How to make jeans with holes, scuffs, patches: a new life of old things

Surely in the corner of your wardrobe one or two pairs of jeans were lying around, which you for one reason or another decided not to wear anymore. The style of some panties has long gone out of fashion, others are covered here and there with dirty spots that do not wash out, and others have torn in the most prominent and unsightly place. Do you want to throw out a thing that you do not wear or, worse, wait for the summer to use it exclusively for summer work? Wait, after all your crazy hands can make jeans with holes the most stylish thing in your wardrobe. Just breathe new life into them, using the following tips.

Despite the fact that the holes on the denim fabric do not too difficult, we recommend that you first make the holes small, and only then expand them as necessary ( you will always be able to tear your jeans ). Huge holes are not always appropriate and look not so beautiful.

Jeans with holes: choose tools

In order to decorate your old or simply inconspicuous denim pants with holes, you may need:

• pumice;
• sandpaper;
• Scissors (this tool is only for the masters of the "leaky" case, since scissors can be easily overdone);
• Knife (before its use, put something hard in the leg to avoid "unplanned" holes on the other side of the leg and on the floor);
• A nail file with the coarsest cover (it should be "scratched" by jeans);
• Razor blade (for applying artistic cuts);
• Metal brush (used to ensure that the hole on the jeans has acquired a "disheveled" look).

Remember the general rule and observe it no matter what "execution" tool you chose. Holes should only be made in wet jeans. You can still rub your legs with soap. After the holes in the necessary quantity and in the right places you are made, subject the jeans to washing - this will give your room a "factory" look.

With the help of the above tools, you can also give your jeans an effect of abrasion, for example, if you think that jeans with holes are too radical for you. Only when using nazhdachki, metal brush or pumice, remember that from rubbing to hole - one step. Jeans should also be wet and put on a hard surface.

If the holes on the jeans are not among your preferences, and your favorite pants are very unsuccessfully torn, you can make a creative patch that can be worn with the pride of the most important fashionista. To make a patch, you will need a piece of cloth or a flap of any color, shape, texture, pattern. You can make a patch in the form of a figure (star, triangle, heart), suede, denim or leather, under the color of jeans or vice versa. Sew a flap as if attaching it to the front side, and laying it on the wrong side. Threads also choose themselves - either those that are combined in color with the color of a piece of cloth, or those that will deliberately stand out against a patch.

Well, if the reason that you stopped wearing your favorite jeans is an annoying stain, which turned out to be beyond the power of any advertised washing powder, then you can proceed as follows. Just artificially contaminate the jeans, and then, the very first spot, no one ever sees. So, pour in a bucket of 4 liters of hot water and pour 100 g of tea. Brew this "drink". Jeans (completely or part of them) put in a bucket and leave it for 2-3 days. After the set time of the pantyhose is removed and dried. Refill the bucket with water and add acetic essence. Jeans keep in such a solution for another day, so that the color is fixed.

We all relate to fashion in a completely different way. Some follow it unquestioningly, others - as it happens, others - do not follow at all, in this season the models are dressed on the podium. However, each person wants to look stylish, original and unique. And jeans with holes, patches, scuffs or "dirty" that you just learned to do, is a great choice.
