How to make fashionable holes and scuffs on jeans

Many people have favorite things that wear out sooner or later, and therefore they have to be thrown away. However, the situation is quite different - the more shabby they look, the higher their moral and actual value.

Jeans with holes have become popular clothing among the most famous people of Russia and Europe, and it is worth noting the absence of any restrictions in wearing such a piece of clothing - with the right combination of things, they look stylish at any age.

And there is no difference whether these jeans were bought in the store, or the holes are made with your own hands at home. The main thing is that the thing looks aesthetically and fashionably.

There are no restrictions in terms of which jeans you can or can not make holes and abrasions. However, it should be borne in mind that jeans are of different density, they differ from each other also in the composition of the fabric.

Therefore, before starting the creative process of making a fashionable piece of clothing, you should consider all the features of the fabric, and how you should think about what specific result should be achieved. For example, if you have to work on stretch jeans, then you need to consider that with a tight fit to the body and a sufficiently strong tension, the hole made can become deformed and increase to impermissible sizes, due to which the whole thing can deteriorate.

Efforts for making holes, for example, for thin or tight jeans, will also be different.

So, before starting to work on making fashionable holes, you need to put them on yourself and see exactly where they should be located, taking into account the peculiarities of your figure and the density of the jeans themselves, and also choose their shape.

If there is no skill in such a business, it is recommended to mark the locations of the holes with chalk or felt-tip pen.

The classic version of making holes in jeans contains the following algorithm of actions:

1. Under the place where the hole will be made, you need to put something solid, ideal - a small board.

2. At a marked distance from each other with a very sharp knife or scalpel, two parallel cuts must be made. They should be done carefully so as not to spoil the longitudinal white threads. It is worth paying attention that in jeans they are always located horizontally.

3. Next you need something sharp (for example, a needle or thin tweezers), pull out the white thread.

4. Cross (colored) threads just need to carefully pull out.

There is a slightly different way of making holes in jeans. It is to some extent similar to the first one described above, the only difference is that some bands of longitudinal white threads break and stretch, creating a certain slovenliness, negligence in the image.

To prevent the edges of the hole from deforming, especially during washing, they can be treated with decorative seams along the edge, which will make it even more noticeable and stylish. Or the edge can be glued from the wrong side, for example, flizelinom.

People who have experience in such a business recommend making a template, which makes it easier to transfer the shape of a future hole to jeans and cut it correctly. Especially this advice is useful if the plans are to make a hole of complex shape.

On the Internet you can find a lot of tips on how to make holes with pumice, emery, paper, trowel, etc.

However, experience shows that making a hole with abrasives is a rather difficult and long task. But if the idea came to "wear out" jeans, giving them a shabby look, then these funds will be just what you need.

As in the case of holes, planning the location of abrasions, it is necessary to determine their shape and how strong they should be.

If you make a scuff with a metal scraper or sandpaper, they will stand out greatly.

If you use pumice stone, the abrasion will not be as strong. Hooks will help create the effect of factory marriage.

Making abrasives with abrasive tools is extremely simple - they need to be rubbed over a damp cloth until the desired effect is achieved.

If it is necessary to create a slight abrasion, you can do the following: put the jeans in the bath and lather them, take a hard economic brush and rub the jeans fabric to the desired effect. But you should immediately make a reservation that you will have to rub long and hard. But the result will be really amazing.

An additional worn effect can also be achieved chemically using chlorine, for which it will be enough to buy ordinary “Whiteness”. However, when using it, it is necessary to observe known precautions. In addition, chlorine should be used moderately for the aging effect, otherwise jeans can be spoiled.

But do not forget that the worn places of the fabric will continue to wear faster and stronger, so everything needs a measure. Another point to consider is that it is not recommended to touch the seams, especially the connecting parts of jeans, since there may appear an unplanned hole that can significantly reduce their “life”.

Before you make holes on jeans, you should immediately pay attention to the fact that they should not embarrass the people around them, so their location should be carefully considered. Usually, holes in jeans are located on pockets, knees, on the lateral parts of the thigh, etc.

It is also necessary to take into account that the holes should advantageously emphasize the dignity of the figure of the owner of torn jeans. For example, elongated holes will be able to elongate the legs illusory. Therefore, they are not recommended for those places that are not worth paying attention to (for example, on large hips).

Leaky jeans on their knees are becoming more and more popular every day. Different items of wardrobe are advantageously combined with such jeans - you can, for example, wear a sweater, sweatshirt, tunic, coat or even a jacket. They also perfectly combine wedge sneakers, sandals and sandals, ankle boots or warm boots, depending on the season.

To make such holes, you need to place them slightly above the knee level, as they will increase in the process of walking. If it is planned that the entire knee should be visible, then the hole should be made of a rectangular or round shape.

After the fabric has been cut, the edges of the hole should be wiped with sandpaper (it is preferable to choose the one with fine grain), cutting off very long threads. Or you can wet the edges of the hole, roll them with your fingers, fasten with pins and let them dry.

All these small tips will help even the most inexperienced person in such matters to make beautiful, trendy jeans.
