I like the shirt! Cut it up! Put some holes in it. I think if you leave the bleach on longer, it will turn more white if that's what you wanted. But I think it turned out great with how you did it!!!
To get the mineral wash effect without it turning orange you have to use screen printing ink mixed with water. In effect you’re actually adding white not removing color but it looks closer to the intended mineral wash effect.
This gave me an idea to 'flip' some old boot cut jeans that I never wore. It not exactly short weather here in the UK so I cut them off at the ankle and now they look like ankle grazer frayed mom jeans 👍🏻, super pleased now I have two new pairs of jeans 😊
Crop the arizona black shirt like the first one. Will take care of that middle smudge and i think will look supper cute with one of thos denim shorts for park days or something
Omg please film a video when you buy a pair of good fabric scissors! You’ll be ahhhmmazed at how much better they cut and how much better you can do with them!! 😎
Crop & cut the sleeves off the Arizona shirt to make it a tank!! It’ll be super cute!! Esp with your kinda grungy w/ bike shorts kinda style sometimes!
I love you!!!!! You are such an inspiration! You made me be way more comfortable in my body after a lot of years of hiding it because I thought it was awful! I love fashion and now I can experiment with clothes without being as self conscious. Thanks you for spreading positivity in all aspects!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Damn girl those first pair of shorts 🔥 Okaaaayyy girl I see you, that second pair too 👌🏼damn I’m jealous. I genuinely think I’m the only person who cannot cut or rock shorts like this :(
I actually liked that last t-shirt but you could also try to crop it so there is less bleach on show🤔 by the way I loved this video💙 Lots of love from Finland 😊🇫🇮
The mineral wash shirt came out cute! It would look really nice with a navy blue shirt too. Now I'm gonna binge watch mineral wash tutorials 😂 I always look forward to your videos. You're very, cool, body positive and insightful! 💗
Rebecca Blashock same here! I don’t know how people can wash stuff with bleach and not ruin their clothes, it gets all over me and I’m always super careful! 😞
As a 27 year old who has no idea what the hell she is doing with her life, I find you completely relatable & encouraging!! You do you boo boo!! **Edit: As I sit here getting wine drunk watching this, I wish GoodWill was still open so I could wine drunk the shit out of these DIYs!!!**
I used to work at a Levi’s and if you are a women buying men’s pants (i love turning them into shorts because they make your bum look so good lol!), then you want to go up about 3 sizes. So if you are a women’s 30 (size 10) then you will want to get a men’s 33.
I was very interested to see how that mineral wash was gonna work out. Honestly, the shirt doesn’t look as bad as you think. Maybe add a tie thingy on there like you did the first shirt and I bet you could fix it.
Cant believe your 31! and I mean that as the biggest compliment you look like a fresh 21 year old! whats your secret haha! Also you can get relatively cheap fabric scissors on amazon they will change your life! xx
Get a ROTARY CUTTER and a CUTTING BOARD! It will make your life so much easier!! And they are not as expensive! Cutting your clothes would take seconds and you'll get super clean cuts.
Oh. Get some Gingher sewing shears. I don’t use mine all the time but they are FANTASTIC when I do. I waited until I found a Michael’s 50% off coupon and then pulled the trigger. Just make sure you ONLY cut fabric with them. Paper and other projects will dull your blades. The target scissors get all those jobs.
Carrie, time for a "Big Sis" intervention. Remember how you talked about your pet peeves in a vlog? One of them was people mispronouncing words. Well, definitely NOT trying to be mean but you gotta talk to Alexa. She says singe instead of cinch. Help her out girl! Love you, love your pretty princess pooch more!
This popped up in my "you might like" column this morning...That T was so ahead of it's time! Bleach tiedye is all the rage in 2020-2021, well done Carrie!
1) you look incredible! Your hair is perfection 2) I love these DIY videos! 3) I actually really like that Arizona shirt. The back turned out cool. Maybe it just looks good on camera? The front, maybe do the tie in front and make it a crop like the first one and it’ll “cover up” the big splat? Am I the only one who thinks that?
