Clara... I'm a 40 year old man with no interest in butterflies or stenciling shirts. I honestly don't even know how I stumbled upon your video, to be honest. However, I was thoroughly mesmerized throughout the whole thing.
I'm not one to be into butterflies or stencils myself, but my Mom loves them. So, I will do butterflies for her and bring you along with me. Thanks for watching.
I loved this idea... Honestly, I was thinking to myself, no way, bleach? That’s going to run like a cheap pair of tight pantyhose 😂🤣 But I was into it! Love the positioning of the butterfly too! Maybe next add smaller butterflies or a rose 🥀 ❤️
That came out soooo Awesome sauce ur Momma is one Lucky Lady! Happy Birthday to her may it be great one.. We are 🦋 lovers over here!! I've already had at least a dozen butterfly chrysalis!!😁💞 Keep staying healthy & well..
@@ClaraLawrence soft shirts are the best soooo glad she lived it 😁 I keep meaning to visit the one near us I've heard the gardens are sooo Beautiful & then off course the butterfly area is breathe taking.. Yes, a dozen at least this yr & those have all become Beautiful 🦋 we still have plenty to still come I'm sure I Luv watching them..
Is the iron neccasary or does it just speed it up, also how long should you leave it after bleaching do you just wash as normal or leave for a few hours to develop ? Great video I can't wait to give it a go with my own stencils
I have the Sam's exact question. It seems like by ironing, you prevente the textile from damaging even more. O It seems like that is why some people wash it right away. But I am not sure either
The iron stops the bleaching process at that point but can continue to damage clothes unless you neutralize it. Follow these directions for after to prevent that. th-cam.com/video/JAgY3GbZWP8/w-d-xo.html
I so loved your technique! I must have missed what is the amt or ratio of bleach that you used? Thank you for this and I can't wait to try this at home with my daughter.
Thanks. I used our grocery store brand of bleach and watered it down just a little with water. Sorry don't have the ratio. Maybe a 5:1 if I had to guess.
Clara, this turned out beautifully!! I bet she loved the subtle design and especially the signatures. If my daughter gave me this, I would totally cherish it.
Thanks so much. This shirt is 100% cotton. If you want to try a different blend do a test. Adjust the iron accordingly. (look at the settings) Be sure to be in a well ventilated area.
Greetings from Texas, Clara. 🙋♀️ This is my first time on your channel. The result you got with your mom's butterfly blouse is just the look I really really want. So thank you for that. 💛 1. I'm totally trying to avoid that reddish/rust color bleach look. So, if you use lighter colored shirts, do you get that whiter bleach result? 2. What was the material ratio in the blouse you used? 50/50 cotton/polyester? 100% polyester? 3. If you do use a light or dark t-shirt, what should the material ratio be? 4. After you ironed both the butterflies, is that when you gave it the hydrogen peroxide bath? How long in that bath? 5. If you do use a dark or med. colored t-shirt, will you always get that reddish bleach color? I've probably got many other questions. 😂. Could you do a whole step by step video of bleach painting on lighter and medium colored shirts (from start to finished product)? That would be a Godsend! Thank you for any information you can share with us. Take care and God bless.
I'm not going to answer all of your questions and this is why. Each shirt color from each manufacturer is going to be a different color blend. Knowing all those reactions implies that I have done a million shirts which I haven't. I go for 100% cotton shirts. The reddish/rust color is common but not exclusive to black shirts. Sometimes you don't get that reaction. It is a quick process and I will spend a short amount of time on the design, use the iron to see the result if needed and then move immediately to the peroxide to stop the reaction and then wash completely with soap and water. Check out this video for the peroxide solution. th-cam.com/video/JAgY3GbZWP8/w-d-xo.html and I learned the hard way if you don't use it. I get the material completely wet in the peroxide solution and let it sit for about 30 seconds and remove, go to the next piece and repeat. Then take them all to the wash.
This is a great video! I want to try making a couple denim shirts with a couple stencils made from freezer paper. How hot was the iron and I think you had the paint brush in peroxide, did I hear you say? Also, what does one do to stop the bleach from eating through the fabric--do we have to wash or rinse it? I want to make a couple for a fundraising event. Thank you:)
If you would use spray on fabric glue on the back of your stencil you would have had a better impression. Just a little helpful suggestion. Love the butterfly.
The template did not stick to the shirt. Several have suggested a spray adhesive to help with the stencil clarity. Because I did a light spray there wasn't any seeping underneath.
What kind of vinyl did you use for your stencil? Also how did you get the adhesive part off of it? I was trying to make stencils with permanent adhesive vinyl and I had a hard time.
It is a purchased stencil and I'll be honest I didn't adhere down the stencil. It was a quick spray. Didn't spray that much liquid so it soaked in immediately and didn't run underneath.
No I didn't. I had a board that had a padded fabric panel on it (for ironing) under the shirt. I used this because I knew the iron would be used. Plastic might melt. But if you do this outside and let the sun bake on the bleach a little you don't have to worry about the plastic sheet in the shirt.
Best way to do the dots or splatter is dip a toothbrush in bleach hold toothbrush in hand and use your thumb and push bristles down and let them up and they will spring forward releasing bleach onto the fabric
That too works great and sometimes I do that. Today I didn't have an extra toothbrush handy. I love the dots and splatters a toothbrush will make. Thanks for sharing.
Use adhesive spray for stencils to stick to ur shirt then spray w bleach so they don't left the spray cleans off wen u wash ur shirt.n wash ur stencils w a wash cloth or in ur sick so u don't get any running bleach on ur shirt n desighn
That is a broad question. I would test a tiny piece of the fabric if you are wondering. If you line up several brands of black shirts for example and apply bleach, the colors remaining will vary depending on what colors are in the black. If in doubt do a test.
I'm making a shirt for a lady friend and she wants her name on the back how do I do the stenciling along with the tie dye I'm going to use the scrunch pattern
It should. The iron just stops the whiting out process, so I can see it. But you can just spray and move on to the next area and wash when you are done.
It might or working out in the sun. Haven't tried it. My friend showed me this trick and she did amazing paintings on fabric. Be sure to be in a well ventilated area.

