How to make holes in jeans with your own hands? There are two ways!

has not faded for several years. For example, women's jeans-2011 were simply strewn with small holes and large scuffs, this trend of fashionable "worn" has been preserved to this day. The popularity of this type of clothing cannot be explained by either designers or buyers. Perhaps the whole point is that this fashionable little thing with torn and frayed trousers gives the appearance of a person not only a mischievous look, but also makes him visually younger. Many are wondering how to make holes in jeans with their own hands.

Of course, no one cancels the option of buying a ready-made thing, however, you also want to save money and look beautiful. Knowing how to make holes in jeans with your own hands, you can create a truly stylish thing.

There are two ways to hand-made:

  1. Traditional.
  2. Innovative.

The traditional way of how to do it is quite simple. It lies in the fact that when working, you should use pumice stone or sandpaper. Of course, such holes will look very neat, but it will take a lot of time. Therefore, the second method is more relevant.

The innovative way involves five steps in the work:

  1. Before you make holes on jeans with your own hands, you should determine where the white denim threads are. The secret lies in the fact that they are parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the leg.
  2. The size and shape of the future hole should be noted with chalk (it is possible to replace it with soap).
  3. According to the indicated markup, several cuts are made so that their lines coincide with the white threads.
  4. Manicure scissors (tweezers are the most important tool in the work. With the selected tool, you must very carefully pull the white threads out of the incision. As soon as several of these threads are pulled out, dark threads of the fabric will begin to show through.
  5. It is from dark threads that you need to get rid of to get fashionable pants.

You can bring to life any shape of a hole: from a cross to a heart. Ripped jeans, photos of which can be seen in any fashion magazine, can be decorated in a very creative way and look very original. To make the holes on the legs look as neat as possible, on the wrong side you need to fix everything with beautiful stitches so that the shape is not lost during wear. To get a better result, you can make a fray around the future hole, which will become an actual attribute of jeans. It is done with pumice stone or pumice stone is suitable for giving things a slightly worn look, but sandpaper allows you to create real, fashionable scuffs. For more accurate scuffing, you need to choose sandpaper with small granules.

Before starting work, a solid object, such as a board (plywood), must be placed in the trouser leg where the scuff is planned to be made. This is done so that the back of the leg retains its appearance. During friction, a lot of fluff is formed, which may well settle on furniture and carpet, so this procedure should be done in an empty room or in the corridor. Before starting work, moisten the jeans, then rub the trouser leg with the selected tool. Attrition and the creation of a hole can be combined, since it is quite possible to “grind” the trouser leg to a hole with pumice stone and sandpaper. After work, jeans must be washed, after which the fashion accessory is ready for publication.
