DIY polka dot denim {spruce up old jeans!}
A few weeks agone I stenciled some dotted hearts on a pair of jeans for my daughter, and I loved them so much I wanted to make a pair of polka dot jeans for myself. Since I wasn't sure if this experiment would work out equally well, I grabbed a $1 pair of jeans from the austerity store to play with and a bleach pen. This was one of the easiest refashion/upcycle projects I've ever done and I'm pretty excited about the results.

Hither'south what I did:
I let my jeans sit with the bleach on them for a full 24 hours before throwing them in the wash, and the dots came out nice and bright. If you lot wanted more than sutble dots, you could wash the denim later on just a few hours.
A few notes:
Before you start making dots on your fabric, experiement on paper to see how much you need to utilize for each dot. Since the bleach pen is a gel, it will sit every bit a dimensional dot on the material when yous first apply it.
You want your dots to exist about the same size, only if they vary a piddling information technology won't be noticeable once it's finished.
I did not put anything within my jeans legs and I didn't have whatever problems with it bleeding through from the front end to the back, but if your denim is very sparse y'all might want to slide some cardstock within each leg before you beginning dotting.
