It might be that the fabric marker needed to be set with heat before washing! That has helped in a lot of my projects

@PricklyAlpaca I've even tried that technique with poscas on fabric, you just iron it a bit on the backside, works great on some fabrics, less on others heh, it's a trial and error at times and sometimes fun effects happen from it! (Like your flame two piece) Hope u can figure something out! 🤞

Ive generally found that sort of thing (and sharpie/permanent marker) need ironing to set well.

I second ironing! I made my husband & I matching concert tees and ironed them right-side out with a pressing cloth (cheesecloth) on top and then again inside out. They've only been worn & washed twice so far but the paint & marker is intact except for the glitter effect (😢). Bleach can eat the fabric, so I would do the bleach stuff, then dunk shirt in water, then wring out & dunk in hydrogen peroxide, then wring out & water again (3 bucket system, 2 are water).

that’s so sick!! would definitely recommend making a tree bookshelf, tree/ moss rug, tiny mouse/frog house, giant button/leaf chair, plant lanterns, or a worm on a string scarf

The eyeball shirt looks so cool! I love it. Also congrats on the new sewing machine

Very relieved this video had the redemption arc it deserved. The pen may not have worked right, but I love the eye shirt just as much as the moth shirt and celestial shorts (the Ceaseless Watcher aesthetic helps a lot). Always thrilled to see you create... anything, really!

It's funny, I'm looking at your clothes and thinking, meh, not to my taste, but also thinking that if I saw you out and about wearing them, I would be delighted, because wouldn't the world be an awesome place if we all wore our super weird handmade creations all the time? 😊

That's some appropriate halloween-y summer wear! Also I love the safety pins on the skirt!

This is literally one of my favorite ways to upcycle clothing I don't wear often!

I love the eyeball shirt! I don't think it gives off homemade vibes, but it gives off horror manga vibes! Also that moth shirt is ❤❤❤❤ amazing!

The instrumental song you used as bg music at 8:00 is the same instrumental used in Slimecicles “Jort Storm” an utter MASTERPIECE

No way I was literally just about to do this now I have INSPO :0

is no one gonna talk about the fact that she got all those clothes 1$ EXCUSE ME WHERE IN THE WORLD DOES THIS EXIST!!?

the song you played when you were bleaching the eye shirt i think is the main beat that Simccl used for his song Jort storm i would recommend it because it is too funny

yess!! i love cyanotopes

I'm so glad you tested them which so many people online do not! I've been very suprised when trifted t shirts of mine go some odd colours. E.g. a burgundy t shirt which when tested it went army green. I quite like using waterbrushes with diluted bleach. Worked super well without me needing to keep dipping a brush/risking drips getting everywhere. Edit: also beware too many bleach fumes in a small space. Open lots of windows or have a go outside.

8:12 I just realized why jort storm sounded so familiar

i love your cloud skirt :0 its so pretty!!! i think with thrifted and second hand stuff, sometimes it doesn't bleach or take dyes well because it's taken a lot of detergent and softener build up over the years. i saw a tumblr post a week ago by prismatic-bell about how to kind of "reset" your clothes with a thing called laundry stripping where you put your clothes with warm water, half a cup of borax, half a cup of washing soda, and half a cup of laundry soap and then you leave it for 8+ hours and you put it in the dryer or hang to dry it i haven't yet tried it myself but it sounds really promising :0

Ooo, thanks for the info! I'll try this next time ❤️

thank you for humbling my imagination of how nice it would be to bleach clothes myself djhasja the AUDACITY of me to think that "oh that looks easy itll be fine" - thank you for sharing even your problems with this project, if i ever tackle something similar I'll keep some of this in mind lol!! but also: (I was wrapping gifts while watching so i mightve missed if you did this) people dilute their bleach to get different values!! they don't layer 100% bleach on top of one another but rather work from darkest to lightest wash while increasing the concentration :) ♥

kira is my spirit animal. officially. i can’t even tell you how much i am feral for this person. everything she posts is perfect even if it’s not as planned or of the best quality. i just love what she does

i love how your content is so real. you don't mind showing your mistakes and your processes. and the stuff you do is even accessible to those of us who aren't artists. (and you know how to style a tshirt!) keep being real!

This video was an emotional rollercoaster and I loved every second of it! I really ended up liking the eyeball shirt and the fire set! Would love to see you paint on some more clothing someday, it's really entertaining to watch you struggle yet somehow still succeed after all the disaster

That moth shirt came out absolutely stunning! You killed it, Kira!

Omg, please do a cloak! I can totally see a badass mural done in bleach on a cloak, I think it'd be awesome!!

