| Recycled Bleached Jeans |
Approximate Time: 15 to 30 minutes in the bleach, wash and dry done!
Supplies:
- jeans
- bucket
- bleach
- hot water
- rubber bands
- washer and dryer
Instructions:
Wash jeans and dry with no fabric softener or sheets. Fold jeans, twist, and tie with rubber bands. There is no set way to do this but I kept twisting, securing with bands folding securing with more rubber bands. No two will be alike and it is similar to tie dyeing, only with bleach. Place the jeans in bucket with half hot water and half bleach, soak and turn, push around for 15 minutes. Pull back a band and see what's happening. I left mine in 1 hour, use your own judgment. Rinse and place in washer and dryer.

I did this with some colored t-shirts a few years ago and they looked really cool!! Only thing tho, it weakened the fabric considerably where the bleach had been. Soon started developing holes and rips in those places. It should take a lot longer on jeans tho!! Cute idea!!

I did t his once, accidentally, by placing bleach in a color wash. Everybody thought my Jeans were cool! Those were Halcyon days of fun and adventure.
I believe I will do it again, just to see what happens! Thanks for the memories!

I have also done this project using the bleach as "paint". Apply it with an old paintbrush and you can create whatever designs you want.
