Spray Method
This method is the same as the one used on the front of the shirts: iron freezer paper stencil to the shirt, insert cardboard into shirt to avoid leaking, spray with bleach, remove freezer paper, and wash shirt. At first I hated the way this turned out. It looked very messy to me, especially since some of the adhesive from the original design remained behind. But I grew to love the way it looked. I found it to be very rustic or even salvaged looking – much like a shirt from a fishing district in a dystopian society might look.
Bleach Pen Method
Hubby was not impressed with the results of the spray method so I used a different method with his shirt. This time instead of spraying the bleach on, I used a bleach pen to fill in the template. The result is a more defined looked which my husband preferred.
I like these changes. What do you think? Feel free to leave a comment.
Very cool! LOVE the Hunger Games series!!
Thanks! I loved the books so much! Making the shirts was so fun. 🙂
After seeing your post title under your comment on the THG post on SITS girls, I had to see this. Such an awesome idea!
