Dream Denim DIY

Hey Guys,

For my first ever post on this blog I thought I would do a simple post on how I customised an old pair of jeans to give them a new lease of life.
As you have most probably seen frayed denim is a huge trend this season, sported in high street shops such as Zara and H&M. As soon as I set my eyes on them I knew I wanted to bag myself a pair but couldn't justify purchasing yet another pair of jeans, so i decided to customise a pair that I already owned.

  I bought this pair in H&M just over a year ago for £19.99, they are a dark blue shade with lighter colouring at the knees. I would say they are mid rise and skinny fit. I love the shape of these jeans and they were such a bargain, but I haven't worn them as much recently as I found the length to be too long and quite awkward to wear with any type of shoe that isn't a boot. So I simply headed to the holy grail of tutorials, Youtube, to point me in the right direction.
It's a very easy process, all you have to do is cut your jeans to desired length, perhaps as bit longer to give room for potential shrinking, grab a pair of tweezers and pull at the edge to give that distressed look!

  

I'm really pleased with the finished look, and now know I will get a lot more use out of these dreamy jeans.
