Tropical Embellished Jeans

Sick of those old jeans? Add some flare to them. Learn how to turn your old jeans into tropical embellished jeans. All you need is some fabric, paper-backed fusing web and scissors.

Materials:

• 1 – 2 yards of tropical print fabric (we used two different prints, from Fabri-Quilt, Inc.)
• 1 yard of paper-backed fusing web
• Sharp scissors

Steps:

1. Cut motifs such as flowers, palm trees, surfboards, etc. from your tropical print fabric.
    
2. Iron paper-backed fusing web (exposed glue side) to wrong side of fabric.
    
3. Using sharp scissors, cut out details of your fabric motifs, as close to the motif outlines as possible.
    
4. Peel off paper from wrong side of motifs, exposing the other glue side of the fusing web.
    
5. Place as desired on your jeans, and press the motifs in place.
    
6. Be careful to hold the iron over the motifs completely, to ensure that they permanently fuse to the denim fabric.
