DIY Tutorial: Painting on Jeans for a Different Look

I have a jean jacket that I haven't worn much. Mainly, it just needed some embellishments. For that reason, I started looking around for things I could do with my jean jacket to make it look more stylish. I decided that painting a design on my jean jacket would be the best way to express myself. I'm really happy with how the design turned out.




Watch this video and you will see the design and what I used to make it,

How to Make a Skirt From Jeans

I don't know about you, but I have had my fair share of jeans that were no longer wearable for one reason or another. Mainly, they get holes in the inside seems of the jeans, and I do not think they are good to wear any longer. Instead of throwing out my old jeans, if I can turn them into a skirt, then I go ahead and do that. I have made many cute jean skirts from old jeans.

In order to do this project, you will need a pair of old jeans, scissors, a measuring tape and a sewing machine. You will need to be able to sew a few straight lines, so beginner crafters should be able to manage this craft.

How to Make a Paper Flower

My son recently moved into my guest room, and that was an adjustment for me to make when company comes to visit. Last time I had some friends come, I really wanted them to feel special, even though they were going to be staying in an 8 year old's room. So, I searched around for a way to inexpensively decorate their room, and I found just the thing.

I took some white Christmas lights that I have, a curtain I do not use, and made some paper flowers to add to the mix. This is what I came up with to turn the child's room into a grown up room.




Here are a few other pictures of the flowers a little more close up.
