It is best to have White jeans as your canvas so you choose what two colors you want. I chose black and white! This project was inspired by Diy-two-tone-pants... http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/diy-two-tone-pants But I'm terribly slack with my sewing skills:/ however I can handle basic painting!

Instructions

  1. Small 2013 09 03 18.04.57

    You need to mix your dye to whatever color you want in a plastic basin. I would recommend a dense consistency so you don't have to apply the dye so many times.

  2. Small 2013 09 03 18.16.28

    I'd recommend using bin liner to project your floor/work space and wear gloves as this will stain! Use your paintbrush to put your colored dye onto one leg.

  3. Small 2013 09 03 18.16.46

    When you get close to the crutch be careful as the color bleeds. Once the trouser has soaked in the dye leave to dry. You'll notice the color lightens so you might need to repeat this process until it is to a shade of your liking

    Put in the wash own and in future instances you might want to wash on it's own. Of course you may lake to paint the other leg in a different dye color but I just wanted mine to be Black & White. Just be careful with your laundry in future try low heat settings and washing clothes of similar color together.
