Dazzle in a Bling Fringe Jacket Like Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood has been dazzling audiences during her Denim & Rhinestones Tour with show-stopping fringe jackets covered in sparkling rhinestones. These eye-catching bling jackets have become one of the must-have looks for Underwood fans attending her concerts. With some simple DIY skills, you can easily recreate this glamorous fringe jacket look for your own night out or concert.

Supplies Needed for a DIY Bling Fringe Jacket

To make your own Carrie-inspired rhinestone fringe jacket, you will need:

• A denim jacket
• Rhinestone mesh ribbon
• E6000 adhesive
• Scissors

Look for a classic denim jacket in a wash and fit that flatters you. Dark washes like black, blue, or gray work well as a base for sparkly rhinestone fringe. For the fringe, choose a rhinestone mesh ribbon that matches or complements the color of your denim. An adhesive like E6000 glue will hold the fringe securely on the jacket.

Planning the Fringe Design

Once you have your supplies, it’s time to plan out your fringe design. Look at photos of Carrie Underwood’s fringe jackets online for inspiration. Take notes on where she has placed the fringe accents - along the sleeves, shoulders, lapels, pockets, or hemline. Also pay attention to the length of her fringe strands.

Decide which areas you want to accent with fringe on your jacket. Measure the dimensions of those sections to determine how much fringe you will need. For a concert-worthy amount of sparkle, plan to fringe the shoulders, sleeves, and back of the jacket. Buy enough rhinestone fringe ribbon to complete your planned design.

Applying the Rhinestone Fringe

To attach the fringe:

1. Cut lengths of fringe to your desired length. The longer the strands, the more drama and movement you will get.
2. Apply a thin line of E6000 glue along the area where you are adhering fringe.
3. Press the end of the fringe strand into the glue and hold for 30 seconds to secure.
4. Continue gluing and applying fringe pieces side-by-side until the area is filled in.
5. Let the glue fully cure for at least 24 hours before wearing your jacket.

Pro tip: Use a toothpick to apply tiny dots of E6000. This helps control the glue for a precise fringe application.
