Get ready to transform your plain denim into a canvas for your creativity!”  Use acrylic paints with a fabric medium

Why Paint on Denim? Painting on denim lets you add a personal touch, make a fashion statement, and even give new life to old clothing.

First, wash your denim to remove any finishes that might affect the paint. Then, place a piece of cardboard inside the denim to prevent paint from bleeding through to the other side.

Before you dive into painting, use a pencil to sketch out your design. This will be your guide and will help you avoid any mistakes once the paint is on.

It's time to bring your design to life! Use brushes to apply paint to the denim. Start with a white background and use a swatch to test colours.

For a professional touch, use a permanent marker to outline your design. This will give your artwork sharp edges and make the colors pop even more.

Make sure your artwork lasts by setting the paint. Follow the paint manufacturer's instructions, which usually involve either ironing the denim or letting it air dry.

Applique is another fun way to decorate and add interest to denim.  Like these heart applique pockets, perfect for Valentine's
