Feeling: Bored
Listening: GLEEEEEEEEEEBecause DIY is fun and sharing is good, let's all learn how to make distressed denim shorts, my new favourite!! :D:D (And because unemployment is making me bored)
Materials:- Denim shorts that you are bored of wearing
- OR a pair of denim jeans that you no longer want!
- Scissors
- Pen knife
- Sharp objects
1. HemCut the hem away because it gets in the way. We need frayed ends! :D
Open up the scissors and use the sharp side to do this. Just keep "grinding" the scissors on the edge of the shorts to get the frayed look. Try pulling out some threads.
2. Holes in Jeans, yoTo make holes in jeans, there's several methods, including the most straightforward - Use a scissors to cut a hole. But it's not so pretty! So here's other suggestions.
Position your scissors as seen in picture and keep griding the scissors on jeans. I didn't bother putting anything in between to seperate the 2 pieces of cloth because I don't mind having another hole at the back.
End products:
This is the same thing, just lined up side by side. When I wear I usually fold in the pocket so all you see is my bare skin woo sexy.
You can also use a penknife to slash through but..
The results is a clean slash instead of a more rugged look with threads coming out, which I don't like. But it saves a hell lot of effort and time! :D
3. More Distressing!To make it even more distressed without making it too holey, let's destroy the cloth.
I used the sharp edge of thingy in nail clipper.
Here's the end product. Not really obvious but it didn't create so much of a hole.
4. End Product
Frayed ends.
Slashed look.
New favourite shorts :D
