Costume Aging with Rubber Mats (stonewashed effect)
Stonewashed effect the easy way
Costume aging with rubber mats is easy as pie - we show you in our little distressing wokshop how it works (two movies)!
Our videos will hopefully provide all the answers you need. But if not, just write your questions in the comments - we shall answer them immediately.
Or just give us feedback about your own experiences (we would very happy about that!).
The picture shows jeans that have been dried several times with rubber mats in the tumble dryer.
Always keep in mind: you will get the stonewashed effect only through the rubber mats and the friction in the dryer.
You do not need heat!
Tumble dryers with a 'gentle' or even 'cold' cycle are ideal for this method of costume aging as the garments will keep their original size and not shrink!
