DIY: Galaxy print t-shirt

I love galaxy print, but items with this print are usually pretty expensive. Luckily there's an easy method to make your own galaxy print and save some money.

What do we need?
*shirt, dress or any other type of clothing
*spray bottle
*bleach
*fabric paint

Fill the spray bottle with bleach and water, I used a 50/50 ratio. Spray the mixture onto your shirt and let it dry, this is important because if you just spray a whole bunch of the mixture on there you might not get the result you want. Once dry, you can see what the mixture has done so far and you can spray some more on the areas you want to be lighter. You can also use a brush to splash some of the mixture directly onto the shirt to get bigger blobs.
Once dry, it's time to use the fabric paint. Mix a little fabric paint with some water and just splash it on there to get small splashes on your shirt, little white stars. The less water you use the whiter the and clearer the splashes will be. You can also paint some stars directly on there with just fabric paint. You can use the standard white, but also a small amount of other colors, like dark blue or yellow. Continue the process until you're happy with the result. Let the paint dry, fixate it and enjoy wearing your tee.

























These are the two tees I made. As you can see the bleach can have a different effect depending on the color of your shirt. I got some white bleach marks on my dark blue shirt, and some red shades on my black shirt.
Feel free to experiment and have fun with it!
