Hello lovelies.
I cannot believe that it's been 10 months since I updated my blog! Life in Baroda has been super hectic since I moved here a year ago because being a full-time scientist isn't easy, yo! But hey, no complaints!
So one fine Sunday when I decided to stay at home and detach myself from science for 24 hours, this happened! It's an amazing way to revamp your old pair of jeans that is probably hiding at the bottom of your wardrobe. ;)
Read further for step by step instructions!
What do you need? As usual, nothing more than 5-6 things!
Let's start.
You will need:
1. An old pair of jeans (Make sure you can still wear 'em)
2. Fabric paint and a brush (or even a piece of sponge)
3. Cardboard cutout
4. Cutter
5. Patience
1. Start by preparing a cardboard cutout of your favourite shape. I made a heart. Not because that's my favourite shape but because it is easy to cut! :P
2. Place the cutout on the jeans and roughly mark equidistant points on the jeans in order to print the hearts on them appropriately. I haven't done that since I am lazy. Don't be lazy like me. Go and mark those points now!
3. Carefully start painting the patch. Make sure you don't disturb the position of the cutout. If that happens, you might just end up with shapes that don't look like hearts. :D

| Doesn't it look pretty? |
4. Continue painting the hearts all over the jeans till it looks like this:
 |
| Some blotchy hearts are okay, I suppose. :P |
5. Final step, get someone to model for you!! Hahaha.

| My model is allowed to go mad for a while. |
Aaaand you're now a proud owner of a superb-looking pair of jeans!
I am really sorry for the bad picture quality. I had to take pictures with my phone this time. :(
Anyway, try it out and let me know how you guys experiment with the patterns!
You can share your pictures on Instagram and tag them with #thediyfactory. I would love to see what you guys do!
So that's it for this post!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Lots of love,
