Easy DIY Customize Any Pair Of Jeans



Fun way to fix holes or redo pre made holes.
Take any pair of jeans. I got these ones for $5 at Plato's Closet. They came with pre made holes. I personally  do not like the pre made holes. So I put some fun fabric underneath.


Turn your jeans inside out.  Cut the piece of fabric a bit larger than the hole.

  Lay some strips of fabric adhesive around all the sides of the hole. Lay the wrong side of your fabric up. So the right side is touching the wrong side. Then take a damp towel lay it over the fabric and jeans. Then with your iron set on wool place the iron holding it for about 40 seconds around the sides where the fabric adhesive is. Don’t rub the iron just set it. The heat and water activates the adhesive. Repeat until it is taped down.

When the fabric adhesive is set properly turn your jeans right side
 out.


Painting your jeans.
 I use Delta Cream Coat Textile medium with Cream Coat acrylic paint. Mix 2 parts acrylic paint with 1 part textile medium or whatever the instructions are on the bottle. Then paint whatever designs you want on to your jeans. You will probably have to do a couple coats. Then let it dry. Once it’s dry heat seal it. Take a town place it over the design and with your iron on the highest setting run it over the design several times I do it for about a minuet. Make sure there are not any globs or rough spots it should all be smoothed down. Wait 7 days before washing. When you wash use Woolit or any other soft soaps do not use laundry detergent.  Run on the hand wash setting or the lowest setting of your washing machine. Line dry
