Stylish jeans from old jeans - 12 best ideas for denim alterations

Every second girl experiments with things from her wardrobe.
Especially if things are already old, unfashionable and require either disposal or urgent upgrading. The second option is certainly preferable. You probably have a stack of jeans lying around in the far corner of your dresser that you hate to throw away.

We'll show you how to make them relevant and fashionable again!

Who suits and how to wear high-waisted jeans?

Ripped or faded jeans

What you will need: your old jeans, a seam ripper (blade or knife), soap and a small metal grater with garlic holes.

We choose a place for the future “scuff” on the jeans.
Carefully rub this area “horizontally” with a grater. We act as carefully as possible if the desired result is abrasion and not a gaping hole. The grater should only remove the top layer of thread.

How to dye black jeans?

Of course, nowadays there are more progressive methods of color restoration - this is the dyeing method. When using this method, we will get a more saturated color that will not fade after the first wash. There are different types of paints:

aniline;
acrylic;
powder

Now let's look at the pros and cons of these dyes, and you can choose the right paint for you.

Aniline dyes

Very easy to use. Here you can use your imagination. Mix several shades and get an original result.

Acrylic paints

They have a more durable coloring element. With their help, you can decorate trousers by applying a pattern. Even after the next wash at high temperatures, your trousers will not fade.

Powder paints

Used in the washing machine. Of course, they are less hassle. I turned on the machine, poured in the substance, having previously dissolved it in water according to the instructions, and no problems. But there is a small minus. This species has a very poor color range.

To dye black jeans, you can use any of the dyes described above.

Dyeing black with powder in the washing machine

Painting your favorite trousers deep black will not cause any worries if you follow the dyeing recommendations:

Make sure your pants are clean and there are no foreign objects in your pockets. They should not have various stains.
Turn inside out.
Set the washing cycle on your machine according to the mark on your label.

Important! Do not use any powders or rinses.

Pour the paint, after diluting it with water according to the instructions, into the powder compartment.
Turn on wash mode.
If your dye does not contain elements to fix the color - read the information on this on the packaging - then you need to use the rinse mode with the addition of vinegar.
Wash jeans with added powder or gel for black items.
Natural drying follows.

Important! Don't worry, the paint won't damage your washing machine. Only a little coloring may remain on the elastic band, but this can be easily removed with a damp cloth. In order not to doubt this at all, after finishing dyeing, you can once again start the washing cycle - even the shortest one, but without detergents and laundry.

For the holey effect:

We lay out the jeans on the table and mark strips with soap (maybe chalk) for future holes.
We make horizontal cuts using a seam ripper or scissors.
We pull out a few threads along the edges of the holes to make the jeans feel “worn” (note - or we wash them in the machine so that the threads stretch out on their own) - we create the shaggy appearance of our chaotic holes.
We make cuts based on our wishes - in several areas or immediately along the entire length of the trouser leg(s).
If desired, you can decorate the resulting holes using one of the following methods (lace, sequins, etc.).

To prevent the created “gaps” from spreading completely and ruining the presentation, you should sew guipure scraps to them from the inside out.

Bags and handbags

You can never have too many bags! Therefore, hurry up to create a couple of new handbags from unwanted jeans for the approaching summer. As always, there are many options, from simple to complex: with embroidery with threads and ribbons, with beaded handles, with various belts and chains, with fabric appliqués and much, much more...

In addition to bags, you can make pouches, backpacks and wallets. And also protect your technical devices from external influences with the help of denim covers.

Bright colored space jeans - dye according to instructions

For this masterpiece you need: dark jeans, a toothbrush, acrylic paint for fabrics in the desired colors, a sponge, a spray bottle, a solution of bleach and water (2:1), a container for mixing paints.

We spread the jeans on top of the film on the floor.
We spray the bleach solution poured into the spray bottle on various areas - not copiously, but a little at a time and carefully. We are waiting for orange spots to appear. To increase their intensity, you can spray one more time.
Next, mix the first portion of acrylic paints and carefully apply it with a sponge around our orange spots. Let's experiment with colors! That is, we rinse the sponge from time to time and take a different color.
We highlight individual areas with white paint.
We paint the stars in our denim “galaxies” using a brush and diluted white paint. Everything is simple here: we dip the tooth/brush in the paint, and then, using our finger, we “spray” (splatter) the paint onto individual areas - we create clusters of stars.
Don't forget about the back of the jeans and the seams - they also need space. Wait until it dries completely (at least 24 hours).

Reasons for loss of rich shade

The main reason for color loss in a product is regular washing. Gradually, water with the addition of powder or gel washes away the paint, making the fabric lighter each time.

In order to preserve the original color for a long time, the housewife must use special conditioners that are designed for black things.

Another common reason for loss of shade is shedding. Probably every housewife has noticed that during washing the water becomes dark in color. In addition to all this, traces of paint may remain on the body or other elements of clothing that the jeans come into contact with.

This should not be considered a marriage. Even if the trousers were of high value, this can happen. The reason for this is the coloring of products with natural paint. During the first washes, it releases coloring pigments.

When buying jeans, do a quality test. To do this, wipe the pant leg with a damp white cloth or cotton pad. If the item is of poor quality, then marks will remain on the white.

Loss of color in jeans can occur with prolonged wear or fading in the sun.

Stylish “varenki” - if jeans have become “boring”

You will need: old jeans, whites, containers (a bucket or a large pan that mom won’t tear her hands away from later).

