The one with the fancy pants DIY

One of my favourite websites is Jak & Jil, and that's where the inspiration for this easy DIY projects comes from. I often wear rolled up trousers (I am not that tall). I loved the idea of giving my old jeans a bit of va-va-voom. I got the trimming from Atelier Luna, thanks Eefje!


What you'll need:
  • trimming
  • scissors
  • clear nailpolish
  • hobby glue, I used E6000
  • a pair of jeans


Cut the trimming the right size so it fits the back part of the trouser leg.
Keep it from running with the help of clear nailpolish.

turn your trousers inside out and apply the trimming with glue

Let the glue dry
 
And they're ready to wear!

    What a cute idea, Marieken!
    I have to try this next time instead of shortening my jeans, as I normally do :)

    What a fun DIY! I usually can't find jeans long enough to begin with...lol. But if I do, I'll keep this in mind.

    That is really interesting. I'm not sure if I'm bold for that style but I do like the gold trimming.

    Cute! My pants never have extra length on them because I'm so tall, but I bet I could do this around the outside of the hem and it would look just as cool. Thanks for sharing!

    I love this, I remember glamming up my jeans in junior high and having the best time, so I love that it's coming back!

    This is totally awesome! I'm 5'2, so join you in needing "petite" wear. I'm definitely going to be trying this trick!

    E6000 should stay on in the washing machine. I washed it one time now, and the trimming is still there :-)

    So cute! I'm on the talker side, but this makes me want to buy extra long pants just to try it. Great DIY!

    This is such a good idea! I think rolled up trousers look amazing, especially with brogues, and I love the gold trim you chose xx

    Was just about to ask this! I'd definitely try it then! I have a ton of fun vintage trims & I'm super short so I could use the added accessory :)
