I moved the stencil to another location and sprayed again.  You can see the color starting to change at the top:

You can also use vinyl or freezer paper stencils.  Boo picked out this image and my Silhouette machine quickly cut it out. I placed a piece of vinyl shelf paper in between the shirt layers too:

I used a sponge to dab the bleach around the stencil and I used a spray bottle to mist around it:

Bleach stenciling is an easy way to add lettering to a shirt too. Here’s one I made for Mr. LBB…..so he could sport the Lil Blue Boo name. You could also use a bleach pen for lettering.
