Ideas in Denim

[dawn-twilight.livejournal.com]

I just saw a segment on the morning show here for some ideas on spicing up your demin.

Glitter fabric paint-
---get some glitter fabric paint and put a small amount on your fingers. Take a demin jacket or pants and rub the paint into the fabric with your fingers. If you match the color of the paint to the color of the demin it will just let the glitter show. The paint bonds it to the fabric

Bleach -
----Take a stencil and place it on your denim. Make a paste of bleach and flour and dab it on the denim through the stencil. Let it sit on the denim for 20 mins and wash off. Wa-la, instant pattern on your jeans.

Wood burning tool -
----Using different nibs on the wood burning tool lets you make different shapes. Press the burner tip on the denim for 1 second then move it to the next spot. It may be a little stiff, but after a few washes you'll get the distressed look to your design.

Note, I personally havn't tried any of these methods, I jsut thought I would share
