How to make ripped jeans at home

Ripped jeans, which seemed to have gone out of fashion, are back on the pedestal. This piece of clothing can be increasingly seen in the collections of eminent couturiers. Of course, these jeans are more popular among young people. This choice is suitable for courageous people who want to add a share of eroticism and freedom to their image. Ripped jeans look very fashionable and extravagant. They can be found on the shelves of any clothing store. However, due to the growing demand, the price for them is rather big. But you can diversify your image with such trousers in a less expensive way. We will look at several options for how to make ripped jeans at home.

It should be noted that trousers made of classic jeans are suitable for this experiment. The density of the fabric should be medium. It is also worth paying attention to the cut - jeans that are too wide will lie freely, and torn sections simply will not be visible. But on very narrow models, the fabric will stretch, and the cuts will look unaesthetic. The best option is skinny jeans. When choosing the size and location of the cuts, consider the type of your figure. And one more thing - such bold clothes require leg skin care and timely hair removal.

The grunge effect on jeans only creates an image of randomness and lightness. In fact, the cuts must be done carefully. Before starting the procedure, it is necessary to try on jeans and mark the gaps with chalk or pencil. You can also mark the lines by hanging the jeans evenly. During the procedure, do not neglect the intermediate fitting - it is better to modify it a little than to spoil the thing with holes that are too large. Places for holes are better to choose above or below the knee. It is not recommended to make cuts on the knees or on the folds, subsequently the fabric in these places may tear even more. So, we create a trendy wardrobe item on our own.

Preparing to make ripped jeans

For this we need:

• sharp knife (clerical) or blade;
• scissors;
• a piece of plywood;
• needle;
• sandpaper.

When the desired break points are outlined, you can get to work. To begin, place the plywood under the layer of fabric to be treated so as not to damage the back of the jeans.

It is necessary to make incisions depending on the desired result. There are several options for creating a trendy distressed jeans effect at home.

Casual grunge jeans

We make 6-7 cuts about half the length of the leg. For a more casual look, the cut lines can be of different lengths. If jeans are cut with scissors, smooth edges are obtained. And to make the cuts look shabby, use a clerical knife.

Tousle the cuts by pulling out a couple of blue threads.

Then finish the edges of the legs. To do this, cut off the hemmed edge.

And for a torn effect on the edge of the jeans, use sandpaper or a piece of pumice stone.

Then, in the same way, make several cuts on the jeans pockets.

Do not forget to put a plank under the processed fabric.

Minimalist ripped jeans

Make two parallel cuts 5-6 cm long. The distance between the cuts should be approximately 5 cm.

Denim has a second layer of white threads, which will help us in this case to achieve the desired result. Now take the tweezers and begin to carefully remove the blue vertical threads.

Remove all threads from the beginning to the end of the cut. As a result, you should have only white horizontal threads left.

Make several such segments on both legs. You can also vary their size to your taste.

Distressed jeans

For a more shabby effect, the holes on jeans can be of different sizes, and arranged in a chaotic manner.

The edges of the cut are processed with sandpaper or using a regular vegetable grater.

You can also enhance the effect as follows. With the help of a needle, it is necessary to pull out several threads, then break them unevenly.

This is a rather casual option that will suit young daring ladies.

The possibility of creating an individual image is not limited to the proposed options. It is enough to show imagination and make cuts on jeans in the form of figures, or put colored fabric under the holes. It all depends on your courage and desire to look original. Making ripped effect jeans at home is easy, and the result will please you with a new fashion item in your wardrobe.
