Instruction manual
1
Ripped jeans can be made from any pair. You can buy inexpensive jeans in the store or take the pair that you already wore. Lightly worn and worn jeans will look more stylish than dark and brand new ones. To give new jeans a more worn and worn look, you need to wash them several times in hot water using bleach.
2
Put on jeans and use chalk to mark the places where you are going to make incisions.
3
Place the product on a firm, level surface. You can put a piece of cardboard or a wooden block under the leg, so as not to cut the back of the leg.
4
Using a cheese grater, sandpaper, or pumice stone, gently wipe the areas where you want to create a torn effect.
5
Scissors scratch the edges of the slot to create a corrugated effect. If you do not want to make cuts, but just limit yourself to scuffs, then you do not need to use scissors, just rub the place with emery paper until horizontal white threads are visible.
6
Use scissors or a clerical knife to make straight horizontal cuts where you marked them. It is not necessary to make too large cuts so as not to spoil the product. You can increase the slots after repeated fitting.
7
With tweezers, start pulling the vertical threads where the cuts have already been made. You can leave some threads, which will create a natural effect.
8
After you have made the cuts, you should wash the jeans well. This will help create a more worn out look. Do not make cuts near the seams, as they can be separated when the product is worn. You do not need to make too large cuts at once, because washing and wearing the product will increase their size and wear over time.
Useful advice
If you want to make cuts in the knee, it is advisable to make them a little higher, since during walking the slot will become much larger than we would like.
