I have a pair of jeans that fit well, but I haven't worn them in a while because of a small stain. So I decided to give them new life and a makeover. I did a google search to get ideas on painting jeans. I found pretty cool designs and some videos with good tips on the subject. Unfortunately I didn't take a before pic or a during pic. Oops. But I do have a pic of the final outcome. Well, sorta final.
After I wash the jeans the black outline will be washed away. I used some images that I found online and traced them onto some tracing paper with a charcoal pencil. Then I rubbed the image onto the jeans and filled it in with gold acrylic paint. I used a medium that makes any acrylic paint into fabric paint. I turned the jeans inside out and heat set the paint with an iron. The videos with the tips can be found here.
That's so cool, good job!
ReplyDeleteWow! So cute!!! Adorable work!
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern a lot. I'm thinking about doing something similar to a little tee shirt that my baby left her mark on.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cool way to recycle jeans and be green thanks for the tips
