lay the shirt flat on a table and pinch it in the middle. twist that shit clockwise and once its fully twisted put rubber bands around it. put some bleach in a spray bottle with as fine of a mist as possible. spray the shirt with enough to get it damp, but not soaked through. remove the rubberbands, untwist, rinse it in a bucket of cold water, wash it by itself.

there might be a better way to do it but thats what i did and it looks just like the pic.

did you get it wet before you put the bleach in? And did you wash it immediately after bleaching it or let it sit like you would with normal tie-dye?

i kept it dry so the colors are really defined. and i let it sit probably 5 minutes before washing it.

thats the only picture i have.

For other patterns, try googling tie dye folding techniques. there's lots out there that could look cool with bleach.

I've had good luck folding them like an accordian. you can mess with different angles on the shirt.

this bleach concept looks awesome.
