Patched denim is a fun trend for fall that you definitely don’t want to miss, it’s easy to wear and looks best a bit dressed up. Whether you want to add patches or rip off your pockets, designers are showing many different versions of this trend for fall, the choice is yours.

Most of us already have an old pair of jeans that are begging for an upgrade. You can also use old mens jeans for the patches or even other fabric you have. You want this look to be really unique so mix up colors, shades of denim, or even textures. Don’t hold back, this is a bold trend, it’s time to have fun!

Love this trend, but not much of a patched jeans person? Try a cute skirt or a bag.

To style this trend and keep from looking like you’re cleaning house, it’s best to pair patched jeans with heels or cute flats, and lots of sparkly jewelry, this is the time for statement pieces.

SUPPLIES YOU’LL NEED:

• Sweater
• Aleene’s Jewel-it glue
• Beads (I used 2 different sizes)
• Freezer paper
• Design – download here
• Pencil
• X-Acto knife
• Cardboard
• Iron

My inspiration for this sweater.

step 1
Print out your design, you can download the one I used here.

step 2
Lay your freezer paper over your design with the shiny/waxy side down.

Trace your design onto your freezer paper.

step 3
Using your x-acto knife carefully cut out your design.

step 4
Slide your cardboard inside your sweater and lay your sweater out flat.

step 5
Place your freezer paper stencil on top of your sweater (make sure it’s waxy side down).

step 6
Using a hot dry iron press your freezer paper onto your sweater.

Keep your iron moving and press for 1-2 minutes.

I pressed my main design down first and then pressed in the center pieces to my “O”.

step 7
Start adding your glue inside your stencil right onto your sweater.

Completely fill in your design with your Jewel-it glue.

step 8
Once your design is filled in with glue, carefully peel off the freezer paper and you’ll have your design in glue on your sweater.

step 9
Start adding your beads.

I used a mix of small and medium sized beads. You can mix it up however you like.

Make sure you completely cover your glue with beads.

Once you have all your beads where you want them let it dry for a few hours.

As the glue dries it will become clear.

It’s really fun to cover a pouch or bag with lots of colorful designs. I was inspired by this dress from Dolce and Gabbana. I LOVE the playful designs and mixes of color.

This is a fun pouch that can be used as a cute makeup pouch or a pencil case.

One of the really cool things about Tulip’s Dimensional Paint is that you can sprinkle glitter on top of it or press beads or pearls into it before it dries to give it a really unique personalized touch.
