Hi everyone! Distressed jeans are one of my favorite denim styles. It pairs well with casual and edgy looks. I love the DIY results so much that I might do another pair =)

Materials:
- Jeans (Mine are from Old Navy)
- Fabric chalk (available at fabric stores, Target, etc...)
- Scissors
- Wood block (hardware or lumber stores can give you this for free =)
- Tweezers
- Sanding block (available at Target)
- Razor
- Sand paper
Step 1: Wear jeans and mark above the knee cap & on upper thigh
Step 2: Cut two small clean lines
Step 3: Insert wood block
Step 4: Gently fray the edges
Step 5: Loosen and gently pluck out threads
Step 6: Cut bluntly with razor blade to create a natural destroyed look
Step 7: Trim excess threads
Step 8 : Fray the edges & sand area to enlarge the opening
Step 9 : Heavily sand thigh area and below the knees to create a more distressed look

Thank you so much for watching!

  • It doesn't look distressed or frayed at all. It only has two retarded lookin holes in it.
