Shabby jeans have always been popular, and perhaps they will never go out of style. Oddly enough, but the price of models with scuffs and holes is much higher than regular jeans. It’s just that such models look more stylish and spectacular, and the girls, as you know, are ready to give any means in order to look stunning.
It turns out that you can rip jeans yourself. It is not necessary to overpay for an already finished model. In addition, it is an opportunity to dream up and model your own fashionable product. So, how to rip jeans at home so as not to regret the spoiled thing?
First you need to choose the right pants. They should not be particularly flexible. Also, the jeans should be tight and high-quality, otherwise the cuts and scuffs will turn into large messy holes. Scuffs look spectacular on models with rhinestones, metal rivets and having an overflow of color (for example, darker on the legs and light on the hips). After the material is selected, we will
rip the jeans with pleasure. You will need a scalpel and chalk. Hang or lay out jeans. Chalk out the places where you would like to see cuts or scuffs. Look in the magazines for different options on how to rip jeans. At home, you can get almost the same result as branded manufacturers. Put on your pants and be sure to make the correct markings. Usually symmetrical patterns are made on both legs, but this is up to you. Sometimes light negligence and asymmetry look very impressive. So, when the markup is ready, you can get to work. Make slits, not tear jeans, otherwise the fabric may tear. After making an incision, carefully pull out the threads so that the hole looks torn rather than cut. You can simply point the knife at the edges of the hole. The more often you make slits, the more patterned the jeans will be. You can achieve the effect of lace trousers by making frequent cuts across the width of the leg.
Holes with scuffs look stylish. They can be alternated, or you can just wipe the jeans to the holes. Only then you need not to cut with a scalpel, but to rub jeans. Then the holes will not increase, and the view will be very attractive.
You can practice on old jeans, especially if you don’t know exactly how to rip jeans. At home, you can use
sandpaper to mash. Then it is already possible to take new trousers, creating from them your own designer model. You can also make
ripped jeans for a friend. This will be the right gift with her own hands, which she will definitely appreciate.
We figured out how to rip jeans at home. But besides this, you need to know how to care for them. After all the cuts and scuffs are done, the jeans need to be rinsed in cool water and dried in natural conditions. It is better to wash them in manual or gentle mode. Be sure to put these jeans in a special case or in an old pillowcase, otherwise the machine will damage the remaining whole thread of trousers and ruin the entire structure.
