How to Embellish Yoga Pants for Belly Dancing
If you are interested in the art of belly dancing or want an authentic costume, embellishing yoga pants is your first step. Yoga pants for belly dancing are very ornate and decorative, so you can use your creativity when adding on decals.
Items Needed:
- Glue
- Yoga pants
- Embellishments
- Glitter
- Figure out where to place the embellishments. This is the first step you must consider before sewing anything on the pants. You might want to place the decals on both sides of the hips since the hips are the main attraction of the dance. You can use tassels and beadwork for both hips. You can also add beads and glitter to the bottoms of the pants.
- Sew the decals on. You will now need to take a needle and thread and dew on the tassels to each hip. You will want to put the tassels right in the middle of the fabric and sew them on with thread of a similar color. If the tassels are too long you will need to cut them so they are at least 3 inches. Smooth down the pants and sew on beads or other embellishments between the tassels. Try not to overcrowd them or else it will look messy and uneven.
- Glue on glitter and other decals on the pants ends. If you have elastic bottoms on your yoga pants, you can give off the look of an Indian princess by adding colorful glitter and sewn on embroidery. Sew on any other materials you deem fit for your pants and make sure they are even. Carefully use glue around the trimming of the pants and lightly sprinkle glitter. You will have to wait for it to dry before you try them on.
