Why You Should Embellish Your Jeans?
Each season I clear out my closet and part with things that I no longer wear or no longer fit. These jeans were originally in the toss pile. Then, I thought why not give them new life by embellishing them.
Embellished jeans are always on trend. Just look at this pair with the crystal embellishment.

How to Add Embellishments to Your Jeans
Before I added anything to these jeans, I cut the hem. I think the short, above ankle raw hem made these old jeans a little more modern.

Directions
- First create a design or pattern with your jewels or pearls.
- Then wait for your glue gun to heat up and start by placing each piece carefully following your design.
- Let the glue completely dry before trying your item on.
- That’s it. Your DIY embellished jeans are ready to wear.

When doing this project again I found that gem tac glue worked just as well as the hot glue.
It’s much easier to apply crystals or gems to your denim with tweezers.
Take your time creating the design you want so you’re confident about your project.
