How To Make Ripped Jeans?

1.Skinny jeans are the best to try for the trend. Wear on the jeans and mark where you want a cut. The cuts are best made on the knee and on the thighs.

2.Then place the jeans on the ground and cut the marked area with scissors.

3.Brush the area with a nylon brush. This will help take off the jeans threads and the more you brush, the more rugged the area looks.

4.For a more rugged look, brush the jeans against stone. This will give it a stone wash finish i.e the colour fades away on the ripped area making it look rugged.

5.You can even try patterns. Slit the jeans in symmetric sections and shapes. You can make a rectangle slit, then a hole, a square etc. This makes your jeans look interesting.
6.Deep colour jeans like black an dark blue are best for this style

Make your own ripped jeans and flaunt the style with a skin fit top and a leather jacket.
