Once bleach comes into contact with light it loses its effectiveness and eventually won\u2019t do anything.<\/li>\n<li>Different colours of t-shirts will bleach to a different colour, that\u2019s why testing is always a good idea \u2013 even using old t-shirt fabrics will give you a good indication of what the bleach will do to it.<\/li>\n<li>Black fabric and paper will mostly bleach to orange, pink, yellow and eventually white.<\/li>\n<li>The more bleach you add the lighter the end result will be.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/h3>\n<p><a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Handmade-Festive-Gifts-Bleached-Reindeer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Handmade-Festive-Gifts-Bleached-Reindeer.jpg\" alt=\"Handmade Festive Gifts - Bleached Reindeer\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Handmade-Festive-Gifts-Bleached-Reindeer.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Handmade-Festive-Gifts-Bleached-Reindeer-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Handmade-Festive-Gifts-Bleached-Reindeer-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Handmade-Festive-Gifts-Bleached-Reindeer-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Handmade-Festive-Gifts-Bleached-Reindeer-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Handmade-Festive-Gifts-Bleached-Reindeer-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Handmade-Festive-Gifts-Bleached-Reindeer-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can have loads of fun with this easy technique and your Silhouette CAMEO machine \u2013 the sky&#8217;s the limit.

I started off my career in retail working in a paper shop importing handmade speciality papers from japan, Canada, India and America. We also imported a range of rubber stamps (PSX), along with Ranger Products, and Tsukineko to mention a few. This was all back in 2000. I moved to the wholesale part of the business and got involved in window dressing and opening a second flagship store for the company while the owners were overseas. I have travelled extensively to America visiting CHA and Frankfurt Germany to their biggest paper trade show \u201cPaperworld\u201d where I gained valuable knowledge regarding the industry. After a whirlwind love affair with the business I headed off into the sunset to fulfil my second dream by working in publishing. I started off as Technical Editor on a scrapbooking magazine and worked on several other craft publications in the company as well. But this was not enough \u2013 after a long journey I started my own scrapbooking magazine, which transformed into writing a real book book as opposed to a magazine book, and the rest is history. I am currently a best-selling author in the craft industry with my book \u201cScrap-Boek\u201d being the fourth best seller in South Africa and currently in second print. I am a freelance artist doing work for various companies such as Caxton Magazines that includes Rooi Rose and Bona Magazine to mention a few. I travel regularly to various shows teaching and presenting lectures on scrapbooking, card-making and creativity. I have been published several times in American publications such as Taken Ten Magazine, Catch Up Issue \u2013 both Somerset Publications. I was also asked to be a guest artist by Taken Ten Magazine for one of their issues in which an entire article was dedicated to my work. In December 2011, I made my television debut by presenting Christmas Crafts on 3 Talk with Noeleen. After a bit of a sabbatical with my on-line classroom website Scrapcouture, we are busy revamping it with a fresh new approach to bringing creativity and new techniques to people all over the world. Other than that I spend lots of time scrapbooking and making cards and teaching classes weekly in Gauteng as well as throughout South Africa. I am passionate about what I do and I have had many amazing experiences and met so many famous people throughout my creative journey.

I started off my career in retail working in a paper shop importing handmade speciality papers from japan, Canada, India and America. We also imported a range of rubber stamps (PSX), along with Ranger Products, and Tsukineko to mention a few. This was all back in 2000. I moved to the wholesale part of the business and got involved in window dressing and opening a second flagship store for the company while the owners were overseas. I have travelled extensively to America visiting CHA and Frankfurt Germany to their biggest paper trade show \u201cPaperworld\u201d where I gained valuable knowledge regarding the industry. After a whirlwind love affair with the business I headed off into the sunset to fulfil my second dream by working in publishing. I started off as Technical Editor on a scrapbooking magazine and worked on several other craft publications in the company as well. But this was not enough \u2013 after a long journey I started my own scrapbooking magazine, which transformed into writing a real book book as opposed to a magazine book, and the rest is history. I am currently a best-selling author in the craft industry with my book \u201cScrap-Boek\u201d being the fourth best seller in South Africa and currently in second print. I am a freelance artist doing work for various companies such as Caxton Magazines that includes Rooi Rose and Bona Magazine to mention a few. I travel regularly to various shows teaching and presenting lectures on scrapbooking, card-making and creativity. I have been published several times in American publications such as Taken Ten Magazine, Catch Up Issue \u2013 both Somerset Publications. I was also asked to be a guest artist by Taken Ten Magazine for one of their issues in which an entire article was dedicated to my work. In December 2011, I made my television debut by presenting Christmas Crafts on 3 Talk with Noeleen.
