Grommet/Eyelet Hem: Jean DIY


 I am always looking for ways to change up my jeans.  Creating different kinds of hems is a fast and easy way to do that.  In this DIY I took a few eyelets and a spiced up a pair of jeans that  I would have thought about tossing into the give away pile. Click "Read More" if you want to see how easy it was.




 Things You Need
  •  24 Large Eyelets (Wal-mart)
  • Eyelet Setting Tool for the size of your Eyelets. *"I found mine right next to the size Eyelets."
  • Seam Ripper *Optional.
  • Small Scissors
  • Pen
  • Hammer
  • Let out the hem of your jeans with the seam ripper for an edgy look
  • Trim to the length you desire.


  •  Place three eyelets on each the side of the seam
  •  Mark with a pen.
  • With the scissors, make a very small hole where the dots are marked.
  • There is a male and a female part to the eyelet. 

  •  The male part sits in this to keep it steady.

  •  The Male part goes to the out side of the jean.
  •  Female goes on top.
  •  Hit with a hammer very gently until they fix together.

  •  Repeat for all the eyelets.

 

New Jeans.

Have a beautiful day.

  2. Letting out the hem and adding some designs are a good way to lengthen the shorter jeans. The ankle length jean is popular but it looks too short for my taste. Thanks for the motivation.