Omg I love your personality so damn much! Amazing job on the shorts! You made me laugh so hard this morning which I definitely needed this morning thank you for that! Maybe the top needed to be wet when you put the bleach on for a more gradual affect? Not sure! Have you ever tried bleaching denim shorts? Xo, Joy or upcyclejoy all over lol on insta, depop, mercari.. . Lol you know the drill. About to get some coffee in me and go garage-sale-ing! Hell yes!!!
You should cut that last shirt that you DIYed mineral washed and cut it in that crop, tie style and cuff three sleeve a bit and it could be super cute! Cause the mineral wash looked good on the upper half. Or you could keep it long and do those fun back cut outs. You know the ones... there are lots of versions and variations. Sooo many tutorials on TH-cam of course and it would be cute for a throw on or whatever. I honestly don't think it turned out that bad. I think now that you have an idea of how to fo it and how it works, that you'll for sure get it right next time! All those shorts looked great on you!! I've never shopped in the men jeans section when thrifting and idk why! I just know that I'm now wanting to run to goodwill and thrift my little heart content in men jeans that i can cut off! Cause that's the style im looking for...but its impossible for a size 12, 6 ft tall, lady being like myself lol to find! So im super excited now to go thrifting! I also am inspired to find some midi skirts from your videos too. I love maxi skirts and sun dresses and a midi seems like a mix of those 2 things. Maybe a little flowier than a maxi. They're super cute on you! Think they'd be cute with just some berks and a cropped tee..but could definitely dress them up with heels and blouse or maybe bodysuit. So I'm excited to go on the hunt at goodwill. We've got very similar body types...except I'm even taller lol. So I've never gotten so many ideas that'll actually work for my body, who has a similar eneogh style to my own, from a youtuber before. Pretty stoked. Lol.
I’m a size 6-8 and I fit in men’s sizes 32-34. 34 if I want them more comfortable in the thighs and hips (since we ladies tend to have them bigger than men’s) and they make the BEST shorts for the summer.
I loved the video. I am always nervous cutting up clothes. I really want to bleach a bright pink sweatshirt to white, but I am worried the black words will turn an odd color. Please film a video reviewing Casey Holmes online boutique Rosie Daze for curvey girls.
There are some people who believe that inclusiveness is not right. And thats their opinion. There are people that want to put hate towards others. And that just wrong. Thanks carrie for everything u do in ur vids!!!! And for making ur opinion shine a light. Im sorry for my randomness thats just who i am. I think.........✌🏻
You could do thrift flip fix videos. For the times you make bleach fails or funny cuts? Happens to me all the time! I'd crop and tank that Arizona shirt, add some rips or fringe it upp!
Googling mineral wash, one said you spray the shirt with water before you use the pumice stones... maybe a damp shirt might have turned out better. [the others I saw used screen printing ink and pebbles] One option for stuff like that is to use a scrap piece of fabric or get a shirt you really don't like to test the diy on before you do it on something you like. (can't really do that with cutting stuff, but you can when it calls for something like bleach). Maybe if you want to see if using the pumice stones on a damp shirt makes a difference you can just try it on the same shirt... who knows, maybe it'll make something you like better? Just a suggestion. (I've never tried to do a mineral wash, but anytime I've tried to do something with bleach it usually ends up not working and turning an odd colour.)
I dont know if you'll see this comment because it's an older video but for the shirt you could turn it into a reusable grocery / produce bag ! So many of my old shirts I've turned into bags and there is no sewing required! Just YT it it's super easy!!
love this! your thrifting videos have inspired me to make my own cut off shorts using men’s jeans, i wear them all the time now! keep making these thrift flip videos 👍
I just have to say... i think we're definitely thrifting soul sisters! Whatever that is! Lol! If you are ever going to come across the border into Canada you will have to come do some power thrifting in my area. I swear, you will lose your shit at the cheap prices at the thrift stores here!
