In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to turn a plain pair of jeans into a pair of jeans with some sparkle to them.


We’re going to be altering them and adding decorations to create a fun piece full of personality.

Tools and materials:

  • Jeans
  • Scissors
  • Grater
  • Fabric glue
  • Adhesive stars
  • Diamantes
  • Bandana
  • Iron
  • Tweezers
Cutting jeans

1. Cut the jeans

Start by cutting the jeans at the knees.

Shredding material

2. Shred the material

Next, take a grater and move it back and forth on the jeans around where you’ve just cut.


This will make it look more rugged.

Ironing on stars

3. Iron on stars

Place the stars going up the leg of the jeans, then put the bandana (or some other protective fabric) over them and iron them on.


Depending on the types of starts you’re using, you might then need to remove the top layer.

Adding diamantes

4. Apply diamantes

Next, squirt fabric glue onto the jeans in vertical lines underneath the pockets.


Place diamantes on top of the lines, using a pair of tweezers to help you apply them.

Here are the finished jeans!


We have the cuts on the knees and the rugged material around them, the sparkly stars going up the side of the legs, and the diamantes running down from each pocket.


I love this transformation, and I hope you do too! If so, leave a comment!
