Dyed Designer Jeans on a DIY Budget
After seeing so many sublime marbled jean treatments in the fashion blogs lately, I thought... "Hey, why can't I just make my own trendi-licious grey jeans?" I did just that and it turned out to be easy and fun too.

Step 11--Scrunch up your pre-washed jeans, starting from the bottom of the leg all the way to the waist.
2--Wrap each leg with rubber bands.
-
Step 23--Then wrap legs and top of jeans together. Note: A tighter binding will produce more white areas.
4--Soak the jeans in warm water for a few minutes. Now, cover your work surface with plastic and grab those rubber gloves. Let's mix up some dye!
5-- Mix 2 boxes of Pearl Grey dye with 1 cup of salt in 4 cups of very hot 140Ëš water. If your tap water's not hot enough, just heat some in the microwave or tea kettle.
-
Step 36-- You can test your dye color by dipping a fabric scrap in the dye bath. If the color is too dark, add more water to adjust. If it's too light, just add some more dye powder.
-
Step 47-- Add 1 gallon of very hot water and stir well. Immerse your wrapped, wet jeans and let set for 20 minutes. To help the dye penetrate, occasionally turn and push down with a big spoon.
8-- Lift from the dye bath and remove the rubber bands. Rinse in cool water until water runs clear. Wash in warm water with mild detergent, rinse and hang dry.
