How to DISTRESS a t-shirt | Full Easy DIY Tutorial

[@n3k0lai]

tryna distress a shirt and this video was super helpful, thank you

[@TeamHutchens]

Great idea for those boring shirts! Watching this while grading papers @ 3AM

[@AlliRoots]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@tmgretz]

Yay! Alli Crafts!! Super excited for your new channel.

[@AlliRoots]

Toni Gretz I’m so excited to make ALL THE CRAFTS! 😂. Poor Ryan is terrified of glitter time

[@mayganingram8583]

I just love watching you on both channels! your so down to earth and kind!

[@shannyr816]

I've really been liking the distressed tee shirt look lately, but I had no idea how to do it and make it look good. Thanks for the video. Now I'm going to try this with my daughter.

[@AlliRoots]

That's awesome, I bet she'll have so much fun!

[@kidsfashionpassion]

I am so excited about anything no-sew!

[@AlliRoots]

KFP Fashion Boutique no sew is the BEST kind of clothing craft 😂

[@jennlknnc7135]

I'm happy that you started this channel 🦄

[@AlliRoots]

Jenn LKN NC thanks Jenn! I really needed to step it up and I live for crafts 😊

[@elainevinton3720]

You could never be boring! Cute shirt, thank you!

[@AlliRoots]

Awww thanks Elaine! 😊 I was worried about that actually 😅

[@Sunshine33333]

OMG Allie, this was excellent, do your talents ever end? Such an inexpensive fun project. Between your videos and RALLI ROOTS videos, I'm not getting anything listed LOL Keep up the great content, you are a pleasure to watch!

[@AlliRoots]

Liftingoverfifty hahah!! Awww thanks so much!!

[@Gulfcoaster100]

***BIG Eye Roll *** Seriously?

[@jenleigh743]

Love it Alli!!! I watch Ralli Roots every morning. I will be watching the ALL ALLI videos now!

[@AlliRoots]

Jennifer Neumann haha yay!!!

[@Nana_Tink]

It came out so much better than what I anticipated. Love it. Please, more videos.

[@AlliRoots]

Thanks so much!!

[@DeLadysigner]

Yeaaah! Your first own video! You are SO good! Im gonna be your biggest fan now 😉 hahaha! Keep it up girl!

[@AlliRoots]

DeLadysigner hahaha! Aww thanks for the ❤️, it’s so appreciated! First ever KZbin video and edit, Ryan did clean it up quite a bit 😂.

[@Mamachickys]

Congrats Alli. I loved it. I’m going to buy GW shirts and do this with my kids this weekend. Looks like fun. I’m subscribed!!!

[@AlliRoots]

MAMACHICKY S that’s so exciting!! If you have Instagram send us pictures! You’re going to be the coolest mom EVER! ❤️❤️

[@thecollegepicker]

Turned out great! Love it! Craft channel is gonna do well! 👍👍👍

[@AlliRoots]

thecollegepicker Hey Eric! Thankss! You’re such a great guy being all supportive! All the ladies in your life are lucky to have ya! One day my crafts will be as exciting as you and Ryan’s vlogs 😂

[@TechTherapyGuy]

Awesome!! Good luck in your new KZbin channel Alli!!!

[@AlliRoots]

ManuelCwems thank you, I’m going to need all the luck for editing 😂😂

[@TechTherapyGuy]

Alli Crafts lol don’t stress about it! I’m sure you will do great editing!! Looking forward to see more of your videos!

[@maryjodavis71]

First off, I binge your videos at work all the time. Even my co-worker recognizes your voice as well as Ryan's! haha ANYHOOO, I saw this channel mentioned and thought I'd check it out. I was so skeptical of this craft, but truly, I really liked it. It reminds me of distressing jeans, but it looking really cool and controlled. You need to make more ASAP. I like how you're just kind of winging it because you like it. To me, that's what DIY and crafting is all about - making it how YOU like it!

[@AlliRoots]

Thanks so much Mary! I realized I have comments that my replys never saved too so sorry about that!! But i truly appreciate your support!

[@Perpetual_Kid]

My daughter's gonna love this channel 🖒🖒🖒

[@AlliRoots]

Aro2252 I’m so excited to share alllllllll the crafts!

[@randomlyawesomeness7251]

Love it! My kids and I are going to give it a try!

[@AlliRoots]

YAY!! More Alli! Glad you finally dropped the blonde modelesque hulking Adonis who's so sweet he gives me a toothache. (Best Joey Tribbiani impression here...) How YOU doin? Wait. What? You DIDN'T drop him? This is only an additional channel that you have added to your repertoire? Criminy. I wish I would've known that BEFORE I purchased a one-way ticket to Florida. Oh well, at least there'll be more Alli videos. Too friggin' adorable.

[@AlliRoots]

Barkey McCheesepants Mwahaha!!!! Omg I’m laughing so hard I think I sacrificed a few tears to the gods of hilariousness! But, don’t get a refund on that ticket, come visit! I mean, when we go to Atlanta we’ll FINALLY get to meet you and the family anyways 😂

I used to have a shirt with horses and lightning on it. I wish I still had it so I could send it to you to turn them into unicorns. :(

[@ButterflyHustles]

Love your craft channel

[@AlliRoots]

Thank you so much!!

