How can you beautifully cut jeans?

When the trend, forgotten by everyone for a while, returns, its new success always overshadows the previous one. The excitement around the torn jeans last flared up in the late nineties - the beginning of zero. He quickly slept, and some did not have time to dare to purchase a strange novelty. A couple of years ago, designers remembered this stylish move, and since then almost every new collection has a place for artificially aged and rugged jeans.

The stores feature a large selection of trend pants. But after all, to turn ordinary denim pants into trendy ones is much more interesting on their own. Especially since it is very simple! We will tell you how to beautifully cut jeans.

In this matter two factors are important - the style and the material of the jeans. The first is determined quite easily.

Choose a model that will sit perfectly on you and emphasize all the advantages of the figure. At the same time, the pants should not be free.

It is also not permissible that they be cramped and literally crack at the seams.

The choice of fabric is more serious. Not every jeans with cuts look equally good and worn. There are fabrics that can not be "shred." For example, those that are made on the basis of fleece.

This option will not look aesthetically pleasing, besides, when you first wash the fabric in the area of ​​cuts will spread in all directions.

If your task is to give a second life to old shabby jeans, here, of course, you don’t have to choose. Experiment with what is.

Try making small cuts and see how they look when worn, how they change after washing. And if everything goes well, then you are lucky: instead of a discarded pair of old trousers, you will receive an updated and trendy thing.

The most popular place for cuts and holes in jeans is the knee area. It also looks good rubbing from the knee to mid-thigh. There are also interesting options for the entire length of the leg.

But the most advantageous in this case look neat cuts. As a rule, the front part of the leg is "holed up".

Fans of extreme style will like the version with a cut fragment. It can be done on one of the leg.

Location is chosen individually, depending on your desire. Like a form that can be standard (rectangular, square), and maybe unusual (heart, flower, asterisk).

In order to mark the places of future holes and cuts on jeans, they must be placed on a hanger. When the pants are in limbo, they should be marked with chalk or remnant (on white jeans can be a soft pencil). Draw lines of future cuts with neat, thin strokes.

If you plan to make several cuts, calculate the distance between them so that they are 2-3 centimeters from each other. When tags are made, rate the picture from the side.

To finally make sure that the intended fashion touches will be in place, jeans with these sketches need to be tried on. You can try to chart different options and compare them. After several fittings, you can confidently choose the optimal number and location of holes in jeans.

There are some simple, but very important nuances that will help you make the right cuts on jeans:

1. To make perfect cuts, arm yourself with a stationery knife. He, unlike scissors or a kitchen knife, guarantees the accuracy and ease of the process.
2. Before proceeding to making cuts and holes, place a metal or wooden batten (for example, a wide ruler) under the “operated” side of the leg. This will protect the back of the leg from unwanted damage.
3. Cut only in the horizontal direction. This is important because any denim is loose in the structure of its weaving. If cut at an angle, you risk losing control over the manufactured element of the decor. It may not turn out exactly what you want.

To create stylish holes in the knee area, you will also need the following tools:

• a hard-coated clothes brush;
• nail file (metal), can be a small file;
• a thin sheet of sandpaper;
• pumice stone or small kitchen grater.

All this inventory will help you easily achieve the effect of antiquity. The holes made with it will look stylish and original. When all the tools are prepared, you can get down to business!

1. Place the rail under the place on the jeans where you plan to make the cut.
2. Smoothly, but at the same time strongly pressing, cut the planned place.
3. Pull out several longitudinal threads from the resulting incision, cut from both sides.
4. This is followed by the design of the resulting cuts. Straighten your jeans. Brush the fabric thoroughly along the edges of the cuts to ruffle their vertical threads.
5. The next procedure is the treatment of the edges with a nail file. In this case, you need to straighten all the tips of the threads out. After this stage, cuts, as a rule, still have a very neat appearance. This is normal.
6. Finishing touches - make a few decisive strokes with a pumice stone, sandpaper or a fine grater around the edges of the cuts. The resulting fringe will be more subtle and delicate.
7. Try on jeans and evaluate the result of the work done by. If you want to add more cuts, do it. If everything suits, then it's time to throw jeans in a mirror to completely satisfy you, send jeans to a washing machine. There, the slits will get their finished look.

Another hit of the season - jeans with cut-out fragments on their knees.

This may be a slit in the form of a narrow rectangle or a square, baring the knee. Such a hole in jeans looks equally stylish, whether it is neatly cut or disheveled before the fringe.

Another stylish option is to sew on the inside of such a cut lace fabric.

1. Pay attention: while wearing, the holes made in jeans will gradually increase. Make them initially smaller than you would like.
2. If you are looking for practicality from such a thing - make cuts either above the knee or below. So the thing will keep its neat look longer.
3. We decided to do several "scars" on one leg? Try alternating short and long slits - it looks very original.
4. Do you want to visually lengthen your legs? Make several miniature slits, just above and just below the knee.
5. Avoid large cuts in the hips - they will fill you.
