    It might be that the fabric marker needed to be set with heat before washing! That has helped in a lot of my projects

      @PricklyAlpaca  Год назад +207

      I'll try that next time! It didn't have any instructions so I wasn't sure if I needed to do anything prior to washing 😅

    • @HomemadeCosplays
      @HomemadeCosplays Год назад +49

      @PricklyAlpaca I've even tried that technique with poscas on fabric, you just iron it a bit on the backside, works great on some fabrics, less on others heh, it's a trial and error at times and sometimes fun effects happen from it! (Like your flame two piece)
      Hope u can figure something out! 🤞

    • @seamonster6796
      @seamonster6796 Год назад +8

      I second ironing! I made my husband & I matching concert tees and ironed them right-side out with a pressing cloth (cheesecloth) on top and then again inside out. They've only been worn & washed twice so far but the paint & marker is intact except for the glitter effect (😢).
      Bleach can eat the fabric, so I would do the bleach stuff, then dunk shirt in water, then wring out & dunk in hydrogen peroxide, then wring out & water again (3 bucket system, 2 are water).

    i love your cloud skirt :0 its so pretty!!!
    i think with thrifted and second hand stuff, sometimes it doesn't bleach or take dyes well because it's taken a lot of detergent and softener build up over the years. i saw a tumblr post a week ago by prismatic-bell about how to kind of "reset" your clothes with a thing called laundry stripping where you put your clothes with warm water, half a cup of borax, half a cup of washing soda, and half a cup of laundry soap and then you leave it for 8+ hours and you put it in the dryer or hang to dry it
    i haven't yet tried it myself but it sounds really promising :0

    I'm so glad you tested them which so many people online do not! I've been very suprised when trifted t shirts of mine go some odd colours. E.g. a burgundy t shirt which when tested it went army green.
    I quite like using waterbrushes with diluted bleach. Worked super well without me needing to keep dipping a brush/risking drips getting everywhere.
    Edit: also beware too many bleach fumes in a small space. Open lots of windows or have a go outside.

    the AUDACITY of me to think that "oh that looks easy itll be fine" - thank you for sharing even your problems with this project, if i ever tackle something similar I'll keep some of this in mind lol!!
    but also: (I was wrapping gifts while watching so i mightve missed if you did this) people dilute their bleach to get different values!! they don't layer 100% bleach on top of one another but rather work from darkest to lightest wash while increasing the concentration :) ♥

    When I was using bleach on clothes, I carved my own stamps, loaded the bleach on them and stamped once, reloaded and did it again. That might have been a massive time saver if you ever do another shirt with a repeated pattern on it. I really see the teeth boots with the eyeball shirt!!!

  • @yasleigh3225
    @yasleigh3225 Год назад +3

    As a custom clothing artist, even when bleaching use a light white base coat for the colours to pop especially if the bleach hasn't lightened the fabric enough. The light white base coat is always used on dark fabrics and dark denim. And always heat set the paint afterwards. You did an amazing job though I always love you're work!

    some tips I have seen online if you do this again/anyone else is inspired: if your liquid bleach is bleeding in the fabric, you can also find bleach in gel forms in common cleaning supplies! The example I saw was bleach toilet bowl cleaner, but keep an eye out for other materials with bleach in them for different effects (and for sure always be ready to adapt !! bleach is a tricky mistress)

  • @maryssa_sings
    @maryssa_sings Год назад +1

    Quick tip: If you find yourself working with real wool (or real silk; expensive, but thrift stores have wild finds sometimes), do not use bleach. Wool and silk are protein fibres and bleach will dissolve them, as seen in the 'bleach test' for fibre identification.

  • @pamwaldron3504
    @pamwaldron3504 3 месяца назад

    To get the level of whitening and range of colors you want, try fabrics that are heathered colors on cotton/poly blends - 60/40 or 65/35 cotton to polyester. Dark and medium heather grey will lighten better than solid black which usually turns orange to pinkish at best.
    You can use an iron to speed up the bleach action by laying a pressing cloth over the bleach design and pressing, Then either do another round of bleach painting, or soak in hydrogen peroxide and water for 10 minutes, rinse in clear water and line or machine dry to do more painting later.
    Black dyed cotton is a challenge to get lighter than orangy pink/peach because of the dyes used to make the black.

    I love how the flame outfit finally worked out, it looks great, I think the eyeball shirt turned out better for adding the colour to the eyeballs on some of them, the thing with any paint pens is they need to be heat set, your heat gun should work as well as the iron.
    The moth tee I just love it, it’s the cream of the crop for sure as well as the little mini you wore with it. Both of them turned out stunning.
    I would love to see you do the painted items, I love the way you approach your ideas with the no idea it allows you the freedom to just got for it come hell or high water.
    Just keep being you and things will defiantly always shout out I’m hers 🤗🤗🤗
