I have been cuffing my jeans ever since the weather began to warm up in Manhattan and when I spotted these jeans from H&M’s upcoming Fall 2012 collection, I knew they would make the perfect DIY to add to my collection!

Supplies:

Medium blue skinny jeans

Ruler

E6000 glue

Scissors

Needle & Thread

Rhinestones (SS30 (6mm) Crystal)

Sew-on octagon jewels

Sew-on pearls

Seed beads (Mine are the cry luster colored beads from M&J Trimming)

1. Put jeans on and fold the cuff so it’s about 1.5 inches above your ankle.  The cuff itself should be 2-3 inches long.

2. Using a couple stitches around the jeans, stitch the cuff to the jeans so it doesn’t unfold.

3. Split the number of large jewels that you have in half.  Sew half individually onto the left cuff and half on the right.  Make sure to space them evenly around the entire jean cuff.

4. Glue about 10-15 rhinestones to each cuff with the E6000 glue.  Let rhinestones dry for about 30 minutes.

5. Fill in open gaps by sewing in the pearls.  I used about 30 on each jean cuff.

6. Fill in any other open gaps you may find with your seed beads.  I created loops of 5 beads each.

And there you have it!  Cuff your jeans and expose this beautiful hidden treasure!

  1. You really make it seem sso easy along with your
    presentation but I in finding this topic to be reazlly
    one thing which I believe I would by no means understand.
    It sort of feels too complex and extremely huge for me.
    I’m having a look ahead for your next post, I will attempt to get tthe hold of
    it!

  2. I’m not sure exactly why but this web site iss loading incredibly slow
    for me. Is anyone else havig this issue or is it a problem
    onn my end? I’ll chck back later and see
    if the problem still exists.
