Sooner or later everyone is faced with such a problem: they bought good, solid, expensive jeans, they are worn well, for a long time, they are not torn ... But the problem is that there is no way to take them down! And they occupy a place in the closet on the far shelf, because it is a pity to throw out, and it’s sickening to look at them - they’re so tired. In fact, the problem is solved simply. Give your jeans a second chance!
What can be done with jeans that are out of fashion? Yes, anything! Neat holes, scrapes, various applications and, finally, they can simply be altered into a wonderful bag, skirt or shorts.
In this article I will describe in detail how to make holes and scrapes on jeans.
Let's start with the choice of premises. It should be understood that when you do scuffs on jeans, the fluff from the fabric will fly everywhere, so you should abandon the idea of doing it in the room and do it in the bathroom, on the balcony, or on the street. Before making holes and scuffs on jeans, treat them with “Vanish”, the fabric will become more pliable. Now put on your jeans and mark on them the places where you want to make a hole or scuff. In the area of the knee, it is dangerous to scuff, because very soon it will simply turn into a hole, because in this place, when walking, the fabric is deformed as much as possible. But if in the future it is planned that attrition should turn into a hole, then this should not scare you. In order for the scuffs to be more accurate, and you could control their depth, you should choose sandpaper, pumice or fine sand. In order not to damage the main threads, the surface should be treated only from the bottom and guide the paper, sand or pumice up the fabric, without a strong pressure on the fabric. Before processing, put something solid inside the leg so that you do not accidentally damage the rear leg. Be sure to wash your jeans after all the procedures done with them - so your abrasions will look more natural.
But there is another way to make holes and scuffs on jeans. This method is more complicated, it requires more accuracy, but the effect of this method is more natural and beautiful. At a distance of 2-3 centimeters from each other, neat cuts are made with a razor of any desired length and desired width.
After that, excess transverse threads are carefully removed and only longitudinal ones are left. The photo of the jeans on the left shows clearly how this is done. If this is the first time you are wearing scuffs on jeans, then it is better to do it the first way, since it is simpler and does not require any special skills.
Holes on jeans are made easier. Also, something solid is inserted between the front and back legs, and holes are made with a razor or sharp knife. Be careful, it’s better to make small cuts first, so that they become larger over time, because if you make large immediately, you will not return anything back. Remove the thread around the cut - the hole is ready! The edges of the holes can be decorated.
Artistic attritions and holes always look quite original and modern. This detailed description of how to make holes and scuffs on jeans will always help you to be at the peak of fashion and not to keep old clothes in the closet, giving it a second, interesting life.
