Supplies to make your Tuxedo Stripe Jeans DIY:

• 1 Pair Jeans
• Tulip soft fabric paint – I used a gold metallic (courtesy of I Love To Create)
• Sponge brush
• Painters tape

Step 1
Lay your jeans out flat on a table, with your side seams flat and in the center.

I used the side seam as one edge of my stripe, taped it and measured about 1 inch wide, then taped to mark the other side of the stripe.

Step 2
Using your Tulip fabric paint and your sponge brush, paint your stripe all the way down the side of your pants.

Then tape and paint a stripe on the other side.

Step 3
After I painted my tuxedo stripes, I went back and painted the inside area of the pockets and the watch pocket too.

Not since the 80s have there been so many color and print choices for jeans. You can find jeans in every color you can imagine and everything from floral to polka dot to Tuxedo Stripes. You can see another print option in this DIY printed jeans project.

Depending on the color of your jeans and your own personal taste, you can decide what color to make your stripes. Really have fun with this part, you can use metallic or a color to make a strong contrast or just a subtle stripe.

I used the gold metallic paint for my jeans, because I really like the idea of metallic jeans but I didnt want them to be all over metallic. I just wanted a subtle stripe. This is a great way to add color or a metallic sparkle in a classic stripe.

Theyre the best of 2 classics, tuxedo pants and jeans! What could be better!
