Upcycled Clothing: Going Green

May 13, 2011
Hi,
I love this cooler weather. It's perfect for the new addition to WildFlower Heart's latest design Upcycled Denim Jeans. Visitwww.etsy.com/shop/jowrayto see our newly designed corset jeans.
 
To Make these Corset Jeans:
1. Find a pair of old jeans that fit you.
2. Bleach lightly. Rinse and dry.
3. Dye with kool aid or Rit Dye, depending on how "green" or eco friendly you are.
4. Paint corset with acrylic paint.
5. Slit holes for laces.
6. Lace with ribbons.
7. Optional: Add dyed crochet doilies to the feet.
