Shredding jeans

devineamydevine

Anybody know the best way to make big shreds like these in your jeans? I wanna try and achieve a similar look (not all the way down like these but across the knees up) but don't want to make a total mess of the jeans I hve doing it.

Tnx

im probably miles off but maybe a cheese grater may work?
me and my fiend did a pair of mine years ago with a steak knife.

:eek:

you could just wear nothing, it's the same thing...

I'd say just go at it with a stanley knife,or a chainsaw...

i have ripped new jeans by using sandpaper. gives the look of rips which have gradually appeared from friction of wear and tear. i've found cutting and then freying the edges doesn't work as well.
you have to have patience though, even with the coarsest sandpaper can take a while to get through!

Sand paper - and lots and lots of patience!! Don't be too keen to get the holes too big too soon. Always work across the jeans too and not up and down - that way you get the white strands exposed and then just pick away at the blue bits. I think jeans today seem to have much finer threads now that they did when I wore ripped jeans so its harder now to get this effect
