DIY Ripped Knee Jeans

Lately, I’ve been seeing these ripped knee pants a lot! And even tried some on (as if I did not have enough jeans!) but (gladly!) none of them looked good… mostly because I’m short, so the broken section was closer to my ankles than to my knees!. That’s when I realized that I should make a DIY! And not only one, I will actually make one per week…where I will show you how to adapt your jeans to the new trends :)

First, you need to find a pair of jeans that will look good with a broken knee. I picked a pair of skinny jeans from Forever 21. Once you know which one you want to destroy, try them on…and mark with a little piece of soap where you want to cut them. You should make the mark in both knees and double check that they are at the same height. Also, make sure that the line is in the middle of your knee.

The next step is the scariest one! To be careful, place a magazine inside the leg, and make sure it ives you the shape of half the leg. Pick a magazine you do not like, cause it might get damaged with the knife (Extra points if it belongs to someone else). Don’t be scared… and cut fast! If you want to, you can twist the ends so it breaks a little bit more, but that’s something that will happen alone with the wearing and washing :)

    nice post! i love ripped jeans. i watched a documentary long ago that companies actually take great interest in ripping and distressing jeans. they even take construction workers jeans and try to replicate every nook and cranny on the jeans to make it look like it naturally ripped and faded over time :)

      Hi angel!! Thanks! That’s totally true… I took a class on denim back in college…and we learned all the process of the denim and how they make them look destroyed and old! So much work… ! Sadly, as Im pretty short, all that work doesnt matter to me unless they make length sizes…cause the knee marks end anywhere else but my knees! :)
      xoxo!
