How to make holes and scuffs on jeans at home?

Fashion for torn and frayed jeans has existed for more than one year. They are loved to be worn not only by young people who want to stand out, but also by all those who like originality and originality in clothes.

These jeans can be quite expensive. But making holes in jeans is easy with your own hands. But do not forget, in order to beautifully transform jeans, you need to follow the rule: everything should be in moderation.

Where to begin?

For work you will need: jeans, a blade or a clerical knife, a piece of plywood (thick cardboard, a simple cutting board will do), nail scissors, chalk.

Before making holes, you need to put on jeans and mark with chalk the places where future cuts are planned. It is undesirable to make holes on the knees, as it does not look very aesthetically pleasing, and over time, even small holes can turn into huge shabby holes. It is better to choose a place above or below the knee.

Two ways to make beautiful holes

So, to make holey jeans at home, you need to follow the following steps.

1. Any jeans have a layer of white threads that are parallel to the bottom edge of the legs. It is necessary to make two cuts (shallow) parallel to the white threads. This can be done with a blade, but it is much more convenient with a thin clerical knife (be sure to insert plywood inside the leg) or a scalpel.
2. With the tip of scissors or something sharp, you need to pick up and pull out the white threads. This must be done carefully so as not to tear them.
3. Perpendicular to these threads is a layer of dark threads. They need to be picked up and pulled out, first one at a time, then in bunches. The resulting hole with white threads is ready.

By the same principle, you can make beautiful holes in the form of various shapes, for example, hearts. The main thing is that the shape of the incision should be parallel to the white threads. So that the hole does not lose its shape from washing, on the inside it must be glued with interlining and stitched edges.

You can sew bright fabric on the inside, making jeans with holes even more original and eye-catching.

You can make cuts with "noodles" - long and frequent cuts - you get a bright unusual model.

If the first method did not suit you, then here is another master class with a different type of slots:

Thanks to the holes, you can give a second life to old and worn jeans that you just wanted to throw away.

Jeans with bleached holes look pretty impressive. To achieve this, you need to treat the desired places with whiteness or a solution of chlorine. To do this, apply the prepared liquid to the jeans with a swab, leave for a while, and then wash them thoroughly.

It will be very interesting to look if you make holes not only on the legs, but also put a few cuts on the belt and pockets. You can also fringe the hem of your legs by rubbing with a pumice stone or sandpaper.

You need to wash torn jeans manually or in an automatic machine: put them in a special bag for washing delicate linen or in an old pillowcase and only then load them into the drum of the machine. Otherwise, the relief walls of the drum may tear the jeans to the end.

Those who do not like ripped jeans with large holes can be offered to make elegant scuffs at home.

In order to make scuffs on jeans, you need to take: pumice stone, sandpaper, plank, emery bar, grater.

1. First you need to determine the place where there will be scuffs, mark them with chalk or ordinary soap.
2. Insert a plank into the trouser leg, and rub in the marked place until the desired effect. Do not press hard: a hole may form.
3. With the help of a pumice stone and a grater, you can achieve a shabby scuff with a small fringe. And if you wipe your jeans with fine sandpaper or a bar, you get a worn effect.
4. It is better to process wet jeans, as rubbing will form fine dust, which is very difficult to remove from carpets and furniture.
5. Tattered and frayed jeans can be decorated with rivets, rhinestones or paper clips.

What to wear?

Worn and holey jeans should be properly combined with other wardrobe items. If there are a lot of holes, plain t-shirts and ballet flats will be the best addition. With a small amount, a heavier and brighter top is acceptable.

Beautiful boots or high-heeled shoes will give the look a finished look. Pair a satin blouse with feminine pumps for a romantic and flirty look. Open shoes, beads, beautiful earrings, a fashionable belt will make the fairer sex elegant and feminine.
