Old Onsie Idea

1. Is made using the Cork                            2. Is made using the Q-tips                     3. Is made using the Paint Brush
Sometimes after the many times your child has spit up on a onsie or just stained it you feel like there is nothing left to do with it than throw it away. Well, pinterest to the rescue again. Someone posted a great idea that you can do with an old onsie (or even a run down t-shirt)
Materials
1. Old onsies or t-shirts
2. Bleach
3. Cork
4. Paint Brush
5. Q-tips
6. Masking tape
3-6 aren't all needed, just depends what look you are going for
7. Cardboard or newspaper
Steps
1. Place a flat protecting surface inside the onsie (newspaper or cardboard will do the trick) to stop the bleach from leaking through to the back.
2. Take the item you are using to create the design and dip it in the bleach
3.  Use the item to create the shape on the material (if using the cork you will get a large polka dot pattern) also keep in mind that it will not change immediately the bleach will need time to set into the fabric
4. Once you have completed the design run the shirt through the rinse cycle in the washing machine to be sure all the bleach has been removed (also be sure not to was with anything else so you don't ruin other clothing)
