Dragon Stencil

Don’t throw away those old jeans. Decorate them with this cool dragon stencil.

So, you have an old pair of jeans that you like but you don’t seem to wear them anymore. Before you chuck ‘em out in the trash…why not paint an image on them? It could be this dragon stencil or it could be anything that appeals to you. Go ahead…Make a statement with it!

This project involves painting a dragon stencil on a pair of jeans. Cool idea, huh? I know you’ve thought of painting stencils on walls and furniture, but have you considered painting your clothes? Why not put an image that reflects your personality on a pair of old jeans? You have the talent and as I often say with stencils - it’s easy.

This project idea is all about turning your stenciling interests in a whole new direction – decorating your clothes. Besides, who knows your interests better than you? We all have images and icons that we identify with. It may be frogs, eagles, butterflies…this list of possibilities is endless. And the large variety of stencils available to you is sure to include that one!

The best part is that while having fun re-designing your clothes you’re creating unique items that only you will be wearing. We all want to stand apart from the crowd and the best way to achieve that is to put your own creativity to the task.

This article is all about motivating you. But if you’re ready to start this project, we have the complete step by step plan at How To Garment Stenciling. You’ll find the instructions complete with pictures and more details for stenciling on fabrics.

Here is a close up of the painted dragon stencil on the leg of the jeans. Notice that I used a little gold with glitter paint on top of the red to add a little more pizzazz!