Awesome
Love the shirt. I think I need to try this. Is the T-shirt all cotton or does it matter?
Thanks so much. This shirt is 100% cotton. If you want to try a different blend do a test. Adjust the iron accordingly. (look at the settings) Be sure to be in a well ventilated area.
Very beautiful👍

This turned out beautiful! First time I have seen anything done with bleach and I will definitely give it a try! Love all your crafts❤!!

Thank you so much Great Job!! turned out beautiful
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Nice job. what temperature was your iron on and did you wash with detergent right afterwards or did you just use the rinse cycle and then dry. thanks
Thanks so much. It was at a cotton setting. I do a peroxide bath first (in a container) then wash th-cam.com/video/JAgY3GbZWP8/w-d-xo.html
Love this
Thanks. It is super easy to do.
Aw..aw..awesome..😊
Thanks 🤗
Love this! Where did you find the Butterfly Stencil???
Thanks. Here is my affiliates link amzn.to/3OTsMyL
This is great! Much easier than painting or tie dying. What was the iron set on? Do u have to iron for it to work?
Thanks. You do not need an iron, you can use the sun. I had mine set to cotton since this was a cotton shirt.
Excellent turnout
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Lovely
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I love this video! great job, I have been wanting to try this out! 👍👍👍 where did you get the big stencils?
Thanks so much. I get them on Amazon. Here is my affiliates link. amzn.to/3brre1i
Thanks for the link.👍👍👍👍
HEY Clara, JUST wondering how would it turn out if you used a roller. JUST WONDERING
If you use a thickener in your bleach. I believe Dharma trading sells something like that. Otherwise spritzing it is super easy.
Very nice 👍
Thanks I appreciate that.
Great idea .Was it pure bleach you used?
Greetings from Texas, Clara. 🙋♀️ This is my first time on your channel.

Would have loved to have seen it on so we could see just how it looked! Fascinating idea though!!
It was a surprise. Mom had a stroke a few years ago and doesn't want to be filmed. Sorry. She loves it and wears it often.
Happy Birthday, Mom.
Awe thanks. She loved it.
Did you use the iron on it and then put it straight in the dryer or did you rinse it with cold water first then put it in the dryer?
I did iron it, then a peroxide bath (in a container) then into the wash it goes. th-cam.com/video/JAgY3GbZWP8/w-d-xo.html
Hi, thanks for sharing❤️ I have one question. Did you dilute the bleach with water or used 100% directly from the bottle?
You are welcome. Thanks for watching. I did dilute about 1/4 water. My bleach is super strong. Learned the hard way.
Wonderful idea 😊❤️👍. Did you burn your arm?
This is a great video! I want to try making a couple denim shirts with a couple stencils made from freezer paper. How hot was the iron and I think you had the paint brush in peroxide, did I hear you say? Also, what does one do to stop the bleach from eating through the fabric--do we have to wash or rinse it?

