Make ripped/ torn denim jeans

Hollywood stars glam up with an awesome pair of torn or ripped denim jeans which can cost hundreds of dollars. How would you like to have a pair with little or no cost at all? It?s quite easy actually.

Step 1
Insert a block of wood or a thick card board inside the pant leg under the area where you will add the rip or shredding. You can use an old pair of jeans or get a new pair from a thrift store. It does not need to be expensive or branded.

Step 2 Slice using utility knife Start slicing the fabric horizontally using the utility knife. Make sure that you will not cut through the other side of the fabric. You can put the rip in areas that you wouldn’t naturally tear to make it look better. Vary the width and length of the tears as well… be creative.

Step 3 Pumice stone
Roughen and scrape the fiber in the ripped area by rubbing with a pumice stone or sandpaper. Be careful not to rub it too much and cutting the horizontal fibers.

Step 4 Pick the threads apart using a pin or needle to add an extra shredding.

Step 5 Wash and dry before wearing the ripped jeans to further fray the fabric. That’s how easy it is!
