Make Rockstar Jeans
Are you a rockstar? You'll be needing a cool pair of jeans. Rockstar jeans usually have rips, bleach spots, paint, and other embellishments to help them stand out from the crowd. Even if you aren't a rockstar, wearing these jeans is going to make you feel like one!
Steps
- Choose a pair of jeans, by color or style, that you would like to redesign.
- Paint with staining liquids outdoors. Add glitter before everything dries.
- Flick bleach onto the fabric with an old toothbrush.
- Splatter paint with a child's paintbrush.
- Try slightly diluted dye or kool-aid.
- Use sponges or stencils. Try henna stencils.
- Attach beads or sequins with a thread and needle. Attach rhinestones with fabric glue. Attach brass tacks randomly. Turn the jeans inside out when they're laundered.
- Add patches.
- Attach scrap fabric with a needle and thread. Try bandanna fabric. Make a few pockets.
- Buy iron-on patches at the craft store.
- Add a piece of ribbon-embroidered lace.
- Attach a paisley cut from a piece of fabric.
- Embroider a heart. Remove the fabric from the center of the heart. Replace the center with a cool piece of fabric.
- Use fabric markers in various colors. Add lyrics or the name of your band. Add artsy Make Your Jeans Look Awesome and details.
- Fray the knees or pockets with a cheese grater. Rip a few holes in the fabric. Fabric will fray with each washing.
Tips
- If you are going to make a hole, use an old block of wood and place it inside the jeans, so the hole will not go to the back.
- Rinse your jeans, within three minutes of applying bleach, to stop the bleaching process.
- Glitter will be removed each time you wash your jeans.
- Buy a Bedazzler online or in stores.
Warnings
- Never mix bleach with ammonia or vinegar. These create a potentially lethal gas.
