2008MrsKim actually you can buy a ripped Jean for 30$
30$ DOLLARS IS EXPENSIVE U CAN GET THEM FOR 3$ AT THE THRIFT STORE
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
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
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
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
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!
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!!!!
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!
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 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!!!
You should totally sell those! You'll make quick cash
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!
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
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
Me grabs knife
Mom: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT KNIFE
me: im cutting my jeans
mom: N.O
eek ! be careful!
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 😭
THEY LOOK BOMB OMG
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!!
I also just went to the thrift store and bought some old jeans. I'm trying to embrace my grundy side with ripped jeans!
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!!
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 :)
can't wait to try this! you made it look super easy!
Jianna Jay same
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
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!
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!! :)
LOVE ITTTT!!! SO HELPFUL
I really like that she also showed methods that didn't work, this video was super helpful c:
This tutorial was the best you explained and showed at a beginners pace so that was cool. Thank you!!
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. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
BEST ONE BY FARRRRRR. THANKS SO MUCH
AWWWW thank you
I just made mine and they look amazing
Very impressed w the way these came out!
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
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
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!!!

Waoh!! that's so amazing, i tried with one of my jeans and it look amazing, thanks for sharing 😘😘
They turned out SUPER cute!
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!!!
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!!
Very good tutorial! Very straight to the point! Love it
thank you so much :)
Wow you made it look so easy to adjust those jeans! You are very skilled and they look great! Thanks
Very nice finish! Love them!
The distressing starts at 3:50. You’ll thank me later🍍🥰🥶
hahah 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".
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 TH-cam) lead to BIG things ( career in t.v/fashion, or where ever you dreams lead u) good luck. Thanks for sharing.
Those jeans came out super cute! The best tutorial so far 💕
