.:Tutorial Tuesday - Glitter Jeans:.

This is a great project if you are just looking for a little something extra to embellish your kids' clothing with.

As you know, we are lovers of all things girly and all things glitter at our house. I saw some cute pants at the Gap one day while I was at the mall (I cannot find a picture online anywhere, I'm sorry!), and like a true crafting DIYer (and also someone who can't afford to shop at the Gap), I thought, I could make those!



And it was super easy.

Here's what you need:

- pants to embellish (got this sparkly jeans for a steal at our favorite store - Target - on super clearance!)
- heat transfer vinyl (I got mine from H&H Sign Supply, but these Tulip Fashion Glitter Sheets would work great, too)
- digital cutter (I used Lucy, my CAMEO)

I started off with my first pair of jeans, and measured about how long I wanted the border to be. I started mine right under the pocket, and went to the hem of the pants.

I used a lace border I had in my Silhouette software, and created it to the length that I wanted. The width was determined by the length and I just left that alone.



Then I used Lucy to cut the heat transfer, weeded it, and ironed it on to the jeans with a thin towel between the vinyl and the iron. 

Yep, it was seriously that easy. And hello, totally cute, right?

I adore the extra sparkle and shine to the pants. It's just a fun embellishment that adds a little to outfits without being super over powering.

Hamming it up for the camera....which is a miracle because my two year old is not a fan of the camera!

Sister love!



How would you embellish a pair of pants?
