Get some jeans. They should be comfortable, loose pants, or use a pair that you already have that are cheap.


Prepare to cut them, either while wearing them or with them off. It%26#039;s easier if they are on you, because you can judge measurement easily, but be extra careful to avoid cutting yourself. (Trace out the area you are planning on cutting with a pencil before you cut to avoid making mistakes).


Rub the jeans. Start with sandpaper (get a piece of the roughest cut you can from your dad or your local Walmart/Home Depot) and rub hard across the front of your knees, thighs, and rub the blade of the knife against the lines. For example, if the lines are horizontal, do it vertically (and vice versa).


Make some holes. When you have created a slit, take the pointy end of the knife and rub it against the edges until you see the white strings going in the opposite direction. Keep doing this until you have the desired hole size. Repeat this until you have a good number of holes in the pants.





To cut a knee hole, it%26#039;s best to sand down the knees the most. They will begin to fray and holes will begin to form. Spread apart the holes within the desired location as far as you want the hole to extend with the tip of a knife, then rub the edges with the knife so that they get fuzzy and messy.


Age them a bit. When the jeans are finished, throw them in the water with a little bit of bleach to age them a bit. Then dry them. The washing will also fray the cuts and make them look better. Or you could use a cheese grater, they work amazingly too.


Stand back and admire your work. Voila! You have just created your own unique ripped jeans - take that, name brands!
Reply:Take some sandpaper, and rub the jeans until they thin. Don%26#039;t use scissors, unless you%26#039;re hemming the pant.
Reply:You can rub them with sandpaper.. then maybe add some stitches to make it look finished =] Hope that I helped and goodluck!
Reply:jus take a sharp knife or razor blade and rub the edge up an down over the spot where you want the hole

Reply:lol im wearin a pair i did that to.take a knife or blade and just start scraping not stabbing but scrape and the holes will still have that string on them like pants that you buy
Reply:make small tiny cuts on the inside without cutting thru fabric then use sand paper on the outside to rough up. a little bleach/water solution applied gently and washing after will help them look naturally frayed.
Reply:Use a razor (works best) or sand paper and pull it in the oppisite direction, of the fabric and it will make it fringy. Do not cut though, just rub! Rub it against the edges until you see the white strings going in the opposite direction. You can also take bleach and rub it on the torn edges to give it a certain washed out look, and it can be rubbed in anywhere else too. Some people use pumice which is also rough, and good for things like pockets especially if you put it in the drier, but be sure not to let it become too rough, or too hot. If you dont have either put them on your driveway or anypavement and place the jeans down, and in the area you want torn place your foot on and grind it on the pavement it should rip the material or pull up the edges to make it raggy or worn. Leaving them in the sun is sometimes another alternitive to bleach on a sunny day, but it will take more time. Tearing them up from the inside will work too. Some people use pumice which is also rough. If you have another pair of jeans that don%26#039;t fit or looked better on the sales rack you can cut them up as well and use fabric glue (you can find it at any craft store) and glue on the pieces. Depending how you do it it can look really cute. Using a fabric pattern rather than denim is my personal favorite, especially on the pockets. Really do everything to the jeans you wouldn%26#039;t do with your favorite new jeans, so basically wear them out. Wash them to see the finished product if you want it more worn just repeat the process until your happy with it.


Good Luck
Reply:While holding a straight razor blade (as if in the position to open a box) rub the razor blade gently, North to South for the natural frayed look. DO NOT CUT with the razor blade (it will look terrible). I have tried coarse sandpaper and it takes too long! If you do not have a razor blade, you can use sharp scissors and use the same rubbing technique above. Then wash...you will be all set!
Reply:pumice stone!!!


just buy pumice stone (the same stone people use to file away calluces while doing a pedicure) and %26quot;scratch%26quot; the part you want the holes on... I buy cheap jeans and turn them in to fab jean! there are so many options besides holes though... you can cut part of the jean sides and put it back together by a row of safety pins, or get a cool fabric and glue it inside the jean so the fabric will bee seen throught the holes... or for a %26quot;worn out look%26quot; throw the jeans inside the dryer machine with pieces of pumice stone inside the pockets...the look is soooooo cool.... well its just me and my opinion.
