I have never ever watched an tutorial video I enjoyed this much!! You're able to explain me everything I wanted to know, while creating this beautiful video (and you're really funny and amazing talented too!) I will continue watching everything for sure ;) - this is my first reaction under a video ever.. Keep creating beautifull soul ☀

Honestly I read this 10 days ago and have still just been basking in disbelief - you taking the time to comment something so heartfelt has changed my life 😭 I mean but truly - grateful for you.

[@ickyvicky7139]

tysm for posting this! finals has been super hectic and i barely had to time to make my friends and family Christmas gifts. one of my projects for my friends completely went wrong and i'd been working on it for two weeks! I have to get my gifts done before Christmas break starts! I was feeling really discouraged, when i thought of another gift idea i'd had awhile ago. bleach painting a shirt. I mostly work with graphite or watercolor. with that said, im extremely use d to with working light to dark so i was intimidated by how bleach painting seems to work in reverse. I appreciated how calming and welcoming your approach was to teaching us how to use the medium. I feel way more confident in my self and more motivated to take it slow and to do the best I can! I hope to start on it tomorrow after school. tysm again!

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Aw I would love to see what you made! I am wishing you all the luck with your gifts and I’m sure they will be loved and appreciated!

[@nurnissaahanova261]

are you supposed to only wash it once with hydrogen peroxide or does soaking it in cold water for 10 min and then throwing it in the washing machine work?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

If you are going to wash it right away then you don’t really have to do anything else.

Hi ! I decided to bleach paint a hoodie as a gift for my boyfriend. Can you give exact informations on how to wash it for the first time ? And for the next washes ?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

I usually wash it alone on cold for a speed cycle, you can also add hydrogen peroxide to the garment directly or the wash. After the first wash it has always been ok for me to wash w/ others.

[@skyward360]

[@sparky1907]

Once the bleached shirt had dried (i did not use hydrogen peroxide, i only soaked it in cold water) does it safe to wear, does it irritates skin or leave burns on body?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Hmmm I usually wash it with soap and it is fine. Truthfully, I have never soaked it in just water so I cant say for certain. I would say that it depends on how much bleach you used.

[@sparky1907]

@@TheHollyDaisy pretty big amount, (maybe this is stupid) but do dry bleach is active again when in contact with water when re-wetted or after it dries once it all evaporated?

[@jaypixxel]

such a good tutoriall!! just want to ask do you use thick or thin bleach for your bleach painting??

[@TheHollyDaisy]

I tend to use the soupy thick bleach, it is the formula that claims it spills/drips less I think. That seems to hold its shape best.

[@TheHollyDaisy]

also thank you :-)

[@Otakuwench904]

Do I spray hydrogen peroxide while the bleach is wet? Do I wash the garment while the bleach is wet or do I wait for it to dry? Do I throw it in the washer with or without laundry detergent?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Hi! Questions 1 and 2, you don’t have to wait for it to dry. Question 3, I usually use a small amount of detergent on quick wash but I would imagine it would work without it as well. Happy making 😋

[@mauipuddler813]

♥️♥️♥️

[@CNormanHocker]

What is the brand of bleach you use?

[@noaffliction]

Do these designs like fade out over time or is it fully permanent ? Sorry if this is a dumb question

[@TheHollyDaisy]

No dumb questions ever! They won’t fade because you are permanently removing the dye from the fabric - however the corrosive process of bleach can cause fabric to decay more quickly over time (aka holes in your fabric). Which is why you want to avoid thin fabrics and wash the garment when you’re finished. I hope this made sense and helps!

[@JoanneLucas-cm1wr]

Hi Hollis great video. A couple of questions for you. Should I wash a new item before bleaching ? And should item be dry or wet when painting on the bleach 🙂

[@TheHollyDaisy]

hi there! I don’t bother with washing before unless it feels dirty. Also, painting on dry fabric will leave you with a crisper image. Once the fabric is wet the bleach disperses for a different look that is more similar to water color.

