Dream #195 - To bleach and to dye shorts!

During summer season I always make it a point to do productive things. Fortunately, my sister saw this video in YouTube about a Do-It-Yourself project and I was so amazed of it. Since then I really wanted to try it out myself.

So when I saw some shorts in a thrift store, I bought it immediately and started realizing my dream - to bleach and dye shorts myself!

So first, I created a bleach solution by mixing two cups of water and one cup of bleach in a bucket. Next, I prepared the shorts and dipped it into the mixture I have prepared earlier. I let the shorts sit in the bleach solution up to my desired length. After I left it for 30 minutes.

Now the shorts have became white so I took them out and soaked it again in a bucket with two cups water and one cup vinegar for 5 - 10 minutes. After, I let the shorts dry. After that I wash it again in the water without using any detergent. I dried it again.

When the shorts is dry, it's time to dye! I dissolved the fabric dye into a gallon of hot tap water.


I wet the part of the shorts that I wanted to dye. I wore gloves when dipping the shorts into the bucket. For me, I kept dipping the shorts to reach my desired color. After, I wrung it to remove excess dye and I rinsed the part of the shorts which have been dyed with cool water. Then I let it dry. After that, I washed the shorts in cold water with detergent to set the dye. I dried it again and tadaa! My DIY bleached and dyed shorts were done!

Since I bleached and dyed too many shorts, my sister suggested to sell some of it. Now I'm selling it for a cheap price! Comment below if interested.
