Like I mentioned last week I was looking for a way to bring back to life a pair of beloved pants that had been bleach stained. So after a lot of thought, I decided to paint the stained parts and this is how I did it!
You will need:
- Stained garment
- Fabric paint
- Foam brush
- Masking tape
- Scrap paper or cardboard
- Hair dryer (optional)
The pants were stained on the back pockets and the front left leg.
1 – Insert some paper inside the leg and the pockets although I didn’t really need it in the end since the fabric was quite thick. Skip this step at your own risk!
2 – Mask out your design with masking tape and using a foam brush, start painting.
I wanted the painted areas to be a similar color to the rest of the pants so I had to mix two colors together. I found doing it straight on the fabric wasted a lot less paint.
3 – Dry coats of paint with a hairdryer to speed things up. I ended up doing about 5-6 coats.
4 – Remove masking tape after the final coat is dry and you’re done!
Yay! Stained pants are new again! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and Happy August!
See you soon!
