Fabric paint: This works well for slightly bigger areas. Just thin it a bit so it doesn’t look heavy or stiff.
Full garment dye: If the bleach stain is large, you may want to dye the entire piece. It’s a bit more effort, but it can give your clothing a whole new life.
Step 3: Set Up Your Workspace
Lay your garment flat on a clean white towel. This does two things:
Prevents dye from bleeding through
Protects whatever surface you’re working on
Open a window, too. It’s a small detail, but it makes the process more comfortable.
Step 4: Apply the Color Slowly
This is where the magic happens.
Test first on a hidden area—always.
Start light and dab the color gently onto the bleached spot.
Blend the edges using a cotton swab. A tiny bit of rubbing alcohol can help soften harsh lines.
Don’t rush this part. It’s better to build color gradually than overdo it in one go.
