Patchwork denim jackets have been ruling runways in recent months but can end up costing one a pretty penny, something this Honestly WTF craft project aims to put an end to. The denim DIY tutorial shows readers how to create their very own patchwork denim jacket while sticking to a tight budget.
Made with a denim jacket of one's choice -- the tutorial makes use of an oversized garment -- this project invites crafters to play around with a series of different iron-on patches. Whether purchased from specialty, craft or fabric stores, the patches come in a number of shapes, sizes and colors, including a tiger head and red roses, used to make this particular style.
Once arranged in a desired pattern and ironed on, these patches make any denim jacket look more authentic and upscale, recreating expensive runway looks for a fraction of the price.
