- 1). Roll up the bottom inch or two of the overall legs to create an attractive cuff. This helps balance the planter and gives the illusion of well-worn jeans.
- 2). Crumple 6- to 8-inch sections of aluminum foil into loose balls. Fill the legs and body of the overalls with balls to form the shape of an infant's body. Avoid overstuffing. Fill in around the shoulder area to hold the straps up.
- 3). Stand the jeans up on the table and readjust the foil balls until the jeans balance naturally and stand on their own.
- 4). Saturate the fabric with fabric stiffener using a large brush or soft cloth saturated with stiffener. Adjust folds and the overall shape of the jeans with your hands until you create a natural pose. Allow to dry for 24 hours.
- 5). Remove the aluminum foil balls from the inside of the bib overalls.
- 6). Coat the outside of the bib overalls with craft resin to create a hard glossy finish. Follow the instruction for mixing the resin and apply with a soft brush, beginning at the shoulder straps and working downward. Use care to get into creases and folds and cover all areas with a thin coat of resin.
- 7). Allow to dry for 24 hours. Add a plant pot or vase through the neck hole to display cut flowers or potted plants.