[@neuni232]

Hey, nice tutorial! I just didn’t really understand, why one would need to wash it with hydrogen-peroxide. Is it to save the material from damage, or to keep the colors of the bleached parts?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

It is just an option. I really just throw it in the wash but you can also spray with hydrogen peroxide too. It stops the corrosion of the bleach. & hey thanks

[@saudenried]

I had planned to dye a 50 % polyester 50% cotton sweatshirt , what are your thoughts ?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

the 100% cotton isn’t a strict rule, it just helps me when I am looking at the thrift store. If you test it and it works than go for it :0

[@probablyolly7974]

Hey! For the bleach solutions do I just mix the bleach with water? I saw someone mix with fabric softener, do you know what works best?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Water works for me, I’ve heard people having luck mixing fabric softener with paint tho when painting on clothes. It makes it less likely to crack.

[@37dicks70]

if i'm bleaching my jeans, should i put cardboard in the legs so that the bleach doesn't bleed through or is that not really an issue?

[@ashleylazaro9]

Always put something inside that protects the other side of the clothing. Cause it would most def bleed tru if ur using a lot of bleach

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Hi! I notoriously never put cardboard in between the layers. I have only had it bleed with t-shirts but to be safe you probably should. I am just lazy artist.

[@fancyp0ny.animations873]

Can u dye the clothing after bleaching it? Sorry I'm new to this :)

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Yes! Some people call that reverse tie dye

[@sproutsprite]

I'm kinda confused with the bleaching process, like how do you prevent your clothes from getting holes? From looking stuff up online people said to spray hydrogen peroxide and others said to just paint for 2 hours and immediately wash the clothes. But what if I wanna work on the whole thing the same day? 🤧 Do I just keep spraying it with hydrogen peroxide every two hours if I'm still working on it?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Hmm thank you for the question! I have spent 10 hours with projects and only washed them on quick wash, didn’t add hydrogen peroxide. That being said I make sure I’m working with thick fabrics or denim. If you’re needing to work with a thin article then I would follow those guidelines of 2 hrs/ hydrogen peroxide. However if you’re choosing a solid fabric then I would work on it as long as you’d like just making sure not to leave it over night. I hope this helps

[@onionarmpit]

I tried bleaching my jeans but it didn't work 😔 They're 72% cotton and 23% recycled polyester so I don't think it's the Jeans. Might be because I used Mr.Clean bleach, I don't quite know. Any tips?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

As long as the bleach isn’t chlorine free it should be fine. You could try another bleach brand but it could also be that the jeans are treated with something.

[@shitassgenics7247]

Woow really cool, but i can't figure out how to make that beautiful purple color. Idk if anyone else reads this but if you know how to do it pls tell me the secret recipe 🙏

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Because every garment is dyed differently, it makes it a little harder to predict how it will bleach. It is kind of like a treasure hunt, every piece of fabric will bleach differently depending on the dyes used to make it. For example, I have had brown garments that bleach bright purple, pink, orange, beige etc.

[@solange.57]

What kind of brushes do you recommend? Specifically.

[@TheHollyDaisy]

synthetic! uhm other than that go crazy

[@bacanatorgamer8407]

🤗Hi! Thank you for your tutorial! I am going to bleach paint a hat. Do I need to wash it with peroxide? Or do you think I could spray peroxide after and leave it without the fabric corroding?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

I think if you spray it, you will have to rinse it off. Theoretically spraying it thoroughly ‘should’ be enough but I tend to always throw things in the wash to make sure.

[@lana_ames]

What kinda of masks do you recommend using?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

I’ve been using an old N95 which seems to work well - a proper mask not just a cloth mask makes a difference

[@froggydraws_24]

your an amazing artist!! question: does it matter what kind of bleach you use or can you just take anything and mix it with water?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

thank you so much! yes it does, avoid chlorine free bleaches, they do not work for this. I use Clorox no splash bleach, some people say to just use the regular version of Clorox. Both have worked for me!

