This is the first DIY project that I've attempted that hasn't gone exactly according to plan. To be honest, I was about two seconds away from tossing these in the trash. What started out as a simple iron-on project, ended up being a bit more complicated...
 |
| 1. You will need: a pair of plain denim jeans (mine are F21) & iron-on transfer paper (Wal-Mart) |
 |
| 2. Pre-wash the denim & select the design you want to transfer (Images found here) |
 |
| 3. Pre-heat the iron & begin the transfer process. This is where the project went awry... | | |
|
 |
| 4. Since the iron-ons didn't adhere properly (read: smudges, burns, missing parts), I was forced to use Puff Paint |
 |
| 5. Let the Puff Paint dry overnight and voila! Now you have your own aztec printed denim :) |
*I almost prefer the puff paint as it gives the design a bit of dimension:) *
XoXo
Try it out, definitely worth the effort ;)
** Disclaimer: It has recently come to my attention that the images used in this DIY were in fact from a fellow blogger (see them
HERE) & my so-called 'friend' tried to pass them off as his own...be careful who you trust, lesson learned!
Oooooh I can't wait tO see these babiEs in action!

Girl, I tried this weeks ago and the iron ons either didn't go on perfectly or were peeling off. I even tried it on a black pair (since I had both prints) and it ruined my black pair bc I didn't cut around the stencil the best! Love how you fixed yours with puff paint! I was thinking about redoing it and painting over with a brush -- but puff paint seems a lot easier! Looks great! :)
