2008MrsKim actually you can buy a ripped Jean for 30$
30$ DOLLARS IS EXPENSIVE U CAN GET THEM FOR 3$ AT THE THRIFT STORE
This has the best tutorial that actually look like QUALITY distressed jeans. These look like what you would buy in stores!
Aww thanks Emma ❤️ that means a lot I'm so glad u liked it !
Emma Jones yeah and save some money 💰 because they are expensive!
You so beautiful I really liked this video and it was helpful
Emma Jones right? The way she does them they look bought n not made ❤️she is very creative
Emma Jones cause they were
I should of watched this before "just going for it" 🤦🏽♀️🙄
x.Evelyn.x Harry yesssss
Ouaf
x.Evelyn.x me
Same here
same omfg
I’m so mad. So it took me 2 hours to make these and as I was putting my foot through my jeans, my leg went down to fast and my foot broke all the strings 😂
omg
Backup sr for your loss
fr
Ive done the same thing don’t you worry
Thats depression
too much work and too complex, i will give my pants to my cats
hahah im sure that will work too :D
mustis M agreed.
Nice
Mustis M lol true too much going on. I'd probably screw them up. Can't sew and I don't have a sewing machine...
hee hee
Meanwhile, those costs $50 at American Eagle... YES GIRL, this DIY is amazing
hahaha exactly ! and thank you
I actually have American eagle ones and now i see this hehehe regret
yea pretty much but in this era 50 isnt too bad for a decent pair if they last. but most AE jeans dont last too long unless you baby them
Did this work for you??
They cost more then 50 more like 70
The steak knife was the easiest and the best looking for me. Thx!
distressed tutorial starts at 3:40
Leah Meinen thank you
Leah Meinen thx😜
Leah Meinen thank you!!❤️
Leah Meinen thx
Leah Meinen k
she looks like jenna ortega as a 20 year old hahah like if u agree!☺🤗
hahaha i keep getting that! but jenna ortega does look alot like one of my younger cousin :)
She also looks like she could be Jane the virgins sister!
m m oh my god she does!!!
Who’s that
mw7899 the girl from “Stuck in the Middle” on disney channel, google her
Mom: what are you doing to those jeans?!
Me: Goin' Edward scissor hands on em'
Mom: what have I raised
Jozie Loewen literally same tho😂😂
mood
AHAH!
i think you need coarser grit sandpaper! the sandpaper you were using looked really fine, and that won't work as well i don't think. but i may be wrong!!!
Honestly I consider you a true inspiration for young women (and men) everywhere. Most people don’t know how to take in their own clothes or distress so this could save A LOT of money, especially if you’re use to going to AE, PAC Sun, Urban, or any of those stores to get you’re “ripped jeans”. I personally love thrifting and never thought about taking in jeans that I find so thank you for this inspo!!! And I also want to say that this is the best distressed jeans tutorial I’ve ever seen! Thank you!
aww that is so sweet! growing up my family didnt have all the extra money to splurge on clothes ..so ive always learn to rework what i already own or thrifted clothes. You save money AND you get something unique to yourself :) win win! keep doing your thangg rachel!
I'm just too stupid for this
agirlwhatelse e awww no you are not ! ♥️
Honestly same lol
Literally me to, I'm trying so hard 😑
Pff same
Lol I’m saying!!!!
You should totally sell those! You'll make quick cash
Thank you for showing us multiple methods and ones I haven’t seen before ( disstressed tutorial starts @ 3:40 for anyone wondering )
of course! glad i can help :)
By far the best DIY on distressing jeans.
awww thank you so much :DDD
yduwjhf
she : this jeans fit me perfectly
Also she : does a lot of work to make them actually fit
Vitalii Bordian it's ”her:” not she.
She was making them fit better
I tried it! It looked really good but it took me lot of time 😩
Julie .__. How long
Basically Jazmine it takes about maybe an hour depending how many holes you want
Jezzy Shattuck what method did you use
does anyone know if this would work on black jeans?
If it's denim it should work the same way ! Only thing is it might be a little harder to see the lines while you are doing it because it's black against black
i’m doing that right now and while it’s possible it’s a bit difficult because of black on black strings
I have two pairs of black jeans and it turns out that were made out of big percent of spandex. The spandex made the lines across the jeans easy to break which was a pain but after washing and roughing them up a lil it looked better. I shouldve paid attention to the video 😭
I also just went to the thrift store and bought some old jeans. I'm trying to embrace my grundy side with ripped jeans!
the knife method is how it is done in factories in china and korea. it is the messiest so a plastic bag on the floor or a couple of those wasteful ones from the grocery store can be cut and taped to prevent the lint. i have a dust buster or do it over a floor so it can be wet mopped after.
If you paint 50/50 water to bleach ahead of time it weakens the threads. also, letting your denim sit in vinegar or amonia and water overnight, it softens the denim.
oooh those are both great tips! thank you :)
Me grabs knife
Mom: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT KNIFE
me: im cutting my jeans
mom: N.O
eek ! be careful!
I absolutely love your tip to pull away the white thread! This literally made making my jeans distressed sooo easy!! Thank you for taking time for so this video 💙🙏🏻
awww i am glad i can help!!
This is great!! I have done distressed shorts before and I could never get the blue bits to twese out. The sandpaper is just for lightening!! It's great for pockets and the thick hem areas just to make it look worn you can also use it on the chopped patches to get a fuzzier look.
yeaaa the tweezing is a little hard you have to get the first blue strand out to loosen it up. and thank for the tip!! :)
