I made these for a friend, she mailed me her green khakis, and I used a mandala pattern that I drew several years ago, printed that out, cut it out of paper card stock, and sprayed Elmer's Spray Adhesive on the back of all the little pieces, and carefully affixed them to the pants. I sprayed with bleach, carefully removed the stencils without ripping them, (so I could use them again,) and threw the pants into the wash. I really like how they turned out, and I think the gal who is getting them will like them very much, too! ^_^

I like how the pre-existing embroidery thread is resistant to the bleach! Nice effect!
