Here's how it goes:
1. First drew drumstick shapes to greaseproof paper with the help of your favorite drumsticks. I used Steve Gadd sticks and shortened the stick shape a bit. Use your imagination!
2. Then tape the pattern to the cloth roller cleaned shirt. I also placed thick cardboard inside the shirt, so bleach wouldn't go into backside of the shirt. Don't hesitate on this part! I did, so result aren't perfect.
3. Pour the bleach CAREFULLY in to the (small) spray bottle. Only bottle I found at that moment was a bit too small, but did the job fine after a couple of re-fillings.
4. Spray the bleach on the pattern. Leave the shirt for awhile and let the bleach do the job. Don't let animals or children anywhere near this process.
5. Come back, flush and rinse the shirt well on a sink or on the bathroom floor. Let the shirt dry. Remember that bleached clothes can ruin other clothes as well in the washing machine if not flushed properly!
6. Use black clothing marker to fix some parts if necessary.
7: Tada! New drumming shirt to put on to your next rehearsal or gig.
If you are planning to do something like this REMEMBER to:
- be safe!
- use gloves!
- don't hesitate!
- watch your eyes!
- do it in the bathroom or somewhat similar space with a good ventilation!
- use respirator if possible!
- know what you are doing!
And again don't let animals or children anywhere near the bleaching process!
