Bedazzled 7FAMK Tutorial
✨I'm so happy with the outcome of these shorts! From ankle skinny jeans to beautiful shorts, I couldn't be more excited to wear these with my new Lane boots!✨
•I bought these jeans from goodwill for the color of the week price making them $7! a bargain within themselves. I thought of the idea to place the 7 on the pocket since this style had a blank pocket.
• I bought my supplies from Hobby Lobby which costs around $20. I just needed gems, a gem tool, and E6000 premium which came with the special tip for precise application.
•After around an hour, the jeans were all done! I'm so happy with how they turned out! These will definitely be a staple during the summer at fairs, rodeos, and to add some sparkle to an outfit!!
Upcycling thrift store jeans into fashionable bedazzled shorts is a rewarding and creative way to refresh your wardrobe without breaking the bank. In my experience, choosing a quality pair of 7 For All Mankind ankle skinny jeans from Goodwill gave me a fantastic starting point—especially when snagged at a bargain like $7. The distinct denim quality and fit made the transformation worthwhile. One key tip I discovered during this project was how to neatly arrange the gems on the blank pocket area. Using a pencil to sketch the intended design beforehand helped me visualize the pattern and avoid misplacement. Then applying a thin line of E6000 premium glue—a robust adhesive suited for fabric and jewelry—ensured the gems stayed securely in place. The diamond picker tool made precise placement easy, avoiding glue smudges and waste. It took me about an hour to cut the jeans into shorts and bedazzle the pocket, but the fun and anticipation made it feel much quicker. I highly recommend Hobby Lobby for sourcing your gems and tools since their selection and pricing were perfect for this kind of DIY. These bedazzled shorts quickly became my go-to item for summer events like fairs and rodeos, adding a unique sparkle that pairs beautifully with western-style boots. Plus, the personal touch of designing the gem layout means no two pieces will be exactly alike—making your outfit truly one of a kind. If you’re considering this project, don’t hesitate to experiment with different gem sizes and colors to match your personal style. And remember, patience during glue application is key to a professional-looking finish. Overall, repurposing thrifted jeans into dazzling shorts is a fantastic way to combine sustainability with fashion-forward creativity.
That's Very Pretty ❤️
