Wonder how you can do it? Here is an easy step-by-step guide to creating your very own distressed pair of jeans.

You will require a few tools to complete the process — chalk, a pair of tweezers, safety pins, a magazine or a bunch of newspapers, a box cutter, and of course, a pair of old denim.

  • First, mark the areas where you want to add the distress with the chalk.
  • Insert a magazine or a thick bunch of newspapers to avoid cutting the bottom layer of the denim
  • With your box cutter, cut horizontal strips along the area you have marked
  • Now, pull the threads apart with a safety pin
  • Once you have teased enough, you will notice some frayed fringes appear. Use your tweezers to remove the short vertical threads, to create the holes
  • Repeat the last three steps to give your denims a brand new look!

Once you are done with the process, do share images of your work.

Happy new denim to you!
