Right now Balmain is one of my favorite designer. But I don’t have the type of money to buy things I want from Balmain. So I tried to remake some of my favorite pieces. One being the jean jacket that Kanye West wear to the Met Gale.

So to make this Balmain inspired jacket you will need 6 items.

  1. Jean Jacket (You can use any jean jacket you like a old one if you have one)
  2. Crystallize Fabric Patches
  3. Hot glue gun, Fabric glue, or Needle and Thread
  4. Crystals
  5. Pearls
  6. Scissors

After you have got all the items you need to make your Balmain inspired jacked you can start by placing your crystallize patches in different places until you find exactly where you like them to be. After you have decided where you want them you can start to glue or sew them in place. Gluing them on is the easiest way, but sewing them on is a more sturdier way to place them on. Then moving on to placing the crystals and pearls. You have to glue on them. When your happy with the look you have made let the jacket dry for 24+ hours.

This is how my jacket turned out
