Spray me silver

A cheeky can of metallic spray paint jumped out at me whilst routing through the cupboards last week. After looking through blogs I decided to bring some life to my old faded black skinny jeans. 

I started by protecting my carpet with a black bin bag, and laying the jeans out flat. I sprayed the top first, which came out really nice. 


I then set to work on the legs. This was really difficult as the spray paint didn't seem to cover everything even though I was spraying evenly. 


Eventually after spraying both the front and back, my work was done! 



This was a trial and error project, and my supplies were limited. The paint I used was just some metal paint (not fabric paint) so it had a really strong paint smell to it. I hand washed my jeans and sadly some of the paint came off. I'm now left with a slightly patchy pair of sparkly silver jeans :(
