  Step 1

  What you will need:
  A pair of skinny/ankle cut jeans, mine are from American Eagle Outfitters.
  A fabric removeable pen/pencil
  A piece of thin cardboard
  White fabric paint
  Ruler
  Cosmetic sponge

• 

  Step 2

  Start by marking your jeans up to create a guide for your heart stencil. I made my hearts 2 inches apart. I started by marking one inch markings first though so that I got an idea of the spacing.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut a heart shape stencil from a small piece of cardboard and use this as your paint stencil.

  Pour the fabric paint onto a plate and apply paint using a small cosmetic sponge, ensure to remove excess paint by dabbing onto a test sheet of paper.

  Start stenciling from top to bottom, vertically.

  Step 4

  I made my hearts all two inches apart, where I had space for a portion of a heart, I also tried to fill it in, i.e. along the seams. Once again I've made my hearts all 2 inches apart vertically and horizontally, and created a 'diagonal' grid type of pattern. Follow my image below if you're unsure.

  Repeat on the other pant leg and try to be as symmetrical as you can. I found placing the legs side by side and taking a ruler and measuring across the two legs works the best.

  Here you have it! What do you think?

Really cute! Do you think acrylic paint works on cotton? Or should I buy the fabric paint just to be sure. Want do it on a shirt instead of jeans.
