This post may contain affiliate or brand partner links. Read our full disclosure here.

I’m so excited that the 4th of July is just a few days away! I don’t know how we’re celebrating this year, but I know it will be fun! In the mean time, I’ve figured out what I’ll be wearing… actually I finished making what I’ll be wearing! I’m so excited to be rocking this DIY USA Bleach Tee this 4th of July!

A little bleach, some stickers and a basic tee all combine to finish in one awesome bleach tee! And it doesn’t take as long as you’d think either!

To make your own Bleach Tee you’ll need:

Basic Tee in any color.
Shape cut out – I used pre-cut letters, but you could use any shape in almost any size!
Glue Stick (regular school glue is perfect)
Bleach
Spray Bottle
Cardboard
Ruler

Directions:

Mix 1/2 bleach and 1/2 water in your spray bottle.

Pull out the letters you plan on using. Gauge your spacing and placement using the ruler.

Carefully add a thick layer of glue to the back of your letters. Place the letters on your shirt and press firmly. ( I placed a book on top of the letters for about 10 minutes to ensure a good seal. )

Place the cardboard between the layers of your shirt and move to a well ventilated area.

Layer your shirt flat with the cardboard in the middle and spray your your shirt with the bleach/water mix. Give it a good spraying and then wait a few minutes. Spray a few more times.

Once you’re happy with the way the bleach is effecting the color of the tee, carefully remove the cardboard and peel back the letters.

Wash in a cold cycle immediately. Dry normally.

    I’m dropping by from the Dream Create Inspire link party. This is such a fun idea. In fact, you could have any word or design for your t-shirt. I’ve pinned this so that I can remember to do this!!
