Rhinestones can revolutionize your old jacket. For this, the collar is stripped. The neck and sides of the product are processed with a strip of metallic fabric, on which a scattering of sparkling stones is attached. The width of this finish is approximately 7-8 cm.

Beads
Beads look very impressive on denim. Their different sizes will allow you to create an unusual and beautiful relief. Scattering them in a chaotic manner on cuffs, collars, etc., you will become the owner of an exclusive and unique thing that no one else has.
Beads of the same size, for example, white, can be staggered at the top of the front shelf of the jacket. Looks gentle and cute.
Another decor option is a pattern that is laid out with beads. But you first need to draw it on paper, and then attach it to the product. Beads are sewn on in accordance with the received stencil.
It is important not to overdo it with color if the color of the beads is too bright. The abundance of colors will turn the jacket into bad taste.
If you have placed a large decor on one side of the collar, then you need to balance it with an appropriate set of beads, for example, on a pocket that is located diagonally.

The denim jacket is no exception. The studs can be positioned on the shoulders, back, collars and cuffs.
Hair length can be the only problem. They will cling to the thorns and bring a lot of discomfort. Therefore, you will have to think about the hairstyle in parallel.
Spikes look good with frayed, ripped sleeves.
Pins and rivets
With the help of pins, you can create an interesting motif on the denim surface of the jacket.
To do this, the selected template is transferred to the fabric, and then laid out with pins. The convenience of such a decor is that it can always be changed, because the pins are a detachable element.
Rivets, unlike studs, do not look so aggressive. The disadvantage of such a finishing material is that holes are needed for attachment. Therefore, you will not be able to change your denim jacket in any other way.
