DIY tie-dye bleached shirt and skirt

For this DY I decided to tie-dye bleach an old vacation Bible school I found that no one was using. You will need the same items you used for the DIY tie-dye bleached jeans.
 
 
This is the lightweight denim shirt I started with.
 
I tied rubber bands all over it but instead of placing it in a bucket this time I laid it out outside and used bleach in a spray bottle.
I kept checking on it every fifteen minutes and spraying it with bleach and turning it around until I was satisfied with the color. Then I threw it in the washing machine with no detergent and finally the dryer.
This is what I ended with.
I'm still trying to decide if I want to put some accessories on it like studs or chains or just leave it as it is.
 
 
I also had a denim skirt I got from Goodwill. I decided to bleach it as well but to use another method.
This is the original Old Navy skirt I started with.
I then laid out the skirt on the grass and sprayed the bleach at various angles and different spots.
Then I threw it in the washing machine and finally the dryer.
And this is the final product!
 
 
So now you can see how different methods of using the bleach result in different looks. It's all about finding the one you like.