You could do the mineral wash DIY again, just dilute the bleach water before soaking the stones. Add like a cap full of bleach to the tub of water and then soak the stones. Might take a couple of tries to get the exact look you want but better than over bleaching straight away. 😂
Cute the Arizona shirt :) it would be cute to cut it like you did the blue one!! just an idea! You inspire me to go home and DIY some things i have had in my closet for way to long :)
Are you diluting the bleach before you use it for your projects? Household bleach on its own is really strong and from the looks of it you were using it pretty concentrated. Diluting it more will give a more subtle effect. Also, the shirts turning orange has to do with the undertones of the dye originally used to make the fabric so if it’s going to turn orange there’s not much you can do to fix that. Maybe try a test spot of bleach on the inside of the collar before hand to see if it will turn orange or not. Hope this helps for any future diy-ing!
I know this is an old video but if you still have the shirt you could do the crop tie effect. That big blotch of bleach would be where the U-shape that you cut out would be maybe. I love watching your videos.
ive never heard of the stone method for the bleach but normally when ive done DIYs with bleach it's a bit easier when its part water and part bleach. also that way the bleach wont work as fast but you'll still get the affect.
You should cut the sleeves off of the arizona one, crop it, and use fabric pieces to tie the front of each strap. (Idk if that makes sense) but it'd save it!
i know im a couple months late but ive "mineral washed" a shirt as well or reverse tye dyed with using bleach and i put it in a spray bottle and diluted it with water so 1) it didnt work as fast and 2) the effect was less harsh! i think you could do that on this shirt to add more bleach to it and make it look a little more intentional and then you can leave it sit for a lot longer as well so the dye can get out of that orangey tone and into something a bit lighter. if not, its a good tip for next time and it worked really well!!!
If you dilute the bleach with some water and then let the bleach soak into the shirt before you rinse it off it will eventually turn white. I've done bleach tie dye this way.
I like the shirt! Cut it up! Put some holes in it. I think if you leave the bleach on longer, it will turn more white if that's what you wanted. But I think it turned out great with how you did it!!!
"I did it for a DIY video, remember when that was a thing."
Me: isn't that what I'm watching?!
Shelby Williams *ironicly* noo.. this is a THRIFT FLIP😑
I honestly thought the same thing 😂
That's the point. She was being sarcastic and making a joke lol
Yep.
Yesss Carrie! Also, your hair looks so cute parted to the side like that!!
Carrie during the mineral wash fail is me every time I try to DIY something. I'm dying!
You should just try to crop the Arizona tshirt above the worst spots 😁
My thought exactly!!!
Yes, get a very sharp pair of scissors and only use them for fabric. I have been sewing for 50 years. You are so pretty. Hugs Donna
A rotary cutter with a cutting board is so much easier to use!
Loved this! Make this like a monthly thing! ❤️❤️ also the Arizona shirt doesn’t look bad at all! Crop it like the first shirt you did!
That's what I was thinking if she crop it it might actually be cute
I too thought to tie where the orange blob was!!
To get the mineral wash effect without it turning orange you have to use screen printing ink mixed with water. In effect you’re actually adding white not removing color but it looks closer to the intended mineral wash effect.
I couldn't stop laughing during your mineral wash moment 😂😂
Omg me too. I love to laugh and needed this
You should try the first DIY again with a bigger shirt! I think this one turned out super cute but more fabric would help the tie situation happen lol
HOW ARE YOU 31?!?!
Girl, you are beautiful and I love your videos! 😍❤️
Can you make a video trying different ways to mineral wash to see which ones works best??
I’d totally love that
LMAO I WING ALL MY PROJECTS TOO
“its gonnna look like an Ed Hardy shirttt”😂😂 had me dead
Love it I distress my jeans scraping them on a cheese grater, works but watch your hands lol x
Idk, I'm digging that mineral wash shirt! Crop it and maybe do some little tears on it, is could be SUPER cute!
This gave me an idea to 'flip' some old boot cut jeans that I never wore. It not exactly short weather here in the UK so I cut them off at the ankle and now they look like ankle grazer frayed mom jeans 👍🏻, super pleased now I have two new pairs of jeans 😊
Crop the arizona black shirt like the first one. Will take care of that middle smudge and i think will look supper cute with one of thos denim shorts for park days or something
Omg please film a video when you buy a pair of good fabric scissors! You’ll be ahhhmmazed at how much better they cut and how much better you can do with them!! 😎
Crop & cut the sleeves off the Arizona shirt to make it a tank!! It’ll be super cute!! Esp with your kinda grungy w/ bike shorts kinda style sometimes!
