DIY Distressed Frayed Jeans

:: BLOG :: http://wendyslookbook.com

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!

yeah it might have looked too clean cut, but i think it fits her personality perfectly. and she's just giving us the basics so that you can tear up your jeans to your heart's content. her heart just happened to be content with a tear in the knee and a few cuts at the thigh :)
