The relevance of ripped jeans has not faded away for several years. For example, women's jeans-2011 were simply strewn with small holes and large scuffs, this trend of fashionable "well-worn" has persisted to this day. Neither designers nor buyers can explain the popularity of this type of clothing. 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 people wonder how to make holes on jeans with their own hands.
Of course, no one cancels the option of buying an already finished thing, but I also want to save money and look beautiful. Knowing how to make holes on jeans with your own hands, you can create a truly stylish thing.
There are two hand-made methods:
- Traditional.
- Innovative.
The traditional way to make holes on jeans with your own hands is quite simple. It lies in the fact that during work should use pumice 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 method involves five steps in the work:
- Before making holes on jeans with your own hands, you should determine where the white threads of denim are. The secret lies in the fact that they are located parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the leg.
- The size and shape of the future hole should be noted using chalk (possibly replaced with soap).
- According to the indicated marking, several incisions are made so that their lines coincide with the white threads.
- Manicure scissors (tweezers, stationery knife) - the most important tool in the work. The selected tool must be very carefully pull the white thread out of the incision. As soon as several such threads are pulled out, the dark threads of the fabric will begin to peek.
- It is from dark threads that you need to get rid of to get fashionable pants.
You can bring to life any form of a hole: from the cross to the heart. Torn 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, from the wrong side you need to fix everything with beautiful stitches so that the shape does not get lost during wear. To get a better result around a future hole, you can make a scuff, which will become a relevant attribute of jeans. It is done with pumice or sandpaper. Pumice is suitable for giving things a slightly worn-out look, but sandpaper will allow you to create real, fashionable scuffs. For a more accurate abrasion, you need to choose sandpaper with small granules.
Before starting work, in the leg, where scuffing is planned to be done, it is necessary to put a solid object, for example a board (plywood). This is done so that the back of the trouser leg retains its appearance. During friction, a lot of guns are 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, and then rub the leg with the selected tool. Scuffing and creating a hole can be combined, since with pumice and sandpaper it is quite possible to "rub" the leg up to the hole. After work, jeans must be washed, after which a fashion accessory is ready to go out.