Actually love the mineral wash shirt! As a crop top that would be great! Any way I can purchase? BTW I live for your videos!!!! So amazing!
I love you!!!!! You are such an inspiration! You made me be way more comfortable in my body after a lot of years of hiding it because I thought it was awful! I love fashion and now I can experiment with clothes without being as self conscious. Thanks you for spreading positivity in all aspects!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Damn girl those first pair of shorts 🔥
Okaaaayyy girl I see you, that second pair too 👌🏼damn I’m jealous.
I genuinely think I’m the only person who cannot cut or rock shorts like this :(
I actually liked that last t-shirt but you could also try to crop it so there is less bleach on show🤔 by the way I loved this video💙 Lots of love from Finland 😊🇫🇮

I am a bleach phobic...I've screwed up good clothes while cleaning. :(
Thanks! ;)
Rebecca Blashock same here! I don’t know how people can wash stuff with bleach and not ruin their clothes, it gets all over me and I’m always super careful! 😞
I LOVE THE MINERAL WASH SHIRT, its my favourite diy and im probably going to do it asap!!
“it’s gonna look like an Ed Hardy shirt” 💀
omg you look especially beautiful in this vid 🤩
As a 27 year old who has no idea what the hell she is doing with her life, I find you completely relatable & encouraging!! You do you boo boo!!

For distressing jeans and shorts, I’ve found that a nail buffer makes it so easy. Nail buffers are literally $1 at Walmart
Iv always used a cheese grater lol x
I love the shirt!!!! I’m so confused
I actually really like how the shirt turned out :D maybe you could try and cut it or tie it in the front if you don’t like it this way?
try making a crop (tishirt?) top out of the 'Arizona' one?
I laughed so hard I cried when you were doing the mineral wash shirt. You're so funny! A+ for effort.
This was so fun! I love taking secondhand clothes and personalizing them. Please do more of these!!!
Cant believe your 31! and I mean that as the biggest compliment you look like a fresh 21 year old! whats your secret haha! Also you can get relatively cheap fabric scissors on amazon they will change your life! xx
*you're 31.
thrift flips from you are my favorite! can’t wait to go thrifting for summer clothes
I love how honest these thrift flip videos are! Everybody makes it look so simple but I mean... it's NOT!
7:02 are those space shorts? because......
My favorite shorts are jeans from a thrift store that I flipped! 🙌😊
That last shirt turned out SO COOL!!! I’m about to do a thrift flip on my channel
Get a ROTARY CUTTER and a CUTTING BOARD! It will make your life so much easier!! And they are not as expensive! Cutting your clothes would take seconds and you'll get super clean cuts.
EXCUSE ME UR 31?!?! WHAT ON EARTH I legit thought you were max 24. You look fucking incredible.
Yayyyy! You’ve inspired me to thrift and upcycle my clothes - hello $4 shorts from men’s jeans at goodwill instead of buying $35-40 pairs!!! 🙌🙌
Oh. Get some Gingher sewing shears. I don’t use mine all the time but they are FANTASTIC when I do. I waited until I found a Michael’s 50% off coupon and then pulled the trigger.

Just made 3 pairs of DIY denim shorts from my husbands old jeans and OMG my favorite! Love that men’s jeans are automatically high waisted!
This popped up in my "you might like" column this morning...That T was so ahead of it's time! Bleach tiedye is all the rage in 2020-2021, well done Carrie!

I think if you cut the Arizona top into a crop it would be cute

Joanns fabrics has 40% off coupons. I used one for a really really sharp pair of German fabric scissors! Highly recommend!! Love your videos!
Am I crazy for thinking the bleached shirt actually looks kind of awesome??
If you don't like the excess fabric above the tie on the dodgers shirt just make your U higher to pull it in.
