Bleach pen graphic tees (attempt #2- success!)
Back in January, I attempted to follow a Pin I found on Pinterest. The Pin showed how to revitalize old tees by adding bleach graphics to them. The first attempt at three different t-shirts failed. I have since discovered that only the Clorox Bleach Pen for WHITES works. The other bleach pens are not strong enough to bleach colors. This time I only attempted one t-shirt to see if it would work. The bleached out color was a surprise, but it did work. Now I can use this technique on other things – old canvas bags, placemats, tablecloths, etc…
