DIY: How To Make Your Destroyed Jeans
05:04Distressed jeans are so attractive you want to get it but don't want it. It's hard enough trying to look for the one that suits your taste without making you look shabby and you really love it but can't bring yourself to purchase such a ludicrous outfit.
Well I'm here to save you from that stress. All you need to do is get an old pair of jeans from your closet and in no time, you will be rocking your destroyed jeans.
I got so bored one day, I decided to pick an old pair of jeans from my closet and after following a manual closely, I made my first distressed jeans lol at the end of the day, I felt like I achieved something.
Things you need
• Old pair of jeans
• Tweezers
• Hard cover book
•A pen
• Sand paper (optional)
• Blade or scissors
• Tape (Optional)
1. Wear your old jeans and take a tape to measure where you want to distress. Use a pen to mark the point.
2. Lay your jeans on a plain surface then put your hard cover under it to avoid cutting the other side of your jeans.
3. Use the sand paper to roughen the place you want to cut to make it look old and easier to cut through.
4. Start cutting to the shape you desire, to achieve a simple cut on the knee you could turn your jeans to the wrong side and fold the knee while you use a scissor to cut it without reaching the edges.
5. Use a blade to make cut straight lines. Remember to leave a large space gap before cutting another line.
6. After cutting, get your tweezers and start pulling out the thread of the cut lines to give it the distressed look. Pull out till you feel you achieved the look.
7. Dry clean your jeans after you are done. You could add a little bleach on the distressed side to make it stand out.
Tada! Your destroyed jeans is ready to wear. Remember to pair your jeans with a nice shirt, blouse or blazer and a nice pair of accessories.
