Last time i went to a hottopic store i found a pair of pants that i liked, but sadly i did not have $30.00 to spend on them. So, i was digging through my closet and found a pair of pants i got for $3 from the thrift store. So, i decided to make my own pair using rite dye, bleach, and thrift store jeans. Total cost $10.00

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Plastic Bag
  • Spray Bottle
  • Dish Gloves
  • Plastic Bags

Steps (5 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Fill your spray bottle with bleach. DO NOT add water. Take your pants and lay them on your lawn. Spray down the front part and let dry. Flip pants and spray on the other side. You continue to spray until you get the right amount of bleach. Lay them out to dry.

  2. 2

    Ocne your pants are dry you are going to wash them in a little bit of liquid detergent. While your pants are washing you can begin preparing your dyebath.

  3. 3

    Make sure your tub, bucket, or sink is clean. I did mine in the tub.
    Turn on the hot water and let run till it reaches the maximum temperature. Only fill the tub enough to saturate your pants. Put your gloves on, open the package and mix into the hot water. Mix dye well.

  4. 4

    Once your pants are done washing you can start the dying process. Lay your pants in the bottom of the tub and press down into dyebath. Let sit for 30 minutes then flip them. Let them sit another 30 minutes.

    You can let your pants sit as long as you like depending on how dark and light you want it.

  5. 5

    Put pants into bag and transfer them to the washer. Wash and dry as normal and your done.
