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 buy them at exorbitant prices, unaware that a masterpiece can be created independently without spending a tidy sum. However, as in any other business, it is necessary to have certain skills and clearly follow the instructions. Consider the important aspects in order.

Source product selection

1. Material. Choose trousers from classic jeans of medium density, this will greatly facilitate the process of creating a fashionable thing. It is not worth choosing stretch trousers for processing, they are difficult to process due to the fact that there will be no fringe around the holes. Very often, when creating torn stretch jeans, arrows subsequently appear, which reduces all efforts to “no” and spoils the design idea.
2. Cut. An important aspect of creating ripped jeans is the right choice of the initial cut of the product. Choose a product based on the type of figure: trousers should be moderately tight or a size larger. On too narrow jeans, the holes will stretch, and will look messy. If you choose wide trousers, the holes will hide behind the folds and they will not be visible.
3. Style. It doesn’t matter if you choose “skinny” or “boyfriend” trousers as the initial version, the design will look equally good on all types of products. As for planting and coloring, they also do not play a special role. To facilitate the task, it is advisable to choose a product without artificial fibers with a high content of cotton.
4. Options for cuts. Gaps must be made based on the size of the legs. If you have large hips, it is worth choosing classic trousers on which cuts are located vertically. In order not to visually reduce the lower part of the body, do not make holes 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 knees and upper thigh. Low ladies should give preference to “skinny” trousers with holes located randomly on the entire surface. Without exception, you can choose bright acid jeans that will set you apart from the crowd.

The process of creating ripped jeans

The technology assumes the presence of slots parallel to each other and located horizontally. The number of cuts you choose yourself, but the holes should not occupy more than half the width of the leg. Make holes that are different in length to give a casual look.

Tools required:

• dense board about 0.5 * 1 m in size .;
• stationery knife;
• 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 in 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 figure allows you to create cuts in the knee, they need to be done above or under the cup. Otherwise, when you sit down, the slots will disperse along the cut line.

Technology

1. Lay the jeans on the floor so that they do not wrinkle. Insert in one leg, which will be processed, a small piece of plywood. Such a move will avoid cuts on the back of the product.
2. Now take a wide board on which the whole leg will fit. Lay the jeans on it and fold it up so that the free edges of the product are sandwiched between two boards.
3. Circle the previously drawn lines with chalk to pinpoint the beginning and end of future holes. The number of slots for processing jeans should be in the range of 5-8. In this case, do not create holes too close to each other, observe an interval of 4-6 cm. It is not necessary to make cuts at the same distance.
4. After you have decided on the length and location of the lines, you can safely proceed to cutting. If you need to make even edges, cut jeans with scissors, after making a small hole with a blade.
5. In cases where the goal is to create disheveled slits, make them a clerical knife, it does not cut so accurately. After that, pull with a needle several threads of a dark color for greater naturalness. No need to pull a lot, after washing they themselves will come out and take the desired shape.
6. Now select on the surface of the trousers places where you can make small slots 3-4 cm long. Draw them with chalk, then cut with a clerical knife. Since denim consists of interwoven yarns of different colors (light and dark), you only need to stretch the dark yarn spaced vertically. First bring them out with a needle, and then finally pull them out with forceps. Small holes of this kind can also be made on the back pockets.
7. Once you have created the slots, take a pumice stone. Rub the pockets, waistband and hem hem below the trousers. Optionally, you can decorate the area of ​​the holes with rhinestones or sequins. To give your jeans a shabby effect, dampen the fabric with warm water and rub the exposed areas with sandpaper.

Practical recommendations

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 trousers, the slots located at a great distance from each other look beautiful on them. At the same time, it is recommended to treat with pumice not only the lower edge and pockets, but also individual places on the surface of the trousers.
3. Bold and eccentric young women who have legs from their ears should look at the option with a large number of cuts. Make cuts from the upper thigh to the beginning of the knee at a distance of 4 cm from each other.
4. If you want to make jeans more stylish, use bleach. Sprinkle them with a chlorine-based product to make a few large and many small drops, leave for 10 minutes and wash in the machine.
5. It is worth remembering if the slots are made in a bottleneck, after a certain period they will stretch. In cases where the holes are located in wide places, they will narrow over time.
6. If you make holes a short distance from each other, try not to overdo it. Otherwise, there is a risk of a single hole.
7. Girls who do not want to expose their legs for all to see can be hemmed with openwork or mesh fabric under the slots. It is only important to carefully attach it from the wrong side. If you do not have these skills, place the fabric on the adhesive tape from the inside.
8. You can decorate ripped jeans with beads, sequins, rhinestones, lace. It is preferable to decorate pockets, waistband and the area around the holes. As for the slits themselves, try threading them with floss, making a thin line along the border.
9. Start cutting jeans from the bottom. Such a move will allow you to turn your pants into capris or shorts if something goes wrong.

How to wear ripped jeans

1. To emphasize the figure and give the image sophistication, wear a silk blouse of red or green. Pick up stiletto heels and a handbag in color.
2. In everyday life, you can wear pastel ballet shoes and a top of the same shade. It is important that the shirt does not expose the stomach very much, otherwise the image will turn out to be vulgar.
3. Ripped jeans look beautiful with white sneakers from well-known brands (Adidas, Nike). In this case, it is enough to supplement them with a white T-shirt and cardigan of any color without fasteners.
4. In hot weather, get any color T-shirt, make several horizontal cuts on the back. Put sandals on your feet through your finger and voila, the summer look is ready.

Make ripped jeans is not difficult, given all the possible nuances. Do not neglect intermediate fittings to eliminate the possibility of product damage. Choose a dense fabric consisting of two layers of different shades. Decorate your pants with rhinestones or beads, choose the appropriate image for yourself.
