Ripped jeans have been seen on everyone this summer. Buying jeans that are already ripped can be expensive. But there's good news. It's easy to rip your own. With the right steps, materials, and patience, you can rip your jeans quickly and easily.
Choose your jeans
You can rip any pair of jeans and get the same results, but don't feel obligated to rip a pair of jeans you already own, as you can thrift for comfortable, cheap jeans at local secondhand and consignment shops.
Gather your supplies
Depending on what kind of style you want, though, you'll probably want to use a sharp tool appropriate for the job-
1. If you want to create holes, use scissors, a razor, or a sharp knife to rip your jeans. X-acto knives or box cutters will work as well.
2. To create a frayed look, use sandpaper, a cheese grater, steel wool, or a pumice stone.
Pick a spot to rip
Lay your jeans out flat on a table, and use a pencil to mark the places you want to tear. Use a ruler to mark an exact length if you want. Keep in mind the ultimate shape and the length as well as the width of your holes. Generally, most people only rip around the knees of jeans, though you can rip anywhere around the leg of the pants.
