Bleach on fabric tutorial - Stencil Revolution Here is my Bleaching Tutorial, exclusively for Stencil Revolution members. In 2002, I was hired by a small clothing company to invent a process by which we could produce images on garments that would be more “tattooed” into the fabric than screened on. I immediately thought about bleach and began two years of research and testing. Chemically, to achieve different values, I worked with retardants to slow the process of the chemical’s effects, I watered down mixtures, I used “stop-baths”, dehydrated bleach crystals… you name it. So, here is the big secret, just for S.R. members. Contributed by Phelyx. I have finally completed this simple tutorial and am pleased with the results. This Japanese Koi design was created specifically for this tutorial. There are a few basic need-to-know items and suggestions that I can offer. First: bleach will not work on most synthetic fabrics. Second: I use Duralar material (.005) to create my stencils. Third: Cheap bleach is fine. I cheat sometimes.

Create Sand Art in Recycled Containers It may not be the 1980s anymore, but it is summer. But really, do you ever need an excuse for kitsch? Sand art, the practice of layering colored sand into glass jars, may seem a little nostalgic, but I assure you, it’s still around. However, children’s sand art kits tend to be very eco-unfriendly, with their inclusion of plastic containers instead of glass, and the other main outlet for sand art, the wedding market, can get pricey fast. Fortunately, with the generous use of natural, recycled, or stash components, you can make sand art that’s eco-friendly, practically free, and centered on your own personal style. The first thing that you want to look for is a container that can be recycled. You can make colored sand, buy it new, or, if you’re lucky, thrift it (our six pounds of rainbow colors came from Goodwill), but to make it go farther, you can alternate layers with some of your stash craft supplies. Completely beautiful, completely personal, and completely natural. About the Author

mini tutorial: vintage looking signs first off, i just have to say you have entertained me for the past few days with your comments! everything from laughing and agreeing with my sentiments about the tree, to stories about how much more crazy you are than me, to touching stories of memories of when your mother finally gave in to the ugly tree, or your memories of how awesome your mom was to let you have your stuff on the tree.whatever the case... thanksmy family and i had a blast reading your comments! :) ready to see ONE of the things i've been working on? (yes i'm working on seasonal projects too and will show those later on next week possibly.)okay.so i like "vintage" looking things. if i can get my hands on the real thing it's like christmas no matter what time of the year it is... but too often that doesn't happen, and if i do come across something, it's too expensive for me to feel good about it.so i decide to make my own. what you need first:wood. old barn wood if you have it. with chipped paint even better.
