I wanted to learn how to make these jeans for my 3 year old and often wondered how to make characters on the jeans and couldn't figure out how other than a projector hahaha. I have now realized how simple and easy it is and honestly I can't wait to get started. Thank you!!!

Let's say you want to do a stencil. Very easy. What you're going to need is your velum or tracing paper. This is actually what the paper looks like. You tear a sheet off. You're going to lay it over your design. Then you're going to take a Sharpie or a pen and you're going to trace over the design. Then you're going to flip it over. You're going to fill it in with a charcoal pencil. You're going to lay it on your jeans and rub it off. I'm going to show you how to do that. Let's say that this was a stencil. Basically, it's a design. You take your Sharpie. You copy the design. I'm just going to do a little bit to show you here. Then you're going to flip it over. You're going to fill it in with your charcoal really quick. Of course, yours would be much better filled in than this. Then you're going to lay in on your jeans and you're going to rub it off. Then once your charcoal is on there, you just paint right over it. Very easy.
