Have you ever wandered into a store and found a beautiful jacquard trim or a vintage trim, but didn’t know what you could use it for? Your jeans of course! This DIY is cool because of its semi-permanence. Cuff ’em and show of the trim or un-cuff ’em and have your jeans back and no one’s the wiser. Watch the video below to see how to make them and scroll down for more details.
What you’ll need:
A Pair of Jeans
Step 1: Measure the bottom of your jeans. Add two inches to that and cut the trim to that measurement.
Step 2: Apply glue to the end of the trim and fold it over once at about an inch. This is to hide/seal the frayed end.
Step 3: Apply a line of glue to the jeans at the seam and at the top and bottom of the cuff. Start glueing the trim all around. E6000 takes some time to dry and it helps if you don’t jostle the fabric too much.
Step 4: Repeat Step 2 when you get to the end and glue down the end to the jeans.
That’s it, you’re done!
