Easiest T-shirt DIY, AZTEC Design

Here is goes. SO simple its crazy. Take a plain boring shirt. (I got this one at Walmart for 8$) Then google some "Tribal" or "Aztec" images, and find your inspiration.


I happened to have a bleach pen on hand, but sadly it was old and didn't work.
I couldn't find a bleach pen in this stinking little town (which quite honestly smells horrible most days), but I wasn't giving up, I mixed up some bleach and baking soda until it was a craft paint consistency.  Make sure to place a folded garbage bag inside the shirt so it doesn't go through to the back.  DON'T USE A GOOD BRUSH, and Just start in the center then work towards the outside.


If you are as clumsy as me you will want to splash a little bleach around the shirt (you know, so it looks like you did it on purpose, wink)

I want to wear it everyday, comfy, and cute.  I've gotten several compliments already and no one believes I made it.
I shared it here:

    How did you get the white lines on your shirt that you traced with the bleach? Is it chalk?

    How long do you let it set before you wash the shirt? It is so cute! I love it.
