DIY Americana Apparel

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Goodwill Gal Bleach Gel Shorts Celebrate Nationalistic Pride Via Fashion

— June 8, 2015 — Art & Design
The Goodwill Gall DIY Bleach Gel shorts provide an alternative, at-home approach to Americana design. In place of purchased displays of nationalistic pride, this guide suggests re-using denim shorts as a base for creative design.

To produce illustrations of the U.S. star spangled banner via apparel, Goodwill Gal recommends using corn starch, bleach and a sauce pan. After following a step-by-step video guide showing how to make the bleach substance, the liquid is then applied to the apparel.

Depending on the desired look, more or less bleach can be added. With cookie cutter stencils and a bit of cardboard, chic patterns and precise outlines can be created. This is the ideal guide for anyone with a crafty touch looking to personalize Independence Day celebrations.
