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 possess certain skills and to follow the instructions clearly. Consider the important aspects in order.

The choice of the original product

1. Material. Choose pants from classic jeans of medium density, it will greatly facilitate the process of creating fashionable things. You should not choose 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 ragged stretch jeans, arrows subsequently appear, which reduces all efforts to "no" and spoils the designer's idea.
2. Cut. An important aspect of the creation of ripped jeans is the correct choice of the original cut of the product. Choose a product based on the type of figure: pants should be tight enough or a size larger. On too narrow jeans, the gaps will stretch and will look sloppy. 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 boyfriends as an initial option, the design will look equally good on all types of products. With regard to 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. Variants of cuts. The holes must be made based on the size of the legs. If you have large hips, you should choose classic trousers, on which the cuts are arranged vertically. To visually not reduce the lower body, do not make the gaps too close to each other. It is the 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 thighs.Low ladies should give preference to skinny pants with holes arranged randomly over the entire surface. Everyone, without exception, 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. To give carelessness, make holes that are different in length.

Required tools:

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

Training
Try on jeans to figure out exactly where the slits will be located and what size they should be. Draw a chalk line of suitable holes. Throughout the creation of the masterpiece, you must measure the trousers in order to notice possible deviations from the specified course in time. If the figure allows you to create cuts in the knees, they need to be done above or below the cup.Otherwise, when you sit down, the slots will disperse along the cut line.

Technology

1. Lay jeans on the floor so that they are not creased. Put a small piece of plywood in one leg to be processed. Such a move will avoid cuts on the back of the product.
2. Now take a wide board on which the whole pant leg fits. Spread the jeans over it and tuck it so that the loose edges of the product are sandwiched between two boards.
3. Chalk lines that have been drawn earlier to pinpoint the beginning and end of future holes. The number of slots for processing jeans should be in the range of 5-8. It is not necessary to create holes too close to each other, observe the interval of 4-6 cm. It is not necessary to make cuts at the same distance.
4. Once you have decided on the length and location of the lines, you can safely begin to cut. If you need to make smooth edges, cut the jeans with scissors, after making a small hole with a blade.
5. In cases where the goal is to create a disheveled slot, make them a stationery knife, it cuts not so accurately.After that, pull with a needle a few threads of a dark color for greater naturalness. No need to pull 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 cuts of 3-4 cm in length. Draw them with chalk, then cut them with a clerical knife. Since denim consists of intertwined threads of different colors (light and dark), you need to pull out only dark threads that are arranged vertically. First pull them out with a needle, and then finally pull them out with forceps. Small holes such a plan can be done on the back pockets.
7. After you create the slits, take a pumice stone. Rub pockets, belt and hemmed bottom of the trousers. If desired, you can decorate the hole area with rhinestones or sequins. To give jeans a worn-out effect, moisten the fabric with warm water and rub the intended areas with emery paper.

Practical recommendations

1. Ripped jeans require thorough foot care, you need to carry out the procedure of depilation / epilation in time and moisturize the skin with a cream.
2. If the choice fell on wide trousers, slits, located at a great distance from each other, look beautiful on them. It is recommended that not only the bottom edge and pockets be treated with pumice stone, but also certain places on the surface of the trousers.
3. Bold and eccentric young ladies who have feet from their ears, you should look at the option with a large number of cuts. Make a slit from the top of the thigh and 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 chlorine-containing agent to make several 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 narrow place, 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 at a short distance from each other, try not to overdo it. Otherwise, there is a risk of a single hole being formed.
7. Girls who do not want to put the legs on public display, can be hemmed under the cut openwork or mesh fabric.It is only important to carefully attach it on the wrong side. If you do not have these skills, put the cloth on the adhesive tape from the inside.
8. You can decorate torn jeans with beads, sequins, rhinestones, lace. It is preferable to decorate the pockets, belt and the area around the holes. As for the cuts themselves, try to sheathe them with floss threads, making a thin line along the border.
9. Start cutting jeans from the bottom. Such a move will allow to turn pants into capri pants or shorts, if something goes wrong.

What to wear with torn jeans

1. To emphasize the figure and give the image sophistication, wear a blouse made of silk of red or green color. Pick up patent leather shoes with a pointed nose and a handbag to match the color.
2. In everyday life, you can wear ballet flats in pastel shades and a top of the same shade. It is important that the shirt does not strongly bare the belly, otherwise the image will 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 buckles.
4. In hot weather, buy any color T-shirt, make several horizontal cuts on the back. Put sandals on your legs through your finger and voila, summer look is ready.

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