Destroyed jeans have been in style for quite some time now, and they are still on trend for this summer. I don't know about you, but I always found it a challenge trying to make my own! I found some tips yesterday that I tried out today, and they are wonderful!
Step 1:
Start by placing a block of wood inside one of the pant legs, under the area that you want to distress.
Step 2:
Slice jeans horizontally with a utility knife at several spots on each leg.
Step 3:
Rough up the fabric by rubbing the sliced spots with a pumice stone.
Step 4:
For extra shredding, pick the threads apart with a needle. Washing and drying the jeans before wearing them will also distress the rips more.
Cut-off shorts have been around for awhile now, and I really don't see them going away anytime soon! Here are some very easy tips to make your own!!
Step 1:
Put the jeans on and mark the length on the inseam. Add an extra 1/2 inch for the frayed edges.
Step 2:
Take the jeans off. Lay flat on the ground and cut the jeans straight across with very sharp scissors. It's easier to cut through both layers all at once!
Step 3:
Machine-wash and dry to get the frayed edges. Important reminder: the more you wash the jeans, the more they will fray!