OHMYGOSH! Your method of the scissors and tweezers is so much easier than I've been doing!
awww glad i can help!
@@sewtell This just made my plain black calvin jeans SOOOOOOOOOOO much cuter!!
THEY LOOK BOMB OMG
They looked great on you! So you first made some boy's jeans into girl's jeans and then distressed them. I bet you were very welcome in the boys' section' of the shop!! :-) It was the best tutorial I have seen online for this because it is actually practical and useful and tries several methods.
ahhh ! thank you so much i am really glad you liked it .. there are really so many ways and i wanted to test them out for myself :)
sew&tell
I really like that she also showed methods that didn't work, this video was super helpful c:
Nice!!! i snagged my $200 Armani jeans and thought they were ruined, now they look better than before. And a plus is your absolutely beautiful also so a double plus+++.!!! Thanks Ma!!
aww distressing them was probably perfect! and thank u!!
LOVE ITTTT!!! SO HELPFUL
GREAT job! I love that this isn't filled with fluff or SO much setup like some videos. You're a wonderful teacher! Thanks. Trying this tomorrow!
smart girl when you buy it is too expensive lovely thanks 4 sharing your talent
yeaaa i cant afford the premade ones so gotta do them myself :D
This tutorial is the best of all I seen, it has everything that shows how to make really cool distressed jeans!
awww thank you so much im glad you like it :) i really wanted to test out all the methods haha
Great tutorial!!! I do a really stiff nail file and also like a small grater. Works great for me. First the blue fuzz and then the strings. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Wow! I honestly don't typically leave comments but I am so impressed at how much I actually learned from this video that serious didn't know before hand. I know the video is a clothing hack tutorial and u would think that it's just distressing jeans (and altering) so how much information could possibly need for such a topic...but u would be surprised. I've watched quite a few videos on the same topic and they all tell u the same things over and over but I've never seen the same as these and the techniques in this video are SOOOO much better and simpler. You are so good at describing the process without dragging on and on about things that don't need to be said. So basically my point is...great job. You definitely should be very proud of yourself...because little things (like clothing tutorials on UA-cam) lead to BIG things ( career in t.v/fashion, or where ever you dreams lead u) good luck. Thanks for sharing.
OMG I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL THIS REALLY HELPED A LOT!! I HAVE NO I DEA HOW YOU DONT HAVE 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
can't wait to try this! you made it look super easy!
Jianna Jay same
i used a boby pin and it worked out great. works just the same, just keep on going from left to right and you can get the same look!!!!
ooo i havent had a chance to try the bobby pin, good to know it works :)
i have 2 pairs of jeans that i thought would be a lot different from each other, but ended up looking exactly the same. super excited to shred the crap out of one to give them some variety, thank you so much!!!
watched this video a few days ago and just finished my first pair, it honestly works so well and it looks soooo amazing, i've never had distressed jeans before bc they're expensive so i'm happy i found this video (even if it is 3 years old)
This is amazing just found this vid bc my mom bought me black bootcut jeans instead of black skinny jeans that are distressed lol thanks!
awww perfect !! :)
I never diy my clothes because I’m afraid of messing them up, but I decided to try this one and it worked so well! I highly recommend 😋
thank you so much! I love that you tried different methods and actually showed methods that didn't work for you. it helped a lot
the razors work really well for the edges (the edges of pockets, the top of the jeans, the seams, ect.) and the sandpaper works well for the thinner parts of the jeans (to make scratches, and if you scrape it long enough, holes)
I just tried this after looking at your video, and I actually might start doing my jeans myself 💯😘🤗😚
yesss you should :)
I tried this out and my jeans turned into shorts 😂😂
Ema Lee LMAO
LMFAOOOOO
Haha
LMFAO BYE
Oop
I am so thankful for my grandma 💗 (She helped me with this; also learned some knew technique's that I never knew) Never loved a pair of jeans so hard!
omg how sweet! id love to see and re share
So I've watched five videos so far on distressing jeans, this was the best one, good job.
Yay! Thank you!
Imagine walking into school and someone says “I like your jeans where did you get them” and you say “I made them 🙈🤑”
Right 😌💅
Omg I’d be so happy
Or say "Bloomingdales".
I'm using the same pants I picked up from a thrift shop for $7 😎👌
she is so sweet throughout the entire tutorial thank you sm they look amazinggg!!
aww thank you for watching :) hope it helps !!
loved your technique! Food for thought/minor tip...when using a razor or sandpaper put something sturdy and solid underneath the fabric and only razor/sandpaper in the SAME spot with decent pressure.
Who's here during quarantine and there's nothing to do so you look back at her videos just me okay.
awww glad your keeping busy! stay safe
Waoh!! that's so amazing, i tried with one of my jeans and it look amazing, thanks for sharing 😘😘
I’ve known how to sew since I was eight ( I’m 13) but for some reason I’ve never gone into clothes fixing and making and my mom is who taught me but she is isn’t the best at clothes either just baby blankets and fixing clothes for me. Your channel helps me out a lot!
Wow you made it look so easy to adjust those jeans! You are very skilled and they look great! Thanks
The distressing starts at 3:50. You’ll thank me later🍍🥰🥶
hahah thank you :)

