Instructions
Step 1
There are many ways to artistically "ruin" jeans. The easiest way to make holes is with a regular clerical knife. Carefully select the place on the jeans that you want to decorate with cuts, place a thick plate under it (a box lid, board, hard cover will do), then start cutting holes across the leg without leaving large gaps between them. There are a lot of cuts you need to make so that your jeans in the selected place begin to fall apart into separate threads. After that, remove fine threads and dust from the surface of the jeans and wash them. Washing will give the holes a natural look.
Step 2
If you like scuffs and small holes on your jeans, you can use a pumice stone. To do this, put a hard plate under the right place, wet your jeans with plain water and start rubbing. You need to carefully monitor that the abrasion is even, use the pumice stone carefully, it is better to perform this procedure in several passes, so you can achieve a more interesting effect.
Step 3
You can use nail clippers or a ripper to create holes. Use a sharp tip to pull the threads out of the spot on your jeans where you want the artistic hole. You can pull the threads along or across the legs. The scissors and the ripper are easy to control, so you can end up with a rather intricate pattern of holes and tears. Jeans cut in this way will look even more spectacular after washing.
Step 4
It should be borne in mind that cuts and tears on jeans look especially impressive if the surrounding fabric is a little bleached. You can use bleach or bleach and bleach on the desired area of your jeans before cutting and tearing them. It is enough to apply the solution to the desired areas for a while. The most convenient way to do this is with a sponge, so you can control the amount of bleach, after which the jeans need to be washed. As a result, you will get beautiful "scuffs" in which you can make interesting cuts.
Step 5
Consider how you can decorate your jeans by combining several techniques. You can make cuts and tears not only on the legs, but also on the pockets and on the belt. Add scuffs to the hem of the jeans and the edges of the pockets for a more harmonious look.
