Flower print jeans made with stencils and fabric paint - perfect for spring & summer!
I've been experimenting with stencils quite often lately, so I couldn't help but make a flower printed garment for the season. The great part of this project is that you can use any stencil you'd like (leaves? daisies? filigree?) and in any color you desire.
I tend to mix girly and not-so-girly concepts together; the design is feminine, so I purposely found a pair of jeans that were a bit loose fitting. More or less "boyfriend" style jeans. I actually thrifted them for about $8! This particular combination creates a nice juxtaposition. Skinny jeans would be a nice alternative, or even denim shorts!

You Will Need
-
Step 1Supplies:
Large flower stencil, flat sponge brush
-
Step 2Supplies:
Jeans, white fabric paint
Also:
Masking tape!
-
Step 31) Tape the stencil onto the jeans.
-
Step 42) Apply paint with the brush. Don't add too much!
-
Step 5Having a fairly light hand might be more ideal for this project. Missing some spots here and there will give it a more rugged, worn in look. Obviously it depends what you're going for, but don't worry if each flower isn't perfect.
-
Step 63) Let dry, and repeat on random areas on the jeans.
-
Step 74) Try adding flowers on the sides, overlapping the seam. Before you start the back side, make sure the front is completely dry.
-
Step 85) If you would like, take a paintbrush and draw pointed ovals - also known as leaves! - in between the flowers.
-
Step 9I think the key aspect to these jeans is to not think too much about the random placement of each flower. Maybe it's just me, but I tend to subconsciously create a systematic pattern without realizing it. I like the miscellaneous placement of the flowers; it adds a fun touch to the piece.
