Read on below to learn how to make your own DIY Bleach Tie-Dye Halloween Shirt!

Here’s What You’ll Need

• A black t-shirt
• Decorative Halloween signs (I got all of mine from Dollar Tree)
• Bleach
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Spray bottles
• T-shirt form/cardboard insert
• Tape (this is optional, but highly recommended if you’re using the Dollar Tree decorative signs)

Here’s How to Make Your Own DIY Bleach Tie-Dye Halloween Shirt

To prep your shirt, start by taking your t-shirt form or cardboard insert and placing it inside the shirt. Lay the shirt on a flat surface.

Choose which decorative signs you would like to use for your shirt. I found lots of fun decorative signs at Dollar Tree that could be used as a fun design for these Halloween shirts. They work great for the bleach tie-dye since these signs are wooden. If you use a decorative sign from Dollar Tree, they do have holes in them for hanging, so you’ll need to cover those up with tape to prevent any bleach from getting through when bleaching the shirt.

Place your decorative elements however you wish on your shirt. Get creative with your design!

Once your design is laid out, pour bleach into a small spray bottle. No need to pour too much as only a little bit of bleach is required. In a separate spray bottle, add some hydrogen peroxide. This will be helpful in setting the bleach and preventing it from further spreading.

With your shirt laid out, spray your shirt with the spray bottle of bleach. Do not oversaturate your shirt with bleach.

As your shirt begins to turn orange from the bleach, immediately spray it with hydrogen peroxide once you are happy with the coloring.

At this point, gently remove the decorative signs from the shirt and slide the shirt form out of the shirt.

Next, place your shirt in the wash to finish setting your shirt. You can run it on a quick cycle with light detergent. Allow your shirt to dry completely.

That’s it! You now have a spooktacularly fun shirt for spooky season!

Isn’t it so fun?! It’s definitely a great way to get creative for Halloween!
