How to make ripped jeans at home

Ripped jeans are again at the peak of popularity, they make the image extravagant, stylish and erotic. Young people are buying them at exorbitant prices, not suspecting that a masterpiece can be created on their own without spending a tidy sum. However, as in any other business, here you need to have certain skills and strictly follow the instructions. Let's consider the important aspects in order.

Selection of the original product

1. Material. Opt for trousers from classic mid-weight jeans to make your fashion creation much easier. You should not choose stretch pants for processing, they do not lend themselves well to processing due to the fact that there will be no fringe around the holes. Very often, when creating ripped stretch jeans, arrows appear later, which nullifies all efforts and spoils the design idea.
2. Fit. An important aspect of creating ripped jeans is choosing the right fit for the garment. Choose a product based on the type of figure: trousers should be moderately tight or one size larger. On jeans that are too tight, the holes will stretch and look messy. If you choose wide-leg trousers, the holes will hide behind the folds and will not be visible.
3. Style. It doesn't matter if you choose skinny or boyfriend pants as your initial option, the design will look equally good on all types of garment. As for the fit and color, they also do not play a special role. To make it easier for yourself, it is advisable to choose a product without artificial fibers with a high cotton content.
4. Cut options. The holes must be made based on the size of the legs. If you have large hips, you should choose classic trousers with vertical cuts. In order not to visually reduce the lower body, you should not make gaps too close to each other. It is their chaotic and rare arrangement that stretches the legs and makes them slim.

If you have relatively thin and long legs, you can afford to make incisions in the knee and upper thigh area. Short ladies should give preference to "skinny" trousers with holes located randomly over the entire surface. Everyone, without exception, can choose bright acid jeans that will make you stand out from the crowd.

The technology assumes the presence of slots parallel to each other and located horizontally. You choose the number of cuts yourself, but the holes should not take more than half the width of the leg. To create a casual look, make holes of different lengths.

Required tools:

• dense board approximately 0.5 * 1 m in size;
• stationery knife;
• a piece of plywood;
• scissors;
• a needle of medium length and thickness;
• sandpaper;
• pencil / chalk / soap.

Preparation
Try on jeans to figure out exactly where the slots will be located and what size they should be. Draw with chalk the lines of the holes that suit you. Throughout the creation of a masterpiece, it is necessary to measure trousers in order to notice possible deviations from a given course in time. If the shape allows you to create cuts in the knee area, they should be done above or below the cup. Otherwise, when you sit down, the slots will part along the cut line.

Technology

1. Lay your jeans down on the floor so they don't wrinkle. Insert a small piece of plywood into one leg to be processed. This move will avoid cuts on the back of the product.
2. Now take a wide board that will fit the entire pant leg. Spread the jeans over and fold them over so that the loose edges of the garment are sandwiched between the two planks.
3. Trace previously drawn lines with chalk to pinpoint the beginning and end of future holes. The number of slots for processing jeans should be within 5-8. In this case, do not create holes too close to each other, observe the interval of 4-6 cm. It is not necessary to make the cuts at the same distance.
4. After you have decided on the length and location of the lines, you can safely start cutting. If you need to make straight edges, cut through the jeans with scissors, after making a small hole with a blade.
5. In cases where the goal is to create ragged slots, make them with a clerical knife, it does not cut so accurately. After that, pull out a few threads of a dark color with a needle for more naturalness. You do not need to stretch a lot, after washing they will come out and take the desired shape.
6. Now select places on the surface of the trousers where you can make small slits 3-4 cm long. Draw them with chalk, then cut with a clerical knife. Since denim is made up of intertwined threads of different colors (light and dark), you only need to draw out the dark threads that are vertical. First, pull them out with a needle, and then finally pull them out with forceps. Small holes of this kind can be made in the back pockets.
7. After you've created the slots, take a pumice stone. Rub the pockets, waistband, and hem at the bottom of the trousers. Optionally, you can decorate the hole area with rhinestones or sequins. To give your jeans a worn look, dampen a cloth with warm water and rub the area with sandpaper.

1. Torn jeans require careful foot care, it is necessary to carry out the depilation / epilation procedure on time and moisturize the skin with cream.
2. If the choice fell on wide-leg trousers, the slits located at a great distance from each other look beautiful on them. In this case, it is recommended to pumice not only the bottom edge and pockets, but also individual places on the surface of the trousers.
3. Brave and eccentric ladies who have legs from the ears should look at the option with a lot of cuts. Cut from the top of the thigh to the beginning of the knee, 4 cm apart.
4. If you are looking for a more stylish look, use bleach. Sprinkle them with chlorine to make a few large and many small drops, leave for 10 minutes and machine wash.
5. It is worth remembering that if the cuts are made in a narrow place, after a certain period of time they will stretch. In cases where the holes are located in wide places, they will narrow over time.
6. If you are making holes a short distance apart, try not to overdo it. Otherwise, there is a risk of forming a single hole.
7. For girls who do not want to expose their legs for everyone to see, you can hem openwork or mesh fabric under the slots. It is only important to carefully attach it from the wrong side. If you do not have this skill, place the fabric on the duct tape from the inside.
8. You can decorate ripped jeans with beads, sequins, rhinestones, lace. It is preferable to decorate the pockets, the belt and the area around the holes. As for the slots themselves, try stitching them with floss threads, making a thin stitch along the border.
9. Start cutting at the bottom of the jeans. Such a move will allow you to turn pants into capri pants or shorts if something goes wrong.

What to wear with ripped jeans

1. To accentuate your figure and add sophistication to your look, wear a red or green silk blouse. Choose patent leather shoes with a pointed toe with stiletto heels and a handbag to match.
2. In everyday life, you can wear pastel-colored ballet flats and a top of the same shade. It is important that the T-shirt does not expose the belly too much, otherwise the image will turn out to be vulgar.
3. Ripped jeans look beautiful with white sneakers from famous brands (Adidas, Nike). In this case, it is enough to complement them with a white T-shirt and a cardigan of any color without fasteners.
4. In hot weather, get any colored T-shirt, make several horizontal cuts on the back. Slip the sandals over your toes and voila, the summer look is ready.

Ripped jeans are not difficult to make when you consider all the nuances. Do not neglect intermediate fittings to exclude the possibility of damage to the product. Choose a thick fabric made up of two layers of different shades. Decorate trousers with rhinestones or beads, choose the appropriate look for yourself.
