DIY POlKA STUDDED PANTS





Photo Source: Barbara Martelo 
          When I saw this post on Tumblr from Jenny Belvin through True Blue Me and You, I knew I had to try it. I'm so happy with the result! I used one of my old jeans (I call it my Work Jeans) for this DIY because I was scared I was going to mess up and ruin my other ones, plus I think the white dots look better on gray anyway, like what Barbara Martelo was wearing. I wanted smaller dots so instead of using a stencil, I used the puffy fabric paint, giving it more of a two-dimensional studded look. I put more dots on the bottom and less on top like a gradient just for fun. Thank you Jenny for this tutorial, This is one of the easiest and cheapest DIY I've ever done.
