Ideas to DIY Rhinestone Jeans

Rhinestone jeans are a hot fashion item. However, most retail rhinestone jeans use the cheaper less flashier rhinestones. And jeans that use higher quality rhinestones are quite pricey.
​
Then sometimes you just have a favorite brand that you like to wear. That pair that fits so well and feels so great and it is your go-to jeans. But, sometimes even your favorite pair can use a face lift or upgrade. How about adding some bling? Why not embellish them with some rhinestones? You can buy your favorite brand and embellish them yourself and for a lot less than retail.

Can you DIY Rhinestone Jeans?

Will rhinestones stick to denim? Yes. Even though denim is a thick material, you can glue rhinestones to jeans. My favorite fabric glue is Gem-Tac and it works well for gluing to denim. It dries clear, is washable and the flow is easy to control. Additionally, is E6000 another popular choice for gluing rhinestones to fabric.
​
The most important thing to remember when gluing rhinestones is to make sure some of the glue seeps out from the sides of the rhinestone. This produces a seal which helps protect the rhinestone from peeling off. Place a drop of glue slightly smaller than the rhinestone on your jeans and gently press the rhinestone into the glue drop. Some of glue should ooze out from the sides.

​Some ideas to get you started on your Rhinestone jeans

Now that you’ve decided to embellish your jeans with rhinestones, what next? If you are a beginner, you can start with something simple. Put a few rhinestones on the back pockets. Simply glue a straight line of rhinestones along the top edge of the pocket. Shift lines and use multiple colors for a more intricate design. 

​Another idea is to use fabric paint and rhinestones. Use a stencil and fabric paint a design on a pant leg of your jeans. Craft stores are great places to find stencils. A trick I like to use is to copy designs out of embroidery books on card stock. Using an X-acto knife, cut out the insides and you’ve got yourself a stencil. Embellish parts of the design with rhinestones to make it pop. 

There are so many ways to personalize your jeans with rhinestones. Search the internet for ideas to get inspired. Release your imagination to make you own unique pair of rhinestone jeans.
