COOL BEANS JEANS FOR LITTLE "GREEN"

Hi, Vixens! I wanted to share a tip on getting "Cool Beans Jeans" for a fraction of the retail price. My pre-teen daughter wanted some "COOL BEAN JEANS". After scouring the net for a pair of "AFFORDABLE" unique jeans to no avail, I decided to create a pair. The jeans she wanted were OVER $150!! We don't have money like that! If we DID have that kind of mulah...I doubt if I'd shed $150 big ones for one pair of jeans that she probably wouldn't wear more than 6 months! So, WHAT DID I DO??? I grabbed $10 (almost ALWAYS my budget,lol) headed over to the thrift store and picked up 3 pairs of jeans ($6 TOTAL), stopped by Dollar Tree for a gallon of bleach, and a bleach pen ($2), and headed home. We already had sandpaper, scissors and paint at home. Here's what we came up with:


                                     INSPIRATION: $1500 DESIGNER BALMAIN JEANS

                                                  $2 THRIFT STORE JEANS

                                          WRITING WITH BLEACH PIN

                            WRAP AROUND & TIE OFF WITH TWINE

                     WASHED WITH BLEACH FOR 20 MINUTES

                 VOILA!!My Puddin in Walmart rocking her DIY jeans!


                             Here are the others we created:
