Looking for an easy project to spice up a boring t-shirt...
Here are 3 ways to try using MemoryMixer
Method 1..............................
Design your page in MemoryMixer using embellishments and alphabets!
Print out your design! Roughly cut around your designs and place them on your shirt to see where you want it positioned! (Take a picture so you can remember the placement you like)
Tape your design on to a light box or light source!
Fit shirt around your light source with the design showing through! Then trace with chalk or a colored pencil (we used a scripture marker).
After tracing put cardboard and freezer paper (or plastic) in your shirt so the bleach doesn’t seep through! Trace your design with a Bleach pen! If you mess up you can definitely fix that, for example the sun wasn’t supposed to be there but our bleach pen leaked and made a big mess. It looked terrible but then Debbie said to me, "why don’t you just make it a sun?" Yay! It is fixed!
Let sit until you like the color, most people leave it on for 10-15 minutes! I left mine for about 5 minutes! Then rinse it out in cold water!
Set out to dry!
*when you wash it in the laundry the first couple of times be sure to wash alone!
The possibilities are endless...Nicole made this shirt for her brother. She bleached the back first, then after it dried did the front the same way!
Method 2............................
On this his shirt we cut the design out of the freezer paper which created a stencil.
Then ironed it on!
Then sprayed it with a bleach water mixture! The freezer paper kept the bleach from spreading where I didn't want it.
Let sit for at least 5 minutes or when you like the color, then rinse in cold water! Then let dry!!
Method 3.....................
On these shirts we traced the design on the freezer paper and cut out the shapes and ironed them on to the shirt. We then sprayed with bleach and water mixture around the shapes.

Post a layout of the design on Facebook that you'd like to do on your shirt or better yet...post a picture of you modeling your Tshirt. Can't wait to see all your creative ideas.
HUGS AND KISSES,