There are some people who believe that inclusiveness is not right. And thats their opinion. There are people that want to put hate towards others. And that just wrong. Thanks carrie for everything u do in ur vids!!!! And for making ur opinion shine a light. Im sorry for my randomness thats just who i am. I think.........✌🏻

love this! your thrifting videos have inspired me to make my own cut off shorts using men’s jeans, i wear them all the time now! keep making these thrift flip videos 👍
Girl just distress the Arizona mineral wash shirt! Add some holes and partially tear off the collar! It’ll look great!
This is the BEST video idea! You are a genius! Thank you for your wonderful content!
Remember when diy videos were a thing???.... as she is diying clothes LOL 😂
I just have to say... i think we're definitely thrifting soul sisters! Whatever that is! Lol! If you are ever going to come across the border into Canada you will have to come do some power thrifting in my area. I swear, you will lose your shit at the cheap prices at the thrift stores here!

Fabric Sheers will seriously change your life!! only use them for fabric or they will dull!!

Maybe try a test spot of bleach on the inside of the collar before hand to see if it will turn orange or not.
Hope this helps for any future diy-ing!
Maybe try using black/grey dye on the shirt for a few minutes so the bleached part picks up the dye?
What if you used black dye to cover the orange spots? That might give it the more mineral wash look!
I know this is an old video but if you still have the shirt you could do the crop tie effect. That big blotch of bleach would be where the U-shape that you cut out would be maybe. I love watching your videos.
When you put the dog poop bags on your hands I about died LMAO you’re amazing!
You can try to fix the t-shirt with some fabric dye! There's a lot of options now with fabric dye, and they can get rid of a bleach stain.
I really like the scissors from IKEA. Check them out if you ever go to IKEA.
I actually think the bleached shirt would be really cute cropped.
Honestly I think if you cropped that mineral wash t-shirt and distressed the neckline/sleeves a lil bit it would look badass
You kill me... “might be the ugliest shirt I’ve ever worn” 😂😂
ive never heard of the stone method for the bleach but normally when ive done DIYs with bleach it's a bit easier when its part water and part bleach. also that way the bleach wont work as fast but you'll still get the affect.
You should cut the sleeves off of the arizona one, crop it, and use fabric pieces to tie the front of each strap. (Idk if that makes sense) but it'd save it!
Okay wait I don't hate that mineral wash shirt??? The stomach looks a little funky but I feel like if you cut that off it might make a cute crop top
You could try cropping the bleached shirt and maybe even making it into a tank top. It might be cuter like that :)
I love your videos! I was just about to go get some dad jeans to cut at Goodwill, this video couldn’t have come at a better time! You rock!
Love this type of video!!! Your hair is always soooooo cute! Plzzz do a tutorial on how u style your hair!!!!
Sleep in the shirt and I loved everything else. You rock!!!
I think it would be cool if you dyed a pair of shorts! Maybe like the same green color as your guess vest?
I bought fabric scissors from target for like 20 best purchase ever makes cropping shirts soo easy
To get that T-shirt to be grayer, try dying it black. The bleach parts should turn gray instead of staying orange.
i know im a couple months late but ive "mineral washed" a shirt as well or reverse tye dyed with using bleach and i put it in a spray bottle and diluted it with water so 1) it didnt work as fast and 2) the effect was less harsh! i think you could do that on this shirt to add more bleach to it and make it look a little more intentional and then you can leave it sit for a lot longer as well so the dye can get out of that orangey tone and into something a bit lighter. if not, its a good tip for next time and it worked really well!!!
Cut up the Arizona shirt like the first one with the ties. You might be able to hit it right on that big spot you don’t like & salvage the shirt!??
I actually think the shirt turned out good. I am seeing it as a crop now with the really frayed shorts you made.
The mineral wash tee would be super cute as a fringe shirt or tied up in the front!
when I cut jeans I love to cut the scraps into strips and knot them into dog toys. My dogs love them more than the store bought ones!
If you dilute the bleach with some water and then let the bleach soak into the shirt before you rinse it off it will eventually turn white. I've done bleach tie dye this way.
I still love DIY videos ☺ BRING BACK THE DIYs lol!!
