DIY// bleach lace patterned shirt

I am a big fan of lace everything so when I saw this tutorial over at A Beautiful Mess, I was in love.  I thought I would give it a shot on something wearable! I am pretty happy with how the top came out. Emma and Elsie used fabric spray paint, but I decided to go with bleach. My only advice would be to maybe tape down the lace so that it doesn't budge. Mine moved a little in mid spray and it gave it a messier look, which I don't mind, but next time I would like to get a more clean look just to see the difference.

Check out my little studio space feature here at Chickiedee!

Also, this lady really made my day by being so sweet about manzanita here:)

Danielle just debuted these beautiful earrings and I had to snatch up a pair for myself, so excited to get them!

Don't forget to enter the other giveaway I am hosting with Ashley, here!

P.S. it seems there has been an issue with pinning images from manzanita. I am trying to figure it out, but in the mean time the pin it button right below each post seems to be working fine!

besitos,
rebecca

I love this project, and the way it turned out! I also have been having issues pinning photos from your blog; but if I do it REALLY fast, before the "this image cannot be pinned" label of doom appears, it works. :) xxx, j

I know I've Said this before- and I'll say it again - this is the coolest most stunning thing you ever created! I thought it was a fabric that had been woven before I learned how u did this! Amazing. I wanna do it!

Rebecca I love your blog! I think your tee worked really well, love the colours the bleach leaves! :) Very inspiring, maybe I will try this when I get a moment (that means in like a years time hahaha!) Glad you are getting attention over the web, you deserve it, so pretty and creative! :) Oh and your dogs are adorable! :) Zoë xx

Nice outcome (I enjoyed your previous bleach DIY, too) - the sleeve on your right arm reminds me of a lanscape picture with trees and some fences :)

[Ester]

wow what a neat idea, Rebecca! I love this DIY, I really must try to find the bleach out here, I don't even know where to start looking at as I never saw it for sale but I definitely want to create something like this, how inspiring!
by the way, I loved to read about your craft room, I think it's fantastic to take a peak at where other people create!

[Mandy]

LOVE it!!!

So gorgeous. You really wear your clothes so well and this top is no exception. It looks like it turned out fantastic and it looks fantastic on you as well! Love the orangey red lipstick too. Lovely.
