"Here's what to do if you mess up. Basically, you've got some paint. It's somewhere on your jeans you don't want it to be. It's pretty easy to fix actually. Basically, you want to get your rag or paper towel and just dip it in your water. You can use any because it's water soluble, any soap. I'm just going to use a little bit of hand soap. Dab it on there, rub it in, and then you go in and scrub it out just like you would any stain. It comes out fairly easily. The thing to do is if you have scrubbed out something and your jeans are wet, wait a little bit to continue to paint. If the jeans are wet, the paint might bleed a little bit if you're trying to get a really fine line. Just go ahead and scrub it out. You can even get a hair dryer if you wanted to speed it up a little bit. Just scrub it out and then wait for it to dry, and then you can just go right back over it."
