Bleaching Denim

RE: Bleaching Denim By Susie-Q (Guest Post) Hi there! Could anyone tell me how to bleach denim but have the spots come out antique (sepia) looking instead of white? I just watched Project Runway and Korto did this to a pair of jeans. It appeared she just bleached them, but the spots aren't white; they are more of a brownish color. I love the look but am not sure how to get this look. Thanks so much - you guys have great ideas!

I thought it would be cool to decorate my jeans! :) Posted on 02/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bleaching Denim By ninock (Guest Post) I create my own destroyed jeans and putting mixtures of pure bleach or bleach and water in a mist/spray bottle and spraying even layers on jeans, then washing them works very well. So if you want that faded look you just spray the top and bottom with a 3:1 ratio to the middle based on what you want. DO NOT DO THIS INDOORS!

But the color is too dark for my taste. Is there any way i can bleach it to lighten the color ?? but not ruin the jacket? Editor's Note: Put 1 cup bleach in the washer while it is filling and before you put in the jacket so it is well diluted. (DO NOT pour bleach on the jacket or you will have bad white spots and then be wanting to know how to redye it.) You should be able to let it sit in the water for a while and it will lighten it. Basically, though, just washing the jacket and hanging it out in the sun a few times will lighten it quite a bit.

Posted on 08/24/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bleaching Denim By (Guest Post) If you put one fourth water to three-fourths regular bleach in a container as big as what you are bleaching; lay the object down evenlly and let the denim sit from anywhere from 30 sec. to 5 min. depending on how bleached you want it to look, itshould come out pretty good! -Ray Posted on 04/20/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bleaching Denim By lisa (Guest Post) im trying to bleach a denim jacket. soaked it overnite in domestos, but instead of it bleaching all the jacket its all patchy. any suggestions would be most appreciated Posted on 04/02/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bleaching Denim By pedant (Guest Post) So when you pour bleach down the drain it doesn't go back to the water table? Posted on 02/17/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: (Lynne) Bleaching Denim By artislife (1) Contact i must speak up here. DO NOT bleach denim on the sidewalk!! the bleach will seep into the ground, the water table, the ecosystem and the drinking water. it is a carcinogen. if using bleach, best to pour it down the drain. thanks! Posted on 02/11/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bleaching Denim By Lynne (Guest Post) Toss your denim into the bathtub or out on the sidewalk. Pour the bleach slowly onto your item while standing above it. Let it soak in for about two minutes, then rinse it in cold water.(Be careful not to splash the bleach while pouring.) After that, wash it separately.

Posted on 06/28/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bleaching Denim By (Guest Post) Rit Dye offers a product called Fast Fade. It works great to lighten up denim. It's hard to find in stores, but you can easily get it at the "Rit Dye" online store. - Jennifer Posted on 06/23/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bleaching Denim By (Guest Post) I saw a clip on TV for decorating denim and they used one of those bleach pens to create different shapes, etc on jeans, jackets and shirts. I would think a template or stencil would work to help with the lines, unless you are very artistic.

I saw it in a catalog called Home-Sew but it`s not cheap.It`s around $9. I'm sure someone out there has a cheaper solution. http://www.homesew.com/ Posted on 10/14/2003 | Report Spam or Abuse
