How to tear jeans beautifully at home? How to make ripped jeans with your own hands?
Ripped jeans are all the rage right now. They are perfect for casual style and will complement any summer wardrobe. Making beautiful scuffs and tearing jeans is not difficult at home. If you have old jeans that you want to transform in this way, the tips in this article will be useful to you.
What can you wear ripped jeans with? They go with almost everything: with a t-shirt and sneakers, you will get a simple and stylish look for every day, and with a smart blouse and high-heeled shoes, you will have a complete look for a party. However, ripped jeans come in a variety of styles, with fraying, cross-cuts, cut-out pieces of fabric, and some blending it all together.
Photos will help you decide exactly how you want to rip your jeans:
Ripped jeans add flair to everyday looks, giving boldness and independence to even the most restrained classic outfit. Scuffs and cuts look stylish with almost any style of jeans - with straight options, and with skinny models, and with fashionable boyfriends.
Here is another way to rip jeans - not just stripes are cut here, but round holes. These jeans can be worn even in autumn with translucent tights. This model looks especially organic when the edges of the jeans are also cut without seams.
Horizontal cuts with scuffs look especially stylish on light-colored jeans. The white threads remaining at the place of the break practically do not differ in color from the main fabric and due to this they look unusual. Light ripped jeans on tanned skin will look especially interesting.
Now simple horizontal cuts on the knee have come into fashion. Until you bend your legs, they are almost invisible. It's a stylish, minimalist rip-off for those who find all-over-fabric fading to be unnecessarily provocative.
How to rip jeans properly?
Do not rush to immediately make cuts on jeans. Although they look natural and casual, this is a misleading impression - you need to rip your jeans carefully and thoughtfully for the result to look really stylish. First, decide where exactly you want to rip your jeans. Here are the most popular options:
- Jeans torn at the knees
- Jeans torn above the knee
- Jeans ripped above front pockets
- Torn back pocket
- Cut-off jeans
All these options can be combined in various combinations. What are the most popular ways to rip jeans?
- Attrition (transverse white threads)
- Horizontal cross slits - from small to long, occupying the entire front of the jeans
- Oval and round holes
To make jeans torn at home no different from those bought in a store, you need to make cuts carefully and competently, following simple recommendations.
- Always mark the cut on the fabric with soap or chalk beforehand. Do not draw lines on the eye. First, put on your jeans and think about where you want to see tears and scuffs, outline these places, and only then draw clear lines. This will help you avoid nasty surprises when the gap intended at the knee ends up being higher or lower.
- Denim is very stretchy, which means all your cuts will stretch and get bigger over time. This is especially true for round holes.
- If you can't decide on a design, just find ripped jeans you like and copy the tears and fading from them. So you will know exactly how the final result should look.
How to rip jeans at the knees?
Both simple horizontal knee slits and wide openings are now popular. Consider how to tear jeans in this way.
To make a transverse strip on the knee, you need:
- Put on jeans and draw a line. The strip should be exactly in the middle, on the bend of the knee.
- After that, remove the jeans and make the line more even and clear. P
- Put something even and thick on the inside of the jeans, such as a piece of plywood, so as not to damage the back side.
- Then make a neat cut with a sharp clerical knife along the intended line - scissors will not work, because they will not work with a straight line.
- When you have made the incision, you can pull back the threads with a needle along its edges - this will give the effect of tearing the fabric.
You can rip jeans by cutting a round hole at the knee:
- Put on the jeans in the same way to mark the desired spots, then take them off and clearly draw an oval or circle. Keep in mind that over time, the hole will stretch and increase in size.
- The oval must also be carefully cut with a knife, placing a flat hard board on the inside. At the end, you can walk with a fine grater along the edges of the cut to create a worn effect.
In combination with a horizontal cut or a round cut, several short, frequent horizontal cuts look great:
- Just determine their place and make a few movements with a knife, and then create a careless effect by pulling the threads with a needle along the contour.
- Best of all, such cuts will look at the knee or a little higher, where the fabric tightly fits the legs.
- You should not make them below the knee, because they will be almost invisible there.
How to make faded jeans
Often there are not just torn, but frayed jeans. Attrition is formed with the help of transverse white threads. It can be done almost anywhere - on the knee, below the knee, above the knee, at the hip or on the back pocket.
White threads, which we need for beautiful wear, form the inside of the fabric, and blue threads are colored.
- To make a fray, mark a place for it and make light movements with a grater from left to right.
- You do not need to apply too much force so as not to accidentally damage the white threads, otherwise the scuffs will not work.
- If the grater did not completely remove the outer blue layer of the fabric, you can pry off the extra threads with a crochet hook and pull them out.
- After you have made the desired scuff, it remains to process the edges.
- A smooth transition from white to the main color of denim looks good. You can achieve it by processing the edges with a pumice stone. She will fluff the threads, add volume to them and lighten them slightly, which will give the same transition.
How to rip men's jeans?
To rip men's jeans, you can use all the same techniques as for the design of women's jeans. Cuts and scuffs on the knee will look good - this is almost a win-win option. You can also make fraying or many frequent cuts just above the knee or on pockets.
Men often wear black jeans. Keep in mind that scuffs may look a little different with them. If the jeans are also dyed black on the wrong side, you won't be able to achieve the same color difference effect when worn. And, if you have a white underside, be prepared that the contrast with black will be stronger.
