Resist-and-Spray Technique for Dyeing Fabric

Anything that will protect the fabric while you spray a fine mist of bleach solution over it will leave behind a pattern shaped like its outline. Choose flat, detailed objects like cedar boughs and cheesecloth. Lace and netting of all kinds, paper doilies, coins, washers, twigs, tape, cut-out paper, beads, and odd-shaped stones and pebbles can all work well. Thoroughly spray the area, and wipe off the objects with a paper towel afterward if you plan to reuse them.
