It's been a hot minute since I painted denim..... and I've missed it! I taught this Fall inspired pumpkin scene in my private group Curiously Creative in a two hour class..... and it was a huge success! So, here is the Fall Painted Denim!
If you are a new reader, hello and welcome to the Fancy Fam! With over a decade of furniture painting experience, I can honestly say that sharing my projects through this blog is still my favorite way to inspire! I've got years worth of fun and creative ways to update your home decor and furniture through paint! If this sounds like something you'd like to have delivered to you every Sunday be sure to sign up for my weekly newsletter here!
Watch this week's Fall Painted Denim YouTube video.
I am mind blown and my heart is exploding with how receptive the ladies in the group were to learning this technique...... and how fabulous their Fall pumpkin projects are!!
I wanted to share the finished fall painted denim projects with YOU!
I hope it will inspire you to try painted denim..... with any design! I purposefully painted THREE pumpkins in THREE color palettes to show you how versatile it can be!
Fall does not have to be "Fall" colors! Just adding a pumpkin to the design lends it to the idea of Fall! I use Dixie Belle chalk-mineral paints to create on fabric..... for a lasting color-filled design that washes well and wears beautifully!
I'll share with you each finished project and the color palette I used to create it!
Teal Fall Painted Denim Overalls
The teal pumpkin on denim overalls is such a fresh and playful twist on Fall! It plays into my love of cooler color tones!
Here are some close ups. What do you think of that color?? Gorgeous, right?
Orange Fall Painted Denim Jacket
The orange pumpkin on the denim jacket is so moody! Don't you think?
I didn't intend for it to be so deep in color tones.... but I really love that it happened! I added the white splatter to give the effect of a midnight sky with twinkling stars. I think this one may be my favorite!
Gray Fall Painted Denim Apron
The gray pumpkin on the denim apron was kept simple on purpose.
All of the projects feature the bleached background with a stencil..... and I really wanted to keep that stenciled design as a feature here.
So I created a muted pumpkin with just a few colors. Sometimes simple is better!
One Last Look: Fall Painted Denim!
Other than the change in colors.... the exact same technique was used on each project.