When I was using bleach on clothes, I carved my own stamps, loaded the bleach on them and stamped once, reloaded and did it again. That might have been a massive time saver if you ever do another shirt with a repeated pattern on it. I really see the teeth boots with the eyeball shirt!!!

some tips I have seen online if you do this again/anyone else is inspired: if your liquid bleach is bleeding in the fabric, you can also find bleach in gel forms in common cleaning supplies! The example I saw was bleach toilet bowl cleaner, but keep an eye out for other materials with bleach in them for different effects (and for sure always be ready to adapt !! bleach is a tricky mistress)

WHOAG i always loved this bleach idea, you made it look so cool!

As a custom clothing artist, even when bleaching use a light white base coat for the colours to pop especially if the bleach hasn't lightened the fabric enough. The light white base coat is always used on dark fabrics and dark denim. And always heat set the paint afterwards. You did an amazing job though I always love you're work!

Yaas! I have a friend that does this. She does 50 percent water, 50 bleach in a squeeze bottle with a needle tip for fine lines.

New sewing machine!!! Whoop! Whoop!! Whoop!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😁

The guy throwing in some free squash is the sweetest thing ever

I've thought of doing this for so long but this just might be my sign-

I'm also getting some serious Lemony Snicket vibes from your eyeball shirt. I think it's great! You wear it well too!

Yay new sewing machine! :D (Your eyeball shirt solved my fear of eyes)

I’ve seen some people on tiktok do different dilutions of bleach to get those gradients if you ever try again

These are so awesome! Love the way this turned out! I actually really like the more experimental more casual vibes of this video. While your cosplays and costumes are obviously amazing, they don't always feel that do-able. Videos like these are really inspiring and also simple enough to want to try yourself. I'm feeling very inspired and very capable to take on a project like this, so thanks for that!

So you’re saying this was a lighter episode… Where you were lightening fabrics? Loved this episode!

These turned out awesome!! I was thinking about painting my crust pants with bleach and now I've gotten a sign from the universe lol Also, next time you put a flash warning also be sure to add a time to skip to so people know when the flashing is over :)

The process is adorable! I enjoyed identifying with your struggle. I have always flown into new projects barely knowing anything about tools, techniques or process. Sometimes amazing things have resulted. Sometimes not.

That eyeball shirt gave me some nice inspiration! I might do the same to some of my own shirts, it gives me such Welcome to Nightvale vibes

I found your channel trough a sketchbook tour and subscribing was like the best decision I’ve ever made (on the internet). I love your channel and content! And we just match. Somehow our aesthetics are the exact same lol

Love your channel and content! ❤ I’m probably not your average subscriber. I’m a 52 mom but I love how you just go for it! You remind me of my daughter. Totally relate to your sense of humor. You really inspire me to be more creative! 😊

The eye shirt is giving me so many The Magnus Archives vibes and I love it!!!

love your sense of style, all of the outfits turned out so cool. I would love to see more bleached clothing

Love the bleach dyeing and would love more experimental! But your main videos are also great, just what keeps you sane and having fun! 👍

The eye shirt is cool as HELL!! I wanna make something like that now :O

I'm glad you show your challenges. This gives me hope.

Love your brain! Please continue being a sparkling artist.

This has now inspired me to take out some of my old black cotton Ts and cover them in candles and eyeballs with bleach for October. (Also I wanna try doing eyeball bleach socks!) TBH I love all the content you put out it's just fun seeing what you come up with whether it's artwork, sewing or making cool stuff! Remember to take care of yourself too mental health is important!! We love the weekly / biweekly content but don't forget to take care of yourself too! I'd love to also see the occasional sketchbook sessions come back or maybe some art videos where you do some stuff for yourself too! (Like they don't have to be super crazy character designs but you could do some of your oc stuff too!) If you are looking for a crafty idea maybe trying embroidery on some thrifted clothing?

They all look great but the eye shirt and the flame set are what Im most jealous of. The coloring is just so good.

I personally love the eyeball shirt without the fabric marker i’d really like to have a shirt that looks like that. The style is really great

This is an interesting idea, I like how the flaming tank top/skirt combo came out for you. If I were to try this, I'd probably do some Spider related designs.

I am in love with the flame set. WOW!!!!! Great work! Thanks for sharing!

Honestly I just found you through your Spider-Man videos and I think that you are already my favorite art creator ❤❤❤

This is my new favorite channel. You inspire me so much to make new whimsical stuff ❤️

im absolutely making that eyeball shirt for myself, i love it dearly

I love your chaotic energy so much xD I kinda wanna do this with my clothes too now

all of the pieces are so so cool i absolutely adore the eyeball shirt!!

