DIY - Colored and studded jacket!

So, i decided to transform a white jacket that i bought at H&M in the end of season sale.
A good friend of mine named Dror Geva, helped me to create this.

What you need is:

 - A white Jacket.
- A Fabric color powder.
- Spray glue.
- Studs.
- Studded Buttons.

Instructions:
Dye the White jacket to any color you wish (i chose electric Blue),
Fill a big can with hot water, 10 spoons of Salt, one cup of Vinegar and the fabric color powder.
Mix them all together, Put the Jacket inside for at least 20 minutes and give it a spine every ones in a while.
After doing all that, wash the jacket with cold water, let most of the color out, and put it on a hanger to dry.
Take the dry jacket and give it a good ironing (on a doll, if you have).
Ones you finish that, take the jacket open the lapel and mark (with chalk) where the lapel is folding.
Take the studs and put them on the marked lapel, cut the studs by the mark.
Spray glue on the back side of the studs, and place them on the lapel (carefully!), repeat this on the other side as well.
Sew carefully over the studs (use a plastic foot for the sewing machine).
Now, unbutton the cuff buttons, and the front buttons, and hand sew the studded buttons.

And, wallllaaaa, you got an amazing coloured and studded jacket!!!


Enjoy!   :)
