DIY: Distressed Jeans

You can make ripped jeans with just a pair of scissors. The best part? You don't have to spend a fortune buying distressed jeans from the store. Here's what you need to get started:

~Scissors

~Tweezers

~Pair of jeans you don't mind cutting-any will do it just depends on your liking; if you can't seem to find a pair you want to cut try buying a pair from the thrift store (mom jeans work best when cut down for distressed shorts.)

Step 1: Cut a few slits where you would like your distressed patch to be; have each cut parallel to the other as well as parallel to the bottom of your jeans. Make sure you don't cut the back of your jeans.

Step 2: You will see blue and white strands of thread; using the tweezers pull away the white strands of thread until you can easily see each individual blue thread.

Step 3: Pull out the individual blue threads, this should leave all the remaining white threads so that they look like this:

Step 4: Throw the jeans in the washer and dryer to help with distressing the holes even more.
