What you’ll need:
· Scissors
· Tweezers
· Razor
· Marker
Follow the steps below to make your own new pair of jean shorts:
1. Mark your jeans. Try them on and make a small mark an extra inch longer then you want them. That way, you will be able to fray the bottom for a destroyed look.
2. Start cutting your jeans. Cut them in an oval shape, the back longer than the front. This will be the most flattering cut on everyone. Cut from the outside in on each side.
3. Fray your shorts. With the tweezers, start pulling the white threads to the outside of the jeans. Continue this as much as you want, depending on your liking.
4. Razor. Razor the back pocket, the front, anywhere your heart desires.
Now you have the best cutoffs for under than $10. Enjoy!
