This week's DIY project is a bleached denim jacket. The weather has been so nice lately that it feels like Spring so I decided to spruce up a denim jacket that I thrifted a few weeks ago. I love the fit but I wasn't too keen on the wash. It reminded me of old school mom jeans. :-) My initial idea was to bleach about half of the sleeves but then I decided that I wanted my jacket to have more of a grungy look. I created some holes to the sleeves to complete the look.
Supplies:
denim jacket
bleach
bowl
gloves
Soak the areas of the sleeves that you want bleached with cold water. Wring out.
Put on clothes and pour the bleach in the bowl.
Place the arm sleeves in the bleach and leave for about a couple of hours.
Remove the sleeves and rinse under cold water.
Wash and dry alone.
*Optional* Take a foam brush, dip in bleach and apply to desired areas of jacket.
