Got an old pair of jeans just lying around? Why not turn them into a new stylish pair of shorts? It's really simple.
1. First, take out your old jeans, lay them out flat on the table and measure the length you'd like your shorts to be.
2. It's time to cut them. Make sure you cut as straight as possible.
3. Now to rip jeans is to put the jeans on and mark where you want the rips. The placement on the jeans will look different on you than on the ground flat, so marking rips while you wear the jeans before you rip them is important.
4. Taking the razor blade, simply make the incisions where you have created the lines. This will create a simple rip in the jeans.
5. Once you have made your rips, take the jeans and put them in the washer and dryer. This will show you the final product.This will give them that frayed looked and that's what's in style this summer.
6. Now take them out of the dryer and make any necessary adjustments. You may want to do a bit more ripping!
7. That's it! Now you have a brand new pair of very cool shorts. And, now that you've saved all that money ... you'll be able to buy a shirt that goes with them ;)!
