Hi, I love H&M t-shirts, they're cheap and fit me amazingly. However, most of the ones with logos on them are horribley cheesey so I usually just go for the plain £2.99 ones. Now I've been thinking I could draw on them just to make them a bit more interesting, the trouble is, what with?

my friend had this newspaper print stuff but it was really crap and the design was like a big slab of plastic stuck to the t-shirt that cracked very easily. similarly I looked at fabric paint pens and the packaging was all "leave a cool raised design." raised is not cool, flat like it's stained into the t-shirt is cool.

so, is there any products that you can use that stain directly into the t-shirt. I'm not bothered if they're paint or ink or pens, i'll make do, but i just want it to be like it's stained on the t-shirt. do you know what I mean when I say that?

well, my friend draws designs on then bleaches them on with a toothpick, it looks quite good but it's horribly complicated and i wouldn't be able to do it

that sounds really painstaking. is bleaching and permanent dying in tiny amounts the only way to go you think?

i might still try it.

you could try using permanent screenprinting inks. i made some shirts from them in high school 3-4 years ago and they've held up well. making the stencils and getting the ink to spread evenly is a pain though.

i read somewhere (maybe on kr?) of someone who used a spray bottle of bleach and a stencil and i've been meaning to try it.

i don't know to be honest, i guess it's worth a try
just use an old shirt in case it doesn't work out
