My first post: How I made galaxy/bleach leggings ;D

Hello! My name is Erin and I wanted to create a blog to show you how I make + style things, my art projects and also to tell you about things that I am loving or I have done. So I thought I would show you these leggings that I made, because I couldn't justify spending £50-£75 on a pair of leggings.
So to make these leggings I used bleach, water. I just used plain household bleach so nothing specially bought.



















 I put a tiny bit of bleach and mixed it with water, in a old spray bottle. Be sure to rinse the bottle before and after using.


After spraying with the bleach (I recommend doing it outside or in a well aired bathroom) I placed the leggings in a washing up bowl with water and fairy liquid for about an 1-2 hours. This was to try and remove the smell of chlorine from the bleach.

 I then tried to add some paint, however it wasn't the right kind of paint so it faded off in the wash. So if you do want to add paint it must be a certain fabric paint. Also, I recommend when washing the leggings for the first two or three times alone as you don't want to the bleach to ruin any other clothes, but after that it should be fine.
I hoped this post helped as I was just experimenting when I made these. Please ask any questions and link pictures if you decied to try this ;D
