Applique Embellished Jeans

Applique Embellished Jeans These super cute applique embellished jeans were made using small iron-on dragon flies and flower appliques. Simple embroidery techniques were also used to add further interest and enhance the look of the jeans. A flight path was stitched to give movement to the dragon flies and grass was added where the flowers appear to be planted.

You can substitute the dragon flies with butterflies if you'd like. Ladybugs sitting on the flowers would also look adorable. These appliques were store bought but you can also make your own using felt. To begin this project, find a good pair of jeans and some appliques.
