Materials

• Assorted ribbons in a variety of widths and coordinating prints, patterns, and solid colors (we used 5 different ribbons ranging in width from 3/8″ to 1 1/2″ and approximately 2 yards of each different ribbon, adding several more yards for the belt)
• Pre-made ribbon roses, bumble bees, butterflies, and daisies
• Wooden beads, fringe and other charms
• Needle and thread
• Jeans with wider legs

Directions

1. For ease in stitching, open the inside seam on the jeans leg.
2. Pin rows of ribbons in a pleasing manner across the bottom of the jeans. Be creative and vary the size and patterns of ribbon used, having multiple rows of ribbons in place. Stitch by machine using a straight stitch along both edges of ribbon. (If you prefer, lightly glue ribbon along center of ribbon to jeans to secure, before stitching edges down.)
3. Hand stitch ribbon flowers and “bugs” to jean legs. Create flower stems by stitching rows of ribbons under flowers. If using a narrow ribbon for stems, these may be zig zagged in place through the center of the ribbon, instead of down each edge.
4. Stitch pant leg seams together.
5. For additional embellishments, make ribbon bows and stitch by hand to pockets. String wooden beads on long narrow ribbon lengths and tie together to create a belt. Hand stitch ribbon roses and other flowers to pocket edges.
