Making Distressed Jeans

RE: Making Distressed Jeans By jojo the clown boy (2) Contact Dremel Sanding Attachment or flat belt sanding. A knife is quick but may just gouge. Posted on 10/24/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By nikki (Guest Post) I put the jeans on. Get a knife. Go up and down really hard and really fast. Wash them. Then add bleach. Then wash again. This works great. I bought a pair of goodwill jeans for $6 and I sold them at a yard sale for $30. I promise this will work :) Posted on 02/27/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By simone (Guest Post) It has be neat to see all the others that needed help I used a foot scrubber, broken razor (it fell in the shower), one of my dad's saw blades and a nail file. I also shoved a block of wood up the leg it helped hold it still and made it way easier.

Just put the box in the jeans and rub the grater on the jeans and rub up and down hard on the jeans. If you want holes, don't be afraid to go crazy!

Posted on 12/03/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By Veen (Guest Post) You can use a box cutter and go against the grain. What I mean by that is there are vertical and horizontal grains in jeans and you have to look close at the jeans to tell....not difficult though. I usually use a pencil and trace the part I want to look distressed and go against the grain with the boxcutter; not too rough, but enough where you can see a little distress. Then I use a cheese grater and went with the grain and there you have it distressed jeans. You can do it a few times to your liking.

(Guest Post) I just made a pair of distressed jeans by following your advice, a pumice stone, nail clippers and a nail file, then I dapped some bleach around the holes with a q-tip and threw them in the washer and WOW just as if I would have bought them at a store! Posted on 08/31/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By Jessa (Guest Post) I distress jeans on a regular basis and have done tons for friends and my favorite technique for holes with the white strings is to use Bic disposable razors and just rub on areas and wipe away the lint and then tada, distressed jeans!

Posted on 02/19/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By Michael Wang (Guest Post) OK SERIOUSLY THIS WORKS. I just distressed my jeans like 2 hours ago. Ok so I used a nail file (I think you could use sandpaper. And you wear the jeans and put the spot where you want the hole on your knee. Then you take the file and file until it gets really thin at the hole area. Then take off the pants and slide something under like a cutting mat. Then take scissors and open them up really wide and take the point and slit sideways until you see white lines. Then when you get a few lines out, you take the file and keep taking off the lint and there's your hole! Posted on 02/14/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By Jen (Guest Post) I think if you use a jagged stake knife and rub from left to right fast, it works, or a pocket knife but that takes a bit longer! Then take a safety pin to pull out the colored part carefully leaving white strings, u gotta be very careful tho, because if you do it wrong it cuts the strings and looks crazy, I'm going to buy a whole bunch of different tools tomorrow to try other things,, but this idea works easily but takes time! Posted on 10/31/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By tryyyyyyyyyy this (Guest Post) I used sandpaper on my A+F jeans. it worked really well. If you rub the sand paper on them it well make it so you don't have holes but still have the strings in the holes. but if you keep rubbing you will make a hole. it works great :) Posted on 10/29/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By tryyyyyyyyyy this (Guest Post) I used sandpaper on my A+F jeans. it worked really well.

Posted on 09/20/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By Carlena (Guest Post) We used to hang our jeans against a fence or tree and shoot a bee bee gun at the jeans to make perfectly round holes, then make the holes bigger by running a spoon through the holes and twisting until we got the perfect size"round" holes! Posted on 09/07/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By cait (Guest Post) okay, so here's the thing i have tried everything... and nothing was looking like how i wanted it to.... so i used a bread knife and went from side to side on my jeans until it started to look warn put not so it was making wholes...... and then i used a pumice stone and went from side to side until i got the look i was going for.... which is like abercrombie and fitch jeans..... you could use sandpaper too probably.

C o M (Guest Post) The best way is to use a very sharp razor and slit 1-2 inch slices VERY close together. Then take your sharp scissors and rub the blade in one direction use hard pressure when the white shows stop, look at what you did and if you need to move up or down go to that spot if you rub to much the threads will tear and tada a big hole. you can also use sand paper or cheese grater for the pockets and legs. Another thing to do is use a hack saw blade for those fraid rips this works really good. do the same for T-shirts and they will look just like affliction style shirts look out fashion world we are coming after you hard!

This is how we did it, very easy. Whatever you want to distress or break in, jeans, shoes. shirts, tie them to 6' of rope. Drive to a dirty gravel road. Tie them to you bumper and drag them. Do this a few times. It worked great. Posted on 09/25/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By caitlin (Guest Post) First use a nail clipper make a little hole then runa knife over it a few times till whtie thread shows then take a toothpick and run bleach around th ehole or on the jeans then wash ... So cool! Posted on 09/21/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By (Guest Post) Well there are all kinds of ways to make holes in jeans, but you should try a cheese grater. It works for me, but I don't know if it will work for you.

Posted on 08/04/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By lenz (Guest Post) ok. Well I have done this many times and most of the time it works very well. You will need: a nail clipper a rough scratchy rock or good sandpaper use the nail clipper to make very small ant sized holes and do it on groupsclose together... about the size of a quarter maybe. take the sand paper/rock and rub it over the little holes until it forms a frayed 'torn' look.

(Guest Post) distressed jean are so in right now you should use a pumice stone ( one of those foot thingys) but here the secret... take a pair of scissors and make LITTLE horizontal cuts i mean like about 1-2 inches across and space them about a half inch apart going down. make about 5-7 of these little cuts and then start rubbing with the stone. do as many of them as you want over your jeans then wash them Posted on 08/29/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By !0 year old (Guest Post) I used a nail file and that makes little holes pumice stones work so much better.

Be careful! Posted on 07/25/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By Trix (Guest Post) I've distressed my jeans by using sandpaper. You want to find something to wear down the fibres rather than tearing them or cutting them. Posted on 07/25/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Distressed Jeans By Marn (Guest Post) I used a nail file to distress my jeans. Just rub it over the area that you want a hole in, and it will wear away the fibers and look quite natural. You can also use a pumice stone. After that, wash a few times and they should look just like store-bought. Posted on 07/25/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
