Directions:

Step 1: Fill a spray bottle halfway with bleach and dilute it with warm water to activate the bleach.

Step 2: Lay out denim outside on a tarp or newspaper to lessen mess.

Step 3: Spray denim in a sporadic motion all over until desired effect with bleach spray bottle.

Step 4: Let it dry. You may use a blow dryer but that is optional.

Step 5: Now that you have the color and effect that you want, remove bleach by rinsing it out with water, then put denim in washing machine.

Step 6: Then let it hang dry outside or put it in the dryer.

Tips: Wear something that you don’t mind getting dirty when working with bleach. Wear gloves, and have fun with it!
