YOU`LL NEED

• a pair of old boyfriend jeans or chinos
• 4 oz fabric or craft paint
• flat paintbrush
• small plastic tray
• masking tape

STEP 1

Depending on the length of the pants, measure 12-16 inches from the bottom hem to the calf. Use a long piece of masking tape to tape off one leg. Repeat the step on the other leg, aligning the two to ensure evenness. Squeeze 2 ounces of craft paint into the small tray.

STEP 2

Start painting, using generous amounts of paint. Be sure to get close to the edge of the masking tape for a straight line!

STEP 3

Once the legs have been painted, allow it to dry completely. Turn the pants inside out, tape off a section 6 – 8 inches from the bottom (depending on the fold of the cuff), and paint. Once everything is dry, peel away the tape from the inside and out.

STEP 4

Fold the bottom of pants twice into a cuff.

STEP 5

Ready, set . . . color-blocked!
