    Wait 10-25 minutes for the bleach to start working. The gray shirt turned out so cute because it turned this pinkish color. I think it took about 15 minutes. On darker shirts it may take a bit longer for the bleach to start working.

    Once you are happy with the color take off the contact paper. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect. It makes it unique! Run the bleached part of the shirt under cold water and wipe most of the bleach off with your hands. Then wash your t-shirt in the washing machine.
