How and with what to beautifully wipe jeans at home?

Many modern girls are wondering: how to beautifully wipe jeans at home? This is not surprising, because for such a model in a boutique you will have to pay a tidy sum. Isn't it easier to do it yourself? Of course, however, certain rules must be followed, otherwise you can simply ruin the thing.

Distressed Jeans Styles

It’s worth first figuring out what styles of “worn” jeans exist. Let's consider the most popular:

• Jeans with holes. The holes are usually located in their natural places - the knees. At home, they are often simply cut out with scissors, and the edges are frayed using pumice or sandpaper. For alterations, tight, loose jeans, like “boyfriend” jeans, are best suited for alterations.
• Faded jeans. Scuffs look beautiful just above the knee, on the pockets and hips. You can make them through, almost to the holes, or leave the fabric slightly disheveled and additionally whiten it. The flight of fancy is unlimited; any model of jeans will do, except those that stretch a lot (they are not at all suitable for alterations).
• “Noodles” and fringe on jeans. No less fashionable are 3/4 banana jeans with fringes at the bottom or skinny jeans with longitudinal slits in the front leg. This style can be combined with others, achieving the best effect and originality.

Advice

When choosing one style or another, consider the characteristics of your figure and the tightness of your jeans.

Rubbing technique

Previously, in the 70s, fashionistas and fashionistas used a piece of brick to make spectacular scuffs on jeans at home. Today, jeans can be transformed in more reliable and humane ways.

1. Using a utility knife, blade or scalpel. The technique is quite simple; using one of the tools, transverse short cuts are made at a distance of no more than 5 mm. Then, using tweezers, the horizontal white threads are carefully pryed up and taken out, and the dark vertical ones are pulled out. You can also use a knife, scalpel or blade to make noodles or cut a hole in your knee.
2. Using scissors. The most convenient option is straight scissors with a sharp end, but manicure scissors are not suitable for this purpose; they are quite difficult to cut fabric evenly. Most often, scissors are used to make noodles, cut out large holes, or if it is necessary to make large cuts and abrasions.
3. Using pumice, sandpaper or a fine grater. These items help create natural, natural abrasions of any intensity. To do this, stretch a slightly damp cloth and rub for a few minutes. If you rub long enough, you can make a hole, so be careful, as it dries the effect will be more noticeable. In addition, you can use pumice or sandpaper to process a previously cut hole, this will give it a natural look.
4. Using bleach. This method is used quite rarely, but it is no less effective. You need to treat the previously designated holes with bleach, and then wash the jeans. Then you need to cut out the bleached area, leaving 1 cm around the entire perimeter. In the next step, the edges are ruffled with pumice.Such holes look beautiful and more natural.

Advice

For minor abrasions, it is easier to use a pumice stone, for noodles and longitudinal cuts, a stationery knife, and for holes, bleach and scissors.

Step-by-step instruction

In order not to ruin your jeans, but to make them fashionable, you need to follow a certain procedure.

1. Choosing the right pair of jeans. Too dark, stretchy material is not suitable for these purposes. Give preference to light or medium jeans with a fairly thick thread.
2. Thinking through the image. Put on your jeans and imagine how you would like to transform them. Use chalk or a piece of soap to highlight any scuffs or holes.
3. Preparation of the workplace. Lay the jeans on a hard surface (table, floor) and secure. Insert a wooden board or a thick notepad into each pant leg. This will protect against cuts on the reverse side.
4. Selecting a tool. Based on the effect you need, select a tool; if necessary, moisten your pant legs with water from a spray bottle.
5. Patience and perseverance. Be patient so that the cuts or abrasions turn out neat, take your time. To pull out dark threads, use tweezers and immediately put them in a separate bag. If you don’t do this, they will scatter throughout the room and stick to clothes, carpet, and furniture.
   

   Important!

   Please note that on dried jeans, the wear will be more visible, and any cut will increase during wear.

6. Wash. Wash the trousers in the washing machine at maximum speed. This will consolidate the result.
7. Edge processing. Trim threads that are too long and stitch around the edges of holes and frays to prevent the fabric from fraying.

Advice

Don’t overdo it, it’s better to have fewer cuts and holes; if necessary, you can always add more.
