse could you use a soapy bath and clean water bath in a bucket outside to stop the process?

You sure could! But I’d suggest adding peroxide to the water if your going to let them soak so the colors won’t bleed.

Hi Emma they are gorgeous and I intend to try it out because I love the way your shirts look. On another vein, the mask you’re wearing is dominantly a particle mask. You need a chemical mask to protect your lungs and sinuses. I work in a paint shop and we have both particle and chemical masks we use for varying parts of our job. Just a word of caution. ❤❤ oh! Also HTV Anything is great to add to items that don’t have sticky backs.😊 I love the way they all look, it’s hard to pick a favorite.

[@EmmasCottage]

Thanks so much for the info, this was the only mask I had around, it was better than nothing. I agree, not the certified type of mask to use if your bleaching for extended periods at a time. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@chantalleclaire2048]

Love your videos. All of the shirts look great. But using the squirt bottle definitely gave it more of a cowhide look. How would you go ahead with this process with out sun. I live in Canada so not much sun this time of year.

I typically will do a DTF print on those!

[@tamijohnson9870]

What is the decals printing on? absolutely love your videos

[@EmmasCottage]

I'm not sure what decals you are talking about? Are you referring to the Full Color Transfers? If so, here is a link to learn more about them! mycraftsource.com/ready-to-press//?partner=238074

[@marywoodtabar]

Have you ever used chlorine from a pool supplier? Are you using straight bleach in the bottle? I date any bleach product (when I open it) with a marker, because it does expire quickly.

[@EmmasCottage]

I have never used chlorine, only store bought bleach. Great suggestion with dating the bleach.

[@jackibrooksher2166]

How much peroxide in water do you use? I want to try this on a sweatshirt

[@EmmasCottage]

I didn’t mix any peroxide and water in this video. But if you’re asking about a peroxide bath its 1 cup peroxide per each gallon of water.

[@amandaterry3079]

What is the difference between full color sub and a regular sub print?

[@EmmasCottage]

I think you are referring to full color transfer and sublimation. Full color transfers have a white backing so you can place them on any Color background and most fabrics. Sublimation is transparent so it only works on light colors and polyester

[@AddictedNCali]

You are working in 80 degree weather. I wonder if I can cut my time down since we are 115 in So Cal or maybe I can get more of a bleach appearance. What would you recommend, more bleach or high temps?

[@EmmasCottage]

High temps are for sure what makes it process quickly. I also rarely dilute my bleach.

[@oonavega1230]

I love the way your shirts turned out! So cute. I do want to give you a heads up about the resin you purchased though. It’s really hard to get the UV resin to cure smooth and flat. It’s ok for small things sometimes. And if you use glitter that the UV light can’t get through, it won’t cure all the way through. If you use the UV resin and light and it doesn’t set up good and hard, set it in sunlight (do both sides) and it should finish the job. For your molds, might want to get some of the regular epoxy resin. Then you will need a cup turner and tumblers because one thing leads to another!

[@EmmasCottage]

Thanks so much for the heads up!! I truly appreciate it!

[@judybarrett2697]

[@qwertqwsd]

Hello Emma! How you got different colors by bleaching?

[@EmmasCottage]

With this method, you apply the bleach two times. Once the first application turns white, you apply the second application and then wash immediately to keep it a different color. Does that answer your question?

[@qwertqwsd]

@@EmmasCottage to get white color effect I need to dry garment in sun, right?

[@EmmasCottage]

@@qwertqwsd yes! The bleaching works best in the sun. Not all colors bleach so I always suggest a test spot.
