DIY: Easy Steps To Creating Your Own Stylish Distress Jeans Out Of Your Old Jeans

Are you wondering what to do with that old jeans instead of throwing it out? Well, you can put it back in fashion.

Yes, you can fray those jeans yourself and they would turn into an edgy new wardrobe piece.

Here is how to do it.

You would need a couple of tools. But don’t fret, these things can be easily found at home.

The jeans you want to work on, scissors, sandpaper, white pencil or chalk, tweezers and a ruler.

Step 1

Before you start, you need tor iron out your jeans so that the length would be accurate.

Using a ruler or tape and a pencil, carefully measure where you want your cuts to be. You can make as many or as few as you wish — this is your design. You can mark one or two obscure places to add additional distress apart from the obvious ones.

Step 2

Straighten out your jeans so the fabric is even. Following the marked lines and using scissors, make your main cuts as accurate to the lines as possible.

When making cuts by the knee area, avoid cutting too closely to the seams. The more you wear your jeans, this frayed area will naturally grow, and you don’t want to compromise the structure.

Step 3

Using your tweezers, pull the tiny white threads from the areas you have cut. How much fray you want is up to you. But note that the fray increases when you wash.
Take your sandpaper, and rub the areas where you want the distressed look. I recommend having a few types of sandpaper on hand, as each varying texture will give you a different level of distress and allows you to create a versatile, customized look.