It was really cool to see the progress and trial on this project. The moth shirt looks so dynamic! I think it would be cool to revisit these techniques again or expand on them maybe with more home decor items like a wall tapestry art piece or something of that nature. ✨✨

This makes me want to try out more 'older' or classical looking pieces for my own costume work! I have only made a few of outfits I've drawn into real wearable outfits and I'm curious to see what more I could pull off after watching this! Also HELL YEAH! THRIFT STORES ARE THE BEST!!!

The eyeball shirt is my favorite! They all came out so good. I love your sense of style so much.

I did enjoy your bleach projects I would love to see you paint on fabric Thanks for taking me on yet another textile adventure

i loveeeeee all of the fun thrifting and chaotic maker vibes in this video - so so glad you are here having fun on this platform. unrelated to bleach adventures, but the midliner pastel highlighters that popped up in the ad portion are AMAZING. both for cute pastel artsy journalling and chaotic colorful sketchbook times. 10/10 will buy more once i've finished the several i already have! just wanted to put that out there lol

These are sick! ❤ I love your thrift flip type videos ❤❤

Finally, a video that’s not sponsored by square space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

obsessed ~ love the experimental content! inspires me to try things a lil crazy

Did anyone else notice at 8:10 she was playing the beat for jort storm?-

LOVE the moth and celestial skirt.

jort storm in the background :D

I learned a lot. I've been meaning to do something with bleach art and this is exactly the type of information that will be useful. My favorite is the celestial skirt, such a cute design.

trully, this is a great and also very on budget way of customizing clothes! Seems like so much fun! And I love everything you made, mainly the eye one, it looks so cool?!

8:04 JORTSTORM OH MY GOD AHHHHH

ahhh im so glad it worked out!! looks incredible

Omg finally i always wanted flame themed tie-dye clothes.

The level of chaos in this video is similar to how i approach art projects too 😂 That moth tshirt is stunning in particular, love intricate designs like that

Great results. I love them all.

I love this! ❤ The outfits are looking amazing.

To get the level of whitening and range of colors you want, try fabrics that are heathered colors on cotton/poly blends - 60/40 or 65/35 cotton to polyester. Dark and medium heather grey will lighten better than solid black which usually turns orange to pinkish at best. You can use an iron to speed up the bleach action by laying a pressing cloth over the bleach design and pressing, Then either do another round of bleach painting, or soak in hydrogen peroxide and water for 10 minutes, rinse in clear water and line or machine dry to do more painting later. Black dyed cotton is a challenge to get lighter than orangy pink/peach because of the dyes used to make the black.

What a great, eventual result. I loved it how you found out about the heat working on the bleach. It was great to see. You look so cool. Keep it up👍

Kira once again inspiring me to turn my hot garbage into beautiful stuff

I would pay all the money for all of these pieces they are INCREDIBLE

I love how the flames turned out

Wow😍total success! And I did learn a lot, thanks💛

I love the celestial skirt! It would be cool to see you make some more intricate designs with your new found knowledge in a future video

That fire 2 piece is everything, can't wait to see you break in the new sewing machine

Everything you made this video turned out SO amazing! ❤So Pretty❤

I know this isn't for clothing, but I would love to see you making some stained glass pieces. And I'm talking the 'simple' ways, ones that aren't expensive and won't end up making you get cut up. I think they would be really cool also if you made them fit in with your whimsical room. I would love to see the designs you create.

I love how the flame outfit finally worked out, it looks great, I think the eyeball shirt turned out better for adding the colour to the eyeballs on some of them, the thing with any paint pens is they need to be heat set, your heat gun should work as well as the iron. The moth tee I just love it, it’s the cream of the crop for sure as well as the little mini you wore with it. Both of them turned out stunning. I would love to see you do the painted items, I love the way you approach your ideas with the no idea it allows you the freedom to just got for it come hell or high water. Just keep being you and things will defiantly always shout out I’m hers 🤗🤗🤗

I love that Jort Storm instrumental xD

I love bleach designs! ❤ Love the eyeballs 👀

Looks like something a fire bender would wear, love it ❤

Everything looked so good! Redemption.

very cool custom💕most of all i like T-shirt with butterfly and a skirt with the moon and sun

I freakin love you! Take us on chaotic adventures. I'll be here for the wins and the fails!

Omg I love all of this! As a rainbow haired human I have lots of bleach stained shirts, so this may be something I need to do lol you seriously KILLED IT with this video lol

MORE! I really love the luna moth shirt!
