General rules of custom jeans decoration
Bored with toneless jeans and can’t afford to buy denim models by well-known designers? Then create
your own personalized jeans! Here are some tricks that might help you to build your own jeans using
several materials and your imagination.
Remember – handmade style is extremely popular and fashionable today. Even star couturiers deliberately
make their clothes look handmade – unseam the stitches, leave some imperfections to create an illusion
of things sewn by the person who doesn’t do it professionally.
You can embellish your old jeans with anything you like – be it small keys or sim-cards.
Embroidery on pockets or on both sides of jeans made with fashionable tambour stitch will make your denim
really unique and attracting attention.
The use of rhinestones is very simple – stick them to your jeans and that’s it! Rhinestones can also be used
in a combination with embroidery or build a separate pattern. You can also write your name using rhinestones
or the name of your boyfriend – why not?
Prints and custom jeans always go together. Today hobby shops offer a wide variety of special “do-it-yourself”
print kits.
Jeans with corsage make the most successful combination with high heels. This trend makes women look sexy and
elegant flattering every type of figure. A wide variety of corsage jeans can be found in Mango stores.

Embellish your jeans with satin flowers! Take dark blue satin corresponding with indigo color of your jeans and
cut out several flowers out of it. Stick the flowers down to jeans using a special fabric glue – one on the upper
part of the trouser leg, another one on the knee of the second trouser leg, the third one on one of the back pockets.
Or just use your imagination and arrange your flowers in a random order, the way only you like it!
Paillettes never come out of fashion. They refresh clothes and decorate it. Today you can find paillettes in different
colors and sizes. Using them you can without any effort create a genuine masterpiece on your denim! Take a needle and
a fishing line and sew paillettes down to the belt of your jeans, front and back pockets, side seams, decorative seams
on trouser legs. After each paillette fix the fishing line with a knot. The same way you can decorate your jeans with
beads and marbles.
Besides, you can decorate your subculture jeans using special fabric colors and stencils. And if you want to change the color
of your jeans you can also buy a special fabric dye or simply presoak your jeans for several hours or days in tea. This will
create a fashionable rust or artificial dirt effect on denim. If you put only trouser legs of your jeans into tea solution
you’ll also get an effect of gradual color intensity coming up. The next operation to make with your tea jeans is to dry them
up and then presoak again for 24 hours in the same tea solution. However, this time some vinegar is to be added in order to
fix the color and make it more lasting.
If you have a sense of style you will surely design custom jeans that will fit you perfectly and attract everybody’s attention!
Stick to the actual fashion trends and keep in mind that the way your jeans are sewn can be judged only by professionals. But
the way they look like will be judged by everybody you meet!
