How to make trendy holes and scuffs on jeans

Many people have favorite things that sooner or later wear out, and therefore they have to be thrown away. However, the situation is completely 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 in Russia and Europe, and it is worth noting that there are no restrictions on wearing such a piece of clothing - with the right combination of things, they look stylish at any age.

And there is no difference - whether such jeans were bought in a store, or holes were made with their own hands at home. The main thing is that the thing looks aesthetically pleasing and fashionable.

There are no restrictions in terms of which jeans can or cannot have holes and scuffs. However, it is still worth considering that jeans come in different densities, they differ from each other also in the composition of the fabric.

Therefore, before starting the creative process of making a fashionable wardrobe item, you should take into account 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 take into account that with a tight fit to the body and a sufficiently strong tension, the hole made can deform and grow to unacceptable sizes, due to which the whole thing can deteriorate.

The effort required to make holes, for example, for thin or thick jeans, will also be different.

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

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

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

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

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

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

4. Transverse (colored) threads just need to be carefully pulled out.

There is a slightly different way of making holes in jeans. It is somewhat similar to the first one described above, only the difference is that some stripes of longitudinal white threads are torn and stretched, creating a certain sloppiness, negligence in the image.

So that the edges of the hole do not deform, especially during washing, they can be processed 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, with interlining.

People who have experience in this matter recommend making a pattern that will make it easier to transfer the shape of the future hole to jeans and cut it correctly. This advice is especially 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 stone, sandpaper, papers, graters, etc.

However, experience shows that making a hole with abrasive products is a rather difficult and lengthy task. But if the idea came to "age" the jeans, giving them a worn look, then these funds will be just what you need.

As in the case of holes, when planning the location of scuffs, you need to decide on their shape and how strong they need to be.

If you make abrasions with a metal grater or sandpaper, they will stand out strongly.

If you use a pumice stone, then the wear will not be so strong. Hooks will help create the effect of a factory marriage.

It is extremely simple to make abrasion with abrasive products - they need to be rubbed on a damp cloth until the desired effect is achieved.

If you need to create a slight rubbing, then you can do the following: put the jeans in the bath and lather them, take a hard household brush and rub the jeans fabric to the desired effect. But it is worth mentioning right away that it will take a long time to rub 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 an ordinary "Whiteness". However, certain precautions must be observed when using it. In addition, chlorine should be used sparingly for the effect of aging, otherwise the jeans can be ruined.

But do not forget that the frayed places of the fabric will wear out faster and stronger in the future, so a measure is needed in everything. Another point to consider is that it is strongly not recommended to touch the seams, especially those connecting the parts of the jeans, since an unplanned hole may appear there, which can significantly shorten their “life”.

Before making holes in 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. Typically, holes in jeans are located on pockets, knees, on the sides of the thigh, etc.

It is also necessary to take into account that the holes should favorably emphasize the dignity of the figure of the owner of torn jeans. For example, oblong holes can illusory lengthen the legs.Therefore, they are not recommended to be done in those places that you should not pay attention to (for example, on large hips).

Knee-hole jeans are becoming more and more popular every day. With such jeans, various wardrobe items are favorably combined - you can, for example, wear a sweater, sweatshirt, tunic, coat or even a jacket with them. Also, wedge sneakers, sandals and sandals, ankle boots or insulated boots, depending on the time of year, go well with them.

To make such holes, you need to place them a little above 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 in a rectangular or round shape.

After the fabric has been cut, the edges of the hole should be rubbed 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 you made, roll them up with your fingers, secure with pins, and let them dry.

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