[@vicky3980]

Super cute tee! I'm trying to figure out a cute way to make a t-shirt more roomy in the belly area. :D I was thinking of maybe sewing a strip of contrasting fabric down the sides kind of in a triangular shape so the tee gets bigger towards the hem? I guess I can try it on a tee I don't care about before I ruin the ones I want to keep. I have the same dryer in stainless, btw. Got it at Salvos for $200! Can't wait to see more crafty videos!!! :)

[@AlliRoots]

Vicky omg you got a steal! I’ve actually seen someone sew extra fabric on the sides of a shirt and it worked out really well! If I was better at sewing, I’d try it but it would probably take a few fails on my end 😂😂

[@vicky3980]

Awesome! I'm going to give it a try. Can't wait to see what your next project will be. :)

[@HaleyReadsDaily]

Yay!! Love this Alli!!! ❤🦄

[@AlliRoots]

Haley Roseberry thanks Haley! Unicorn power! 💗🦄🌈

[@deanna.online]

Awesome so glad you got your own channel for DIY!! Can you do cutoff distressed shorts out of jeans? ❤️❤️❤️

[@AlliRoots]

That's a perfect idea for a video!! yes, I will try and find a pair of jeans while thrifting every time we go and make a video.

[@bray6881]

i dig the style! 🤘🏼 i didn't know u had this channel so i'm about to binge watch all the videos. 😁😂

Hey Alli I have an urgent question for you. I need to repair the “bridge ties” from Dept 56 Tower Bridge of London. Can you help me? Yes, it’s for EBay. I practically need to reinvent the bridge ties on the half of one side of the bridge. Google it, I can’t post a pic. They are painted metal. Thank you in advance for your valuable information!!

"How to rip jeans properly" is what i'd like to see next. I always get mine looking weird .

[@AlliRoots]

I'll have to experiment, its a very time consuming process so I've avoided it lol. To make one hole it took me over an hour in the past

[@Rickyfyied]

Alli Crafts I’m so lazy I just cut the legs off to make them shorts and deal with the crooked legs. 🤣

[@AlliRoots]

lmao!

Alli Crafts aww thank you ! i just did a “test one” yesterday && working on a new one today , i think i figured what techniques i liked best ! So glad I got the idea from your channel please make more videos when you get the chance 💞✨☺️really enjoyed this one

[@karinthue7480]

Love it! Just finished a trial T-shirt! Came out pretty good. Does bleach work best on black tees? Have you tried any other colors?

[@AlliRoots]

Yay for a trial run! Bleach has the most contrast on dark colors, navy blue, charcoal and black. But it still looks very cool on other colored shirts, its a different effect bc less contrast. Let me know if you try one how it turns out, I have a hot pink shirt I want to distress

[@leniere309]

YES BE VERY CAREFUL WITH BLEACH, I worked at a hospital and it was my job to fill the bleach bottles for the nurses and cleaning staff, the bleach was undiluted, one day I dropped a bottle without a lid and the bleach splashed up into my face hitting me in the eyes, by the time I could get treatment the black tee shirt I was wearing had turned white where it splashed, I ended up with my eyes covered for 3 days luckily I lived at the hospital. I like the video, Cheers and a thumbs up.

[@AlliRoots]

Oh my gosh that's an insane story!!! I know, I wanted to throw it there to be careful with bleach just to remind everyone that its a harmful substance.

[@CherokeeMaiden81]

Hey Alli :) I haven't seen any ads on your channel yet and I was wondering if it's monetized yet? You definitely have enough subs, but are you short on hours???

I am lol but that's ok, I just love making crafts and inspiring my crafty friends to make some too :P

Have you ever faux painted your walls?? I once painted my walls in my dining room a soft gray and rag rolled them with silver. The result was stunning but, it took me forever to complete the process. This is another Alli Roots successful production.

[@AlliRoots]

I'd love to try out some faux wall techniques, I'm just always worried I'll be disappointed with the results and sad about the time I've lost but I should take a chance! It's worth it if I love it

[@theresagross3523]

[@ms.barrett4167]

Giiirl! I almost couldn’t find your channel because your cover photo does not look like you whatsoever. I thought there were more than one “Alli Crafts”. Girl, please use a real picture of your already beautiful self 👊🏼❤️💯, especially for your fans. I’m not kidding when I tell you I had to triple check than just ended up clicking on here and BOOM! here you are! Your fans already know what you look like, No reason to put a picture up of what you want to look like. It’s not a good influence on your young viewers.

[@ms.barrett4167]

Set an example.

[@AlliRoots]

I'm not sure if you realize what you said and how you said it was very back handed and hurtful. I deleted the photo because its's 10 years old and I really do need to change it, I agree. But thought you should know. Also the additional set an example was very nasty but thank you for your feedback. I didn't realize I was hurting young viewers....

[@AlliRoots]

btw this is a photo of me one of my best friends took, a long time ago. It was incredibly awful of you to say no reason to put up a photo of what I want to look like, that is me. Thank you for the insult though, it inspired me to go and change it finally.

[@Gulfcoaster100]

Too wordy. Don't talk as much. This video could have been done in three minutes.

[@AlliRoots]

If you don't like this style of creativity, my channel is not appropriate for you. Also, if you want a fast straight forward video, try watching tiktok videos. They're short and too the point with minimal speaking. I promise you if I was interested in making 3 minute long videos, I would make tiktok vids and not spend time on youtube.

[@Gulfcoaster100]

@@AlliRoots Creativity is the keyword. No matter how long you make this video by talking, the creativity is sorely lacking. You don't have to "splain" to me about TikTok as it's been around a long time now. I know it well. If you were doing a video that teaches high skills or techniques, then by all means take time. But cutting tshirts and spraying bleach on it??? Come on. I wasn't trying to upset you - just giving you feedback. Check out your youtube reports and see for yourself who watches it in it's entirety. yawn. One last thing, it's also obvious that you are doing these crafts for the FIRST TIME and recording it as you are doing it for the FIRST time. Also, not everyone has a "DAD" to do the heavy stuff. Do EVERYTHING yourself otherwise it's lame.
