A New Tree Tee

This was just a plain green t-shirt that was handed down to me. Since I have plenty of plain t-shirts I decided to try something on it that I had seen on another blog. I used a bleach pen to draw a design on it. I went with a tree because the shirt was green. I learned a couple of things on this little project. First of all, if you're going to do a big design, like I did, then make sure to work in sections. The bleach works fast, so it will bleach out the part you start with quickly and then look a lot lighter than where you finish. I had to go back over where I ended to make it more even. Also, make sure you have a full bleach pen. The one I started with wasn't full so I ran out halfway through which made it kind of spit out bleach at the end and get some spots on the shirt. As you finish the section you're working on just rinse it in cold water to get the bleach off and then lay it out to dry.
I'm happy with the finished product because I know that noone else will have something like it and it was free.
