Hand painted denim is a fun DIY for those who love to tweak things.

What you will need:

  1. Your denim piece (trousers, jacket, skirt, shirt)
  2. Some masking tape
  3. Definitely acrylic paint and Textile Medium paint
  4. Paint brushes
  5. Crayon, Chalk or pencil to sketch with.

Here are a few things to note when you decide to paint denim:

  1. Use a chalk or pencil to sketch your design on your denim, so you can have a guide for the final work. Section off your painting area with some masking tape, so all spills are on controlled areas.Tips On How To Paint Denim Fabric And Elevate Your Cool Status
  2. Mix your acrylic paint with some textile medium paint to prevent the acrylic from drying out and peeling off when washing the denim. Textile medium turns acrylic to washable paint. Use the ratio of one part acrylic paint to two parts textile medium.Tips On How To Paint Denim Fabric And Elevate Your Cool Status
