It would seem, is it difficult to turn old jeans that are lying on the shelf, into a fashionable thing?

Often, such an invention ends with the fact that the pants after unsuccessful experiments turn into shorts , and in the worst case go to the garbage can. In this article, we will tell you how beautiful it is to tear your jeans off by accompanying the instructions with a visual photo.

Stylish notches

A few neat (or not) cuts on jeans can transform them beyond recognition. Classical straight jeans with a pair of cuts on the leg acquire a new life. But do not rush to take scissors! First, determine the angle of the warp threads. They are usually painted white. Here it is impossible to cut the threads, since they will mask the cut of the fabric. Before making an incision, designate its length with a pencil or chalk. Then gently cut the fabric. We recommend using not scissors for this purpose, but a stationery for paper. Its thin sharp blade will help to avoid excessive "fluffiness" on slices. Having made an incision, a needle or a needle, stretch the white threads and fluff the main ones (blue, blue, black). The resulting fringe perfectly disguises the threads that will not allow the incision to increase in size.

The number of such cuts on jeans depends only on your desire. If you want to make jeans more bright and stylish, place a dense fabric under the notch with the print you like. The end result satisfies? Then safely sew a shred!

Creating cuts in the form of complex shapes, do not forget that when you wash this decor can change beyond recognition for the better. To ensure that the incision does not lose its shape, glue a piece of non-woven or tape on the glue base from the underside of the jeans. You can process slices and manually stitches, but it's hardly possible to do it imperceptibly.

Wiping

And now about how to make beautiful ragged jeans without cuts, which even with a careful washing can lose shape and "crawl". All you need to have at hand is a common grater, a piece of pumice and a hook for knitting. So, let's get started! The first thing we do is determine where the scrapes will be. Usually they are made on trousers or back pockets. These places should be marked with chalk in order not to get carried away, and not to spoil jeans. Wiping is more convenient to do by putting on your jeans. First carefully with no special effort three jeans grater. Important! All the movements of the grater must be along the main threads, that is, horizontally the floor! If some of the strings do not yield, you can tear them with a crochet hook for knitting. When the colored threads are worn off and only white is left, take the pumice stone and gently rub the edges. First, the threads will swell, and, secondly, you will get a smooth transition of color (whiteness effect).

You can make gaps between white threads, but do not cut them to the bottom. It is better to leave on each side a thread up to a centimeter, loosening it. This will extend the "life" of jeans after repeated washing.
