  Step 1

  Protect your work surface with newspaper or paper bags because it gets a little messy.
  Lay your jeans out as flat as you can. Iron them to get them super flat if you desire though it's not necessary.
  Mix 40% varnish to 60% black paint, mix thoroughly, and paint on with foam brush. Don't paint too thick nor too thin. Make sure to get in all seams and little puckered areas.
  Let dry overnight and then wear!
  They'll be a little stiff at first but that will go away after a wear or two. I personally like the feeling.
  Spot wash with cold water by hand. Never machine wash.

When you say "gloss varnish" do you mean gloss wood varnish because it seems strange to put that on pants...

Gloss gel medium used for painting is the best. Otherwise a gloss modge podge will suffice.
