A couple fun ideas
2 Attachment(s)
The jeans are denim. I took a Chlorine Stick (stain removal stick) and drew my feather motifs on the jeans. I put newspaper inside of the pant leg so not to go through to the backside. I let it work until I liked the look, then rinsed in a tub of water. Then I neutralized the chlorine by using a product that was meant to condition the water for fish tanks readily available even at Walmart.
The second is my watch band. I drew the design two inches wide and my wrist measurement plus 12 inch and the overlap for the velcro long. I paper pieced right on the the quadrilled paper that I drew my pattern onto. |
Both projects are very creative! Thanks for sharing! :)

Very neat. I saw someone on TV using a gel bleach to write on a shirt. It stayed where they put it and made a very clear line. After seeing your jeans, I am going to look to see if I can find the gel bleach. I'm thinking you could put it any squeeze bottle. An old glue bottle or hair colour bottle? I am thinking of trying it on fabric. Your watch band is very cute too!
|
Love your watch band. Reminds me of the band my mother made out of elastic for me when the original band broke. Yours is much prettier, however.
|
Great items; I've also been thinking of a quilted watchband or bracelet.
|
Love your idea.
|
Great feathered jeans and love the denim band!
|
You have a very creative mind! Kudos!
|
Clever!! but i'd really like to see the pink quilt behind it all. Gorgeous feathers on that.

I made some shirts with my 10yr old daughter. We used strait bleach with some Q-tips to draw whatever we wanted. I also used blue painters tape to put a design and used my household spray bleach cleaner around it (like a stencil). Both ideas turned out really well! Tips: we put cardboard in between layers to keep it from bleeding through and give the bleach time to work, it will get lighter after a few minutes. If you get impatient you'll end up with it getting lighter than you wanted. |
Very creative, particularly like the watch strap
|
Yes you are clever. I love your ideas.
|
You are one smart cookie. Thk for sharing. Love both
|
Love the feathers on the jeans! I remember doing something like that for my daughters many, many years ago when they wanted to by a brand of jeans that ran bleached trails on their jeans and sold them for HUGE amounts of money. I refused to purchase the expensive jeans but recreated them myself. Yours are beautiful. Wear them with pride!
|
My sister accidentally spilled bleach on my favourite shirt once. She was crying when she showed me the big blob. I decided it looked like an eyebrow and grabbed a paint brush and finished making the face. It will be 10 years next year and I still wear the shirt.
|
What clever ideas. I love the jeans one may try it myself. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
|
Love your creativeness!
Got to try these ideas.
I enjoy being creative and showing others how too! Keep up the great thinking! Judi |
You must be an artist - you're waaaay too good!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful job on both. Would also like to see a better view of the pink blanket.
|
What fun ideas. Love both of them. Thanks for sharing.
|
Both are great projects.
|
My goodness... the things a person can learn here.
Never would have thought of doing that. Sure opens up all kinds of fun ideas!!! |
Very cool!
|
My GKids would love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
|
Very creative !
|
So cute, great ideas!
|
Neat ideas!
|
Both are neat ideas; my GD's would love to had some rhinestones and beads to the feathers! Personally I love the watch band. Thanks for sharing,
|
I never thought to make my own wrist bands. Very smart idea.
|
I've been saying for a yr that I am going to make myself a quilted band since my watch is still good. Any suggestions
sure would be appreciated -now going back and reread all the comments |
oh wow! i love them both! thank you!
|
Very creative, great job and thank you for sharing.
Have a Blessed night Ellen |
Great job. Bet you would have to pay a bunch if you bought them at a high end store. High fashion with out the pain.
|
Great creative ideas! TFS! :thumbup:
|
Very cute idea. Decorated jeans are all the fad these days and that watch band is adorable.
