Before proceeding with gluing, rhinestones must be laid out on a jacket so that it becomes clear how they will look after finishing work.

It is easiest and quickest to work with rhinestones that are attached to glue. They will not fall off even if the jacket is machine washable.

In some cases, the resulting flickering patch of rhinestone is recommended to flash along the contour with a thread.

Spikes look good with scuffs, torn sleeves.

Using pins, you can create an interesting motif on the denim surface of the jacket.

Another component of whitening is hydrogen peroxide. It is enough to add 2 tbsp to the powder. spoon means. Peroxide does not harm the washing machine. If the tone you get doesn’t quite suit you, then you can repeat this wash again.

Leather sleeves and denim create a brutal look, and sleeves from a fleece jacket with a jacquard pattern are homely and cozy.

If you use sleeves from a knitted sweater, then you get a casual image in a casual style for walking around the city or relaxing.

Decorating with fur will make a denim jacket an indispensable element of the wardrobe in the fall. Cuffs, collars, a hood (if any) are processed with fur.

The soft folds of the Basques perfectly emphasize the waist and give the image femininity. A basque can be long, short, with an abundance of folds or more restrained. Such a jacket allows you to visually transform the figure, hiding too wide hips.

To make torn holes on the jacket, you will need scissors and tweezers. Initially stripes are cut. They are placed parallel to each other.

The blue threads of the jeans are removed with tweezers.

The remaining white ones clearly demonstrate the “teariness” of the product. After washing, the holes become more disheveled.

Such torn elements go well with rivets and spikes.