3:40 for when she actually starts distressing them. Your welcome💓

I’ve broken nearly 5 needles on jeans I swear lol. The struggle is real
Try a sewing machine
THANK YOU!!! I customize my clothes that i buy from the store and i've always wanted to know how to distress jeans and i could never find a good tutorial that would show the product on the actual person. Not to mention this was super easy to follow and it looks god damn amazing!!!!!! Thank you so much!! ❤

Ryan McKillip same here

:') you are tooo sweet and goodluck! you can do it :DD
why did I not think of this, I have been looking for the perfect boyfriend jean. and now I can look a the man section. That bbe
glad i can help :)
Very impressed w the way these came out!
I love how the steak knife method looks! I accidentally ripped thr knee of my favorite jeans so now I can just distress them!
Yeah the other one took way too long lmao
The sand paper works, u have to have the jeans on a hard surface so u can apply pressure, u need a certain and good type of sand paper, put the hard surface or u can use a block of wood , put the block of wood inside the pants to. u have to apply pressure to the pants, trust me it works
Lillian Tharp oooo that would have made a lot more sense 🙈 thank you !!
Lillian Tharp You know what grit to use. I always get that stuff mixed up.
rock ..... Just an fyi.. The smaller the grit number, the bigger the sand. So like a 60 grit is coarser and alot rougher than say a finer grit of like 300. A standard nail file is typically in the 600 to 800+ range, I'd say. Idk, You'd want something that's pretty chunky to do this type of job, likely anything that's a 100 grit or less. Hope this comment helps. 🤗
Yo go girl!! 👏👏👏Those jeans came out amazing.
Devine Faith thank you so much ♥️♥️
the tweezer method worked soooo well
PEOPLE NEED TO WATCH THIS I'm so surprised that u don't have a lot of Views I'm sharing this. it was so helpful and I already did it to one pair already I'm saving so much money THANK U SO MUCH

You are amazing! Thank you for uploading this video, I try it and it's really helpfull and my jean looks like it cost 300$😍😍
I LOVE YOU
Maria lim 😭♥️♥️ in so glad I could help !! And you got this 🙌🏻
Maybe with the sand paper you should cut it first then try to sand it down
yeaa i also think i was suppose to use a block or something hard behind the sandpaper
You've changed my lifestyle 😃 thank you
definitely going to try the knife version!! this was really helpful!
My legs would look like a Christmas ham in those jeans!!! I think i'll just do a couple places....not the entire leg.
Great tutorial!!!!!
You Go Gurl...!! And Thank you for the experiments as well. I'm about to do my thang too. With ur tips in mind of course... The knife thing..?? THANK YOU....!! THANK YOU....!! I'm On It..!!👌🏾😊 .
***ps*** ...."YOU DID THAT...🦋

Thanks for showing so many different techniques!
New Subscriber !! I Tryed It On My Jeans Worked Well !! Thankkks 😘 .

awww u are too sweet :)
This is incredible, wow. Wish me luck. This will be my holiday project!!!
Thank you so much for making this video!!
of course!! thanks for watching :)
Love this video.. very detailed.
thank you !! i wanted it to be as helpful as possible
i use the sand paper method a lot the best way to do it is find the grainiest sand paper and lightly sand the jeans for a while
it does take a while tho but the look comes out alot more naturally
I just made mine and they look amazing
Do you have to wash them when you're done!?
You don't have to, but it will help clear off all of the loose threads and fluff the strings up. If you are happy with how it looks, you don't have to worry about washing them :)
I love how they look, you're so helpful
👍🏽 Turned out great!
thank you so much :)
I will try this technique and post my results. You did an amazing job..
would love to see it :)
Love your tip on using a steak knife as this worked wonders for my jeans and was the easier option for me. Now I absolutely love my jeans! Thanks!!
aww yay glad i can help! .. i dont think im gonna go back to the tweezer method haha the knife was so much faster!
