Galaxy Print DIY

After lusting after everything Christopher Kane galaxy print, I decided to take it into my own hands and make my own by looking up a “how to” on the internet (you can literally find out how to do anything nowadays) .

This one was the most simple yet effective ... it didn’t require buying anything fancy or new, it could be done with things I already had in my house... BRILLIANT!

Ok so for this DIY you will need: a garment (I picked a simple black T-shirt), Hairdryer, Bleach, Water, spray bottle and a paint brush.

First mix up a bleach solution of 1 part bleach, 3 parts water and fill your spray bottle with it.

Next I laid out the T-shirt (with nothing around to avoid damage from bleach splatters). I also placed a plastic bag inside the T-shirt so the bleach didn’t seep through to the back of the garment, but you can pick whether you want to do this or not... the choice is yours J

Let the spraying commence... I did a few light sprays then used the hair dryer to accelerate the bleaching process, so I could see my pattern emerging.  Drying in between your sprays allows you to see where to spray next to create an effective pattern.  

To really create the galaxy/cosmic effect I then twisted the fabric in the middle of the t-shirt to form a swirl/spiral. I then sprayed more heavily in the middle to produce the lighter centre. Then use the hairdryer it really helps!

As you can see after the t-shirt is flattened the constellation effect is more obvious.

I then continued spraying to achieve the look I wanted.

For a final touch I then used the paint brush to slowly drip and stronger bleach solution (1 part water,1 part bleach- you only need a tiny amount for this) to give the effect of individual brighter stars (these i dripped close to the centre -as seen on the final picture).

Hope you liked the DIY J