No mention of how to stop the bleach from eating thru!
Yes you need to do a peroxide bath to stop the bleach. th-cam.com/video/JAgY3GbZWP8/w-d-xo.html
I do have a video on that. th-cam.com/video/JAgY3GbZWP8/w-d-xo.html
If you would use spray on fabric glue on the back of your stencil you would have had a better impression.
Just a little helpful suggestion. Love the butterfly.
That's a great idea. Usually I paint the bleach on, so no spray glue handy. th-cam.com/video/Y85JDvBKSAg/w-d-xo.html
How beautiful. I had to laugh when someone said, " I smell bleach." I'm glad my husband isn't the only guy who states the obvious.
Question do you wash the shirt before you dry it love the shirt be blessed new sub I like the feel of real everyday people
Yes, wash your shirt in a peroxide bath. (can be in a small container) th-cam.com/video/JAgY3GbZWP8/w-d-xo.html
BEAUTIFUL! I never heard what was in the spritzer...was it a mix of bleach?
My attempts have always bled.
Thanks. Bleach thinned out a little with water.
how do you stop it from bleading and spreading bleach through the stencil my bleached shirts look like blobs
This is beautiful! When washed, how does it keep from bleaching out the entire shirt/load of clothes, and losing the design?
I neutralized the bleach with a stop solution. Check this out. th-cam.com/video/JAgY3GbZWP8/w-d-xo.html
@@ClaraLawrence Thank you!
Where did you get the butterfly please and thank you for sharing it with me
The butterfly stencil came from Amazon. Here is my affiliates link amzn.to/42E2reW
Does the template stick to the t shirt? How do you keep the bleach from seeping under the template?
The template did not stick to the shirt. Several have suggested a spray adhesive to help with the stencil clarity. Because I did a light spray there wasn't any seeping underneath.
Lovely. Is the top 100% cotton or linen? Nice effect!
Thanks. This was 100% cotton. If you want to try something different, find an area to do a small test on it. Be sure to be in a well ventilated area.
Hello, question.. what type of paper are you using that you placed on that shirt?
There is a plastic stencil and sheets of plastic (drop cloth) that I placed over top.
Did I miss something, You mentioned peroxide?? & was it dried first to set the design prior to washing??
Peroxide neutralizes the bleach. And given that you're removing color rather than adding it, you don't need to let it set.
Nope not before. It would hinder with the bleach. I did that after. th-cam.com/video/JAgY3GbZWP8/w-d-xo.html
You are very correct. Thanks for helping.
Is that a dry iron and not a steam iron? Thanks Clara
That was a dry iron. Thanks for watching.
What kind of vinyl did you use for your stencil? Also how did you get the adhesive part off of it? I was trying to make stencils with permanent adhesive vinyl and I had a hard time.
It is a purchased stencil and I'll be honest I didn't adhere down the stencil. It was a quick spray. Didn't spray that much liquid so it soaked in immediately and didn't run underneath.
Can you add color to the transfer after the bleach? Just lightly in some of the pattern like you did the sprinkle around the butterfly?
Sure could. I know of a couple of artists that would do that vary thing.
Did you put the plastic under the stencil in between the shirt and stencil ??
No I didn't. I had a board that had a padded fabric panel on it (for ironing) under the shirt. I used this because I knew the iron would be used. Plastic might melt. But if you do this outside and let the sun bake on the bleach a little you don't have to worry about the plastic sheet in the shirt.
Best way to do the dots or splatter is dip a toothbrush in bleach hold toothbrush in hand and use your thumb and push bristles down and let them up and they will spring forward releasing bleach onto the fabric
That too works great and sometimes I do that. Today I didn't have an extra toothbrush handy. I love the dots and splatters a toothbrush will make. Thanks for sharing.
Where did you buy stencil? Love it
I got that on Amazon. Isn't it gorgeous?! Here is my Amazon Affiliates link for it. amzn.to/3gDeqne

Can u use any kind of t shirts and color t shirts too with bleach
That is a broad question. I would test a tiny piece of the fabric if you are wondering. If you line up several brands of black shirts for example and apply bleach, the colors remaining will vary depending on what colors are in the black. If in doubt do a test.
💕
I'm making a shirt for a lady friend and she wants her name on the back how do I do the stenciling along with the tie dye I'm going to use the scrunch pattern
❤🔥☄️
Would have like to have seen a link for the tshirt as well. Pretty color
To be honest with you I picked up the t shirts at WalMart. She loves greens and it caught my attention.
If I don't have an iron? Will it still work the same?
It should. The iron just stops the whiting out process, so I can see it. But you can just spray and move on to the next area and wash when you are done.
Is the shirt dry? I tried to to tye dye with a stencil and it came out horrible
The shirt was dry when I applied the stencil. The bleach would have bled badly into wet fabric smearing the stencil design.
Where can I find the butterfly stencil

Would a hair dryer work if I don't have an iron? I work in scrubs and my casual wardrobe is wash & wear, hence no iron.😅🤷🏻♀️
It might or working out in the sun. Haven't tried it. My friend showed me this trick and she did amazing paintings on fabric. Be sure to be in a well ventilated area.
What temperature should the iron be on?
I had my iron set on cotton, but be in a well ventilated area.
