SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

  • Tulip ColorShot Instant Fabric Color
  • Jeans
  • Masking tape
  • Protective plastic
  • Disposable plastic surface cover

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Make sure your jeans are clean and dry before painting (without fabric softener for best results). Cover your work surface with a disposable plastic table cover to protect from overspray.
  2. To create your tuxedo stripes, fold the jeans in half lengthwise so your side seam is facing upward. Run strips of masking tape down the entire length of the leg, leaving about an inch of space in between the tape strips. Flip over and repeat on other leg.
  3. Cover the exposed sides of the jeans with protective plastic, heavy paper or paper towels to protect from overspray, then spray several light coats of ColorShot onto the jeans in between the strips of tape. Let dry between coats, and repeat until you are happy with the coverage.
  4. Remove the tape and repeat for the other leg. Let dry completely.
