DIY Magical Cloud Jeans...10 Minutes to Create...So Easy...So Fun!
With inspiration from a Cloud-Filled Sky, I designed an Easy, Cloud Design for my Jeans.
I went with a Subtle Cloud Design - My pallet is a Washed Denim...
For a Bold Cloud-Design, choose Darker Jeans for a Stark/Bold Contrast.
Ready to Create Cloud-Inspired Jeans?? Let's Go!!
Materials You Need;
- Jeans - Any Color, Any Hue. (Light Jeans for Subtle Look...Dark Jeans for Bold Look)
2, Clorox Cleaner
3, Glass Bowl
4, Cotton Balls
First, Pour the Clorox Cleaner in the Glass Bowl. I used Clorox Cleaner, rather than straight Clorox, to create a more subtle look. Straight Clorox could pull all the color out of the jeans.
Clorox Cleaner...Amazon LINK.
Just a small amount is needed for One Pair of Jeans.
Ready??? Let's Go!!
Be sure you have a clean, dry surface to work on...covering the surface is a good idea, to prevent the Clorox from staining the surface.
I balled up 3 cotton balls for my "Dabber"...
Gently Dip the Cotton Balls into the Clorox...Ring Out...A Little Clorox goes a LONG Way.
Now Create Your Design. I like Symmetry...my Clouds are in Rows From Left to Right across the Pant Legs...
I found it easiest to Start at the Cuff and Work Up to the Waistband...
The Jeans quickly absorb the Clorox...Dab Gently and Lightly...
A Heavy Hand will Cause the Clorox to Spread...A Light Touch will allow the Clorox to Stay Where You Plan for the Clouds to Be...
Front is Done...Now Flip Over for the Back...
Keep Dabbing...These are Looking Great...
The Back is Done!
Now, my favorite part...Hang Jeans on a Clothesline in the Sun to Dry...
Wet Cloud-Jeans Flapping in the Breeze...
On a Sunny Spring Afternoon...
Line-Dried..Front..
And the Back...The "Clouds" are Now Pale Blue...Pretty...
Pop the Jeans in the Washer to remove the Clorox Cleaner...Dry.
BEFORE...
So Fun to Wear...
AFTER!
