How to rip jeans beautifully
Jeans are the favorite thing of fashionistas, with which you can emphasize all the charms of the figure. For several seasons in a row, ripped jeans have been at the peak of popularity. There is no need to spend a lot of money to purchase such clothes, because you can make a fashionable thing out of old trousers yourself. In this article, we'll show you how to do it.
beautiful holes
Do not rush to randomly cut holes in the fabric. Initially, turn the jeans inside out and examine the composition and weaving of the fabric. Holes look very nice on a canvas of different colors from the wrong side and the front side. In this case, the threads will be dyed in a different color than the main fabric. Using a pencil, draw the places where you will make holes. Try to keep the stripes parallel to the weave of the fabric. Otherwise, you will get irregularly shaped oblique holes.
Before cutting the canvas, place a board or any hard surface inside the leg. Make an incision using a utility knife. After that, you can start decorating the hole. This is done by creating a fringe from threads. If the fringe turns out to be oblique, align it with nail scissors. Be careful around the pockets, you can accidentally cut them. The fabric lining of the pockets, which is visible through holes and scuffs, does not look very nice.
We lighten the threads
If the color of the threads merges with the canvas, then they can be lightened with whiteness or any bleach with chlorine. To do this, it is enough to apply a bleach solution to the threads with a brush. When choosing places for holes, try to avoid the knee area. In these places, over time, the holes increase, and the threads stretch.
Decor with lace and spikes
If you want to change your jeans beyond recognition, you can hem lace or thin fabric with a floral print under the holes. Thus, the little thing will look very feminine. These jeans can be worn with chiffon blouses and tops. Even heels go great with ripped lace jeans.
Aggressive boyfriends are all the rage right now, so don't rush to throw out your old jeans. Using a clerical knife, make several horizontal cuts in the upper part of the leg. With a regular needle, pull out a few threads to make a strip of threads. Purchase spikes and rivets at the hardware store. Attach spikes around the perimeter of the cuts.
scuffs
If the product seems not creative enough to you, you can add scuffs on the pockets and at the bottom of the legs. This can be done with sandpaper or a fine grater. Please note that it is necessary to move the grater from side to side along a horizontal line. Thus, you will get neat scuffs. You can lighten them with ordinary bleach or Domestos. To do this, apply bleach to the area you want to lighten and hold for 20 minutes. Rinse the trousers and wash them in the washing machine.
Don't be afraid to experiment. If you are not sure of success, you can work out on a piece of old jeans or a vest. In extreme cases, you can make cute shorts out of pants.
