DIY Magical Cloud Jeans...10 Minutes to Create...So Easy...So Fun!
With inspiration from a Cloud-Filled Sky, I designed an Easy, Cloud Design for my Jeans.
I went with a Subtle Cloud Design - My pallet is a Washed Denim...
For a Bold Cloud-Design, choose Darker Jeans for a Stark/Bold Contrast.
Ready to Create Cloud-Inspired Jeans?? Let's Go!!
Materials You Need;
- Jeans - Any Color, Any Hue. (Light Jeans for Subtle Look...Dark Jeans for Bold Look)
2, Clorox Cleaner
3, Glass Bowl
4, Cotton Balls
First, Pour the Clorox Cleaner in the Glass Bowl. I used Clorox Cleaner, rather than straight Clorox, to create a more subtle look. Straight Clorox could pull all the color out of the jeans.
Clorox Cleaner...Amazon LINK.
Just a small amount is needed for One Pair of Jeans.
Ready??? Let's Go!!
Be sure you have a clean, dry surface to work on...covering the surface is a good idea, to prevent the Clorox from staining the surface.
I balled up 3 cotton balls for my "Dabber"...
Gently Dip the Cotton Balls into the Clorox...Ring Out...A Little Clorox goes a LONG Way.
Now Create Your Design. I like Symmetry...my Clouds are in Rows From Left to Right across the Pant Legs...
I found it easiest to Start at the Cuff and Work Up to the Waistband...
The Jeans quickly absorb the Clorox...Dab Gently and Lightly...
A Heavy Hand will Cause the Clorox to Spread...A Light Touch will allow the Clorox to Stay Where You Plan for the Clouds to Be...
Front is Done...Now Flip Over for the Back...
Keep Dabbing...These are Looking Great...
The Back is Done!
Now, my favorite part...Hang Jeans on a Clothesline in the Sun to Dry...
Wet Cloud-Jeans Flapping in the Breeze...
On a Sunny Spring Afternoon...
Line-Dried..Front..
And the Back...The "Clouds" are Now Pale Blue...Pretty...
Pop the Jeans in the Washer to remove the Clorox Cleaner...Dry.
BEFORE...
So Fun to Wear...
AFTER!

I love polkadots! Very clever idea. When I was young, we did all kinds of things to our dungarees.
we would so patches on them, cut a long piece from an old pair of jeans and cut them into individual strips and then sew them to the side seams like fringe. We would also wash them with a little bit of bleach because when they were new, they were way too blue.
Fashion always come back.
By the way when I was in high school in the 60s and 70s, we weren’t allowed to wear jeans to school and the girls weren’t allowed to wear pants!
Now, when I see my granddaughter wearing a crop top to junior high, I just can’t believe they’re allowed in school like that. I guess I just sound old, but I think we had more fun when we were young. Thank goodness we didn’t have social media or phones that could take pictures to be put on the Internet.
Hi Rita. Thanks for your fun comments!! Jeanne of Doodle T and Me!
