DIY – Bleach Gel Pen

¾ cup water
3 Tbsp corn starch
4-7 Tbsp household bleach

1 empty squeeze bottle with a pointed tip*

Mix water and corn starch together in a small pan. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously until mixture becomes translucent and pudding-like. Let cool. If you need to make it more than a few hours ahead of time, cover the pot with plastic wrap so it won’t dry out. Start adding bleach by the Tbsp, until you have the consistency and strength you desire. Gel will thin a little bit after sitting. Use as you would regular bleach gel.

* Put the bleach gel into a Ziploc bag, cut the corner off and squeezed it into a bottle.
