Hey it's Kay j! Thanks for dropping by. This video is a step-by-step tutorial on how to distress denim jeans! A really cheap, effective and sustainable way to upgrade your wardrobe in 5 easy steps! Before you start distressing:
[] Put the jeans on to mark out the placement of your knees, to serve as a guide for the areas of distressing.
[] If the jeans are too long, trim the bottom part
[] IMPORTANT: Visualize the design you want, find inspiration on the internet. There are a ton! You don't need to copy them exactly. You can take pieces here and there, and combine them to create your own style!
Distressing [Main steps] :
Step 1| Draw horizontal lines across all the areas you want the distressed parts to be.
Step 2| Cut on the lines drawn
Step 3 (optional)| Take your razor and rub on the denim to help loosen up the threads you need to pull out. You can also use the cutter for this step.
Step 4| Use the tweezers to pull out the vertical threads. No tweezers? Use your fingers!
Step 5| Use the cutter and cut short strokes along the edges of each hole you are creating. Doing this on the raw edges improves the look of the distressing.
When you're done:
[] You can either fold the bottom part of the jeans to hide the raw edge or distress them by repeating step 5.
[] You can wear them directly, but i would suggest putting them in the wash first to finish off the distressed look and feel.
