I know I have mentioned that I love Bleach Pens for taking on trips
and cleaning the grout in my tile. I have wanted to try making some
crafts with Bleach Pens for a while. This week I made some Holiday Napkins with my Bleach Pen.
Here’s what I did:
I used .99 bandanas from Hobby Lobby and then sewed two colorful ribbon to the bottom of the bandanas.
Then I got my Bleach Pen out. I drew some initals on the napkins and
let them sit. It depends on the fabric you use and how bleached you want
your monogram.
If you look on the back of your material, you should be able to see
the monogram coming through. Be sure not to leave the bleach on too long
— it can eat all the way through the fabric.
I waited about 20 minutes and then I rinsed the napkins out under the
tap with some soapy water. My monograms are still a little pink. So I
probably could have waited another 10 minutes or so to get more
contrast.
Once they were rinsed out, I popped them in the dryer.
Then I ironed them and put them on the table.
My kids thought this was a pretty fun project! They want to try t-shirts next!
And if you want more definition around your monogram, you can also trace around the letters with a black paint pen.
