Introduction: Aesthetic Stamped Jeans

This project is an easy and simple way to upgrade anything in your wardrobe! I've been wanting to do something to these jeans for a while now, and I've finally gotten around to doing so. Altogether, it took me about an hour and a half to complete this project.

Supplies

  • Rubber stamp carving pad
  • Carving tools
  • Jeans
  • Fabric Paint
  • Pencil

Step 1: Print and Trace Design

Pint out a design of what you want, I printed out a couple different sizes just in case, in the end I decided to use the smaller print. Then take a pencil and trace over the front of the design.

Step 2: Press and Transfer

Place the paper, design down, onto the rubber carving pad, and apply pressure. You may also need to scribble on the back of the paper to make the graphite transfer onto the rubber. Then, you can lift up the paper, and it should leave a ghosting of the design.

Step 3: Re-trace

If the design is hard to see, you can trace over it again with a pencil. Then I slimmed down the stamp a bit just to make the next steps a tad easier, and it will help your final stamp look a little bit cleaner.

Step 4: Carve

First I carved out the silhouette of the design, then I carved the patterns of the wings. It doesn't matter if the carving looks messy, it shouldn't be noticeable in the final results. Also, I did make a small mistake while carving, I carved out a portion I didn't intend on carving. I was fine with the mistake, but if this happens to you, you can always touch it up later.

Step 5: Test

Before stamping the jeans, test it out on a scrap piece of fabric, and make any adjustments to the stamp if needed.

Step 6: Stamp Onto Jeans

Apply fabric paint onto the stamp and press down onto the fabric. Apply some pressure to the stamp, then lift up to reveal the stamped design.

Step 7: Finish and Touch Up

Repeat stamping your design until you're happy. If you need too, touch up any parts that may need touching up. And then you're done, congratulations! I hope you enjoyed this project!
