"In terms of picking out a design, I would suggest if you're a beginner to pick our something fairly simple. You'll probably have a little bit success than picking out something really elaborate. However, if you have painted or drawn before, go for it. Do whatever you want. I picked out something somewhat elaborate in these jeans. They're a little wild and crazy, but do am I. When I wear them out, people absolutely love them. They stop me. They want to know where did I get them. When I tell I painted them, they just think it's the coolest thing. Now, you can do this for your own jeans. Actually, what I really like about these is this sort of design in the front here, which is pretty unique. You see jeans like this out in the stores up to 700 dollars, these custom painted jeans. Now, I'm showing you how you can do them yourself. This is sort of like a little bit more like tattoo inspired. If you want something a little more delicate, we've got flowers, little butterflies, something cute. That's pretty much it. Pick what you like and go for it."
