Toilet brush

You’re going to need a toilet brush for this, so go pick up a new one at your local discount shop. You’ll also need to pick up some bleach and a bucket.

2. Prepare your materials

Go outside, or to a well-ventilated area, and lay your jacket out on a garbage bag so you don’t stain the surface of the area you’re working on.

3. Bleach it up

Pour some bleach into a bucket and dip the toilet brush into the bleach.

Creating a bleached denim jacket

Now, shake the bleach-soaked brush over the front and back of the jacket.


Give it a little time to dry and marvel over how the bleach droplets start to create a gorgeous galaxy-style effect on the fabric.

DIY bleached denim jacket

I love this stone-washed denim type of look. It has such an 80s rock and roll vibe. Give this DIY a try and leave me a comment to let me know how it goes.

    I don't understand why people don't just pass by instead of saying something negative. My mom told me if I couldn't say something nice to keep my mouth shut. I think this looks really nice, and if I had a denim jacket I would do this.
