We are working with a black shirt so when you bleach your shirt you might not get pure white in some spots. It will start off brown then get to a lighter yellowish color.
Lay your shirt on top of your trash bag.
Twist your shirt in certain spots then add your rubber bands to them.
Wearing the gloves in the tie-dye kit, pour a little bit of bleach in the center of each knot.
Go slow. Bleach will stain anything it lands on so pop on a apron if you need.

Grab a brush and add a little bleach to it. Carefully flick the bristles and you will see the bleach land on the shirt. Give it about 10 seconds then you will start seeing the color change. When you are happy with colors take off the rubber bands. Be careful not to let it sit too long as bleach can destroy the fabric if left on a long time. Rinse thoroughly in water or even better, wash in the washing machine to completely stop the bleaching process.
Grab your spray dye and start spraying onto your the bleached areas of your shirt.
Wrap in a plastic bag and let set 6-8 hours. Rinse, wash and dry. Add flicks of white soft paint for the stars. Let set 72 hours before washing. Us scissors to cut shirt where desired for added fun.
