Step One:

Cut back pockets from jeans, trimming close to the edge.

Step Two:

Tape off rhinestone template to desired size.  Place onto aluminum pan and sprinkle rhinestones on top.  Brush over rhinestones to move them onto the holes in the template.

Step Three:

Move the rhinestones toward one edge of the template and then, place the transfer tape over the rhinestones on the template.

Step Four:

Rub over the transfer tape to secure the rhinestones.  Pull the transfer tape up at an angle to lift the rhinestones out of the template.

Step Five:

Place transfer tape onto denim pocket and then, press over the transfer tape for about 15 – 20 seconds with an iron.

Step Six:

Remove transfer tape to reveal the rhinestones on the denim pocket.  

Step Seven:

Repeat until rhinestones are all around the denim pocket.  Then, add any other rhinestone designs as desired.

Step Eight:

Glue trim onto the back of the denim pocket for a finished look, adding desired trim at the top of each side of the denim pocket for a strap for the purse.

Then…give the Recycled Denim Pocket Purse to a special little one to enjoy!