[@wildatartjam]

I have found my youtube goddess. Thank you.

[@gxstyyyy]

so if you don't mind not preserving brush strokes, do you still have to use hydrogen peroxide?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

I hardly ever use hydrogen peroxide. I just provided it as an option because it will stop the bleach from corroding. But washing it does just the same.

[@mrjersez1155]

Can you dye the Beach spots with vibrant colors?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Totally, i believe they call it reverse tie dye

[@trystalebow2998]

How does the polyester affect the bleach?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Hmmm - i am unsure of the specific chemical reaction between the two. Theoretically, polyester should bleach in the same way but with trial and error I have found that most of the time the depth of color removal is far less or non existent when compared to cotton.

[@kye_atlas4246]

Can u just do it outside for the ventilation part

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Definitely better outside

[@azraa3879]

can we use fabric whitener instead ??❤

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Hmm never tried! Let me know if you try it out. I would imagine regular bleach is much stronger.

[@roybrauski9409]

What happens if you just bleach and dont rinse after with anything

[@TheHollyDaisy]

One time I left something and after 3 weeks of forgetting about it it disintegrated in places the design is. Depends on the material. I often test bleach on fabrics with a little dot and don’t wash it or rinse it. Those dots are usually fine unless it’s a flimsy and thin material

[@i_cant_jimout1207]

What should I use if I don't have soap to sketch with?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Your imagination :-) you could use chalk? Honestly finding a piece of soap, or buying one for some change seems like the most accessible.

[@kiianahilario7642]

should i wash the bleached hoodie with half a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and throw it in the wash on cold?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

You can if you wanna be extra safe! Washing it has worked fine for me but If you wanna be extra sure or if the material is very delicate it could be worth it. I make so many that I would just cruise through hydrogen peroxide so quick it would be annoying if I did that

[@michaelward9403]

So you use regular bleach or office any kind of pacific bleach?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

i use clorox no splash bleach but you could use regular bleach from other brands. You just want to avoid any bleach that says “chlorine free” because that wont work. hope this helps!

[@ikuyoshiii]

Kinda scared cuz what do i do once im finished? Like how will i wash it?

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Wash it alone on short cycle and you’re good to go forever - if you feel extra anxious just squirt some hydrogen peroxide on top of your design before you throw it into the wash. It will fizz and bubble but your design will be ok!! This is just the process of bleach and hydrogen peroxide converting into salt water which won’t corrode the fabric

[@thatonepunkguy]

How long should you leave the bleach on after painting it? Sorry if this was answered in the video lol im dumb sometimes

[@TheHollyDaisy]

no worries! Once it looks how you want, you pretty much want to wash it immediately. The longer you leave it on, the more it will corrode and risk too much damage.

[@thatonepunkguy]

@@TheHollyDaisy awesome, thank you so much!

[@belieberzare102]

Hey! I’m wanting to paint a black hoodie with bleach for my fiancés birthday later this month but I’m wondering if the bleach damages the fabric and how to avoid that if possible? I’m writing this before watching so if the answer is in the video I’ll delete the comment. 😊

[@TheHollyDaisy]

Bleach = corrosion and what is happening is that it breaks down the original dye, so technically adding any bleach is damaging it. You can help by 1. Using thick quality fabric 2. Not leaving the bleach on overnight 3. Spraying it with hydrogen peroxide before you throw it into the wash (it will foam up because it is breaking bleach down into salt water) Good luck!

How do you seal it with Hydrogen peroxide? what percentage Hydrogen?

You are not really sealing it, you are breaking down the bleach by pulling apart unstable oxygen molecules. You can use the 3% you find in drugstores.

[@ninnin22ninnin]

[@TheHollyDaisy]

It’s gunna be ok don’t worry! Wash the garment alone and cover the design with hydrogen peroxide before for extra assurance. When you add hydrogen peroxide the combination will bubble but that’s ok because it’s just converting bleach into salt water.
