Hello!
Today I have a little DIY project for you. Distressed and ripped jeans are very in at the moment but that doesn't mean that you have to rush out and pay more than you need to for a pair of jeans that have already been ripped. Instead if you spend a little time you can transform an old pair of jeans.
For this you'll need
A pair of jeans
Scissors & Tweezers
The first thing you need to do is have a look at your jeans and decide where you want to cut them.
I decided to rip both knees first off.
Lay your jeans flat, pinch them slightly (make sure you don't pinch the front and the back as you don't want to turn them into shorts) then make a little cut. Now cut a straight line with your scissors.
Depending on how big you want your rips/holes leave a few inches then make an identical cut below.
Then what you want to do is grab a pair of of tweezers. You want to gently pull the threads away from your cuts. This starts to give the rips a bit of a worn in look. Don't worry about this too much though because you will be throwing these in the washing machine which will do the hard work for you.
At this point I had
a quick look at my jeans and decided I wanted some rips further up the leg nearer the thigh. My advice would be start small, you can always make the cuts larger if you want to!
Keep going until you're happy with the look of the jeans. Try them on a few times and see if you want to make any more cuts. As a final step, throw them in the wash. This will just get rid of any loose threads and distress the rips even further.
I hope you enjoyed this little DIY!
