Denim Vest with Nailheads and Rose PIns

A Quick Guide: How To Bejewel A Denim Vest In A Few Steps

I love a great bargain and was very excited when I snagged this denim vest for less than $6 at Target. Although already decorated with lace inserts, I still wanted more bling. It’s easy to bejewel a denim vest even if you’re a beginner. 

For this project, you need:

• 6 -  34ss Fuchsia Rose Pins
• 6 - 8.5 mm silver star nailheads
• 8 -  8.54  mm silver pearl nailheads
• Pair of scissors

How To Use Nailheads On Denim

Rose Pins feature a Swarovski Elements Rhinestone attached to a stainless steel nailhead back. They work great with thicker denim material.

 I decided upon a simple straight line design and drew a chalk line as a guide to keep the embellishments on an even line.  Then simply take a nailhead and press the prongs  through the material so that the prongs are on the inside of your garment.  Using the flat blade of a pair of scissors, bend the prongs towards the center of the nailhead.

Continue adding rose pins and nailheads until your design is completed. This is how my vest looks. How would you have embellished it? 

Note: We no longer carry nailheads or rose pin rhinestones.
