I DIY'ed up a storm last night. Decided to return the purse and as i normally do when i stop shopping, started altering up a bunch of my own clothes instead. </p> <p>I'm interested in this but hesitant about jeans you can't throw in the wash. My striped Balmain inspired pants have to be washed after one wear because they are a bit stiffer and after wearing them they loosen up quite a bit in the behind area/don't hold shape for very long. But at least i can throw them in the washing machine! </p> <p>Still, neat idea though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-natalie-and-others-waxy-denim-diy-without-the-wax#post-613290 Sun, 06 May 2012 05:04:11 +0000 goldenpig 613290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks cool! But I wonder how well they'd wash and whether the paint would flake off onto the other clothes? I decided coated jeans aren't for me...they look cool, but just not practical for MOTG--I need washable jeans. But I wonder how Andrea did with her pair? I know she was going to try it, I'm curious whether it came out OK.</p> <p>I did wear my red snakeskin pants today though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-natalie-and-others-waxy-denim-diy-without-the-wax#post-611943 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:39:52 +0000 Anonymous 611943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is cool,,thanks rae. </p> <p>I tried otter wax on some jeans and it was a disaster. I used a pair of black jeans with too much stretch and they absorbed too much wax. They wouldn't dry and smelled so strong. I tried saving them by soaking in hot water, but it didn't work. In the end I tossed them into the garbage. Lucky they were cheap Goodwill jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-natalie-and-others-waxy-denim-diy-without-the-wax#post-611478 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:13:28 +0000 rae 611478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember Natalie DIYed some waxed denim but that the wax ended up a little stciky - I came across this video with an alternate technique that should dry down all the way. The downside is that it involves paint to match your denim - so if you want to wax printed denim perhaps just use the gel they recommmend? </p> <p><a href="http://www.fabsugar.com/DIY-How-Make-Coated-Denim-22898678?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+fabsugar+%28FabSugar+-+Have%2C+Want%2C+Need.%29" rel="nofollow">http://www.fabsugar.com/DIY-Ho.....C+Need.%29</a> </p>
