DIY: distressed jeans

Hi Guys!
I know you must have seen this review over and over again but distressed jeans are still trendy so if you haven't this post is going to help you.
Personally, I've seen a few different ways to get the look; the first being the scissors method. For those that don't know what I'm referring to, it's the method where you have the places you want to cut with a tailors chalk. After doing that, you go ahead and cut the places you mark.
PS: you always have to wear your jeans and marketing the parts you want to cut so you know the exact places you want to cut and to avoid mistakes.
Then you use a pair of tweezers to pull on the white and blue threads until you get your desired look. Personally I don't like this method.

I went ahead and did some research and I found the best method for me.

WHAT YOU NEED

1. A pair of old jeans 
2. Sandpaper
3. X-actor knife 
4. Seam reaper/ a pair of tweezers
5. Tailors chalk

You have to wear the jeans and marketing the places you want to sand with your chalk.
Then lay the jeans down on a flat surface and start to sand the marked areas. When  you are done
sanding, use the xacto knife to cut across the surfaces of the sanded area.
You'll most likely need a cardboard to put in between the jeans to avoid cutting across all the 
way to the back...It's a necessary precaution.
Now you will use the seam reaper to pull on the white and blue threads to give it a finished and totally fabulous Look!


The scissors method is also good, you can try it if you can't get your hands on sandpaper and you'll totally love your result.

XOXO