We choose dark jeans that are in dire need of a “fashion reboot.”
We twist our jeans tightly. Moreover, the more you twist, the fewer streaks there will be. If you want a vertical pattern, then secure the twist sections well with rubber bands. For horizontal twists, you need clamps, and for the “stars” in the twist areas, you need clothespins.
We fill a container with water - exactly half, heat it to 80 degrees (on average) and suddenly pour a full glass of white into it.
Bring our solution to a boil, stirring constantly.
After the “potion” boils, immerse the jeans completely in it. Are they getting out? Push it back with a ladle.
We wait 15 minutes, constantly pushing the jeans under the water. If the color does not want to change at all, add another half glass of the product.
After obtaining the desired shade, we take it out, take it into the bath, remove all the clips/elastic bands and thoroughly rinse the new jeans.

If you are too lazy to cook jeans, your mother doesn’t give you a pan, or you simply don’t have the necessary container, but you have Domestos - use it. We dilute half a glass of the product in 3 liters of water, soak the rolled jeans in the same way and wait for the lightening. Next, rinse and dry.

Methods for restoring a dark shade

What to do if things have lost their rich black color? There are several ways to restore color at home.

Handling faded clothing

How to restore color to jeans? There is one simple but unusual way - washing faded items. If you still have jeans that haven't been washed much and haven't lost color, then wash them with your favorite trousers.

To do this, you should adhere to the following rules:

Take two pairs of jeans, turn them inside out and throw them into the drum of the washing machine.
Set the washing mode to 40 degrees.
After 30-40 minutes, stop washing and leave for two to three hours. This will enhance the paint transfer effect.
After the time has passed, turn it on again and finish the washing cycle to the end.
When the rinse program begins, add vinegar conditioner to the tray.

After this, hang the clothes on the dryer. You should not hang them on the balcony, otherwise under the influence of sunlight the product will again lose its dark shade.

Dyeing jeans with hair dye

Don't know how to restore color to black jeans? There is another simple way - use hair dye. To obtain a positive result, you must strictly follow all the listed rules.

When performing the procedure you will need:

large basin;
one or two packs of black paint;
3% table vinegar;
salt;
a pair of gloves.

The process itself is as follows:

Wear gloves.
Remove the vials with components from the box and mix them as indicated in the instructions.
Dissolve the resulting mixture in warm water and then soak the jeans. Leave for about one hour. To ensure that your pants are dyed evenly, turn them over periodically.
After an hour, rinse the jeans in clean water.
Then soak again, but in cool water with the addition of vinegar and salt.
Wring out well and dry the product.

The trousers will again acquire a rich color. But gradually, after some time, the paint will wash off.

Painting the product using special paint

How to restore the color of black trousers? There is a specialized paint on sale that is perfect for both cotton and thick fabrics.

To complete the procedure, you must adhere to the following rules:

Take a large basin with a volume of up to 10-15 liters.
Purchase special fabric paint at the store. It is sold in powder form. When choosing, focus on proven brands. They cost a little more, but the dark shade will last for a long time.
Put on rubber gloves, and then fill a basin with warm water.
Pour in the powder and mix the liquid thoroughly.
Place the jeans in the resulting mixture and leave them for 30-40 minutes. Turn the product over periodically so that the color is even.
After the time has passed, rinse the product until the water becomes completely clear. Dry.

Using blue

This method is more suitable for dark blue trousers. The advantage of blue is that it is available and has a low cost. But there is also a drawback: it washes off very quickly.

If you decide to use this tool, then follow the instructions:

Pour cool water into a bowl. Its temperature should not exceed 30 degrees.
Add blue to the water and mix thoroughly. Place jeans in the resulting solution and leave them for two to three hours.
To consolidate the result, you can add a little vinegar.
At the end of the procedure, rinse the item and dry it.

Experienced housewives give advice: to make the color lasting, you can add a few tablespoons of table salt to the resulting liquid.

Before performing manipulations, do not forget to wear gloves.

Application of potassium permanganate

Jeans begin to become light gradually with each wash. But to give them new life, you can use potassium permanganate. This technique allows you to get boiled jeans, which are still considered fashionable.

Follow these guidelines:

Take a large enamel pan.
Fill it with water and add potassium permanganate. If you want to get a darker and more saturated color, then add more potassium permanganate. Pull down your jeans.
Hold the product until it is completely colored.
To enhance the effect, add a few tablespoons of salt to the liquid.
Once you have the desired shade, take out the trousers and rinse them in cool water.
Dry on a flat surface and enjoy the result.

When things lose their usual shade, it becomes sad that the original appearance cannot be returned. But there are ways that help update a thing and make it a little brighter than it was before.

What options are there?

Lace sewn as a lining on the hole from the inside out. The denim edges around the lace patch, of course, need to be ruffled. White lace sticking out in the slits of blue jeans looks very piquant.
A lace ribbon sewn around the waist or just the front (only the back).
Back pockets completely decorated with lace.
Flowers cut out of lace (another pattern), sewn onto trouser legs like appliqués.

Just don't overdo it. An abundance of lace or its illiterate use can turn your jeans into a vulgar item.

Making a bag from old pants

The denim version of the bags is more suitable for the spring-summer season. And on long winter evenings it will be a pleasure to sew models of fashion accessories with your own hands and anticipate the delight of your friends and girlfriends.

The lightest option is a bag a la bag:

We cut the jeans into two trouser legs, and they, in turn, are ripped apart along the inner seams.
We cut out two rectangles from the panels.
If you are planning a bag with a lining, then cut out a similar rectangle from an additional piece of fabric.
Sew each rectangle on three sides.
For handles, you can use decorative twine or clothesline. Or cut narrow strips from the remaining scraps of trouser legs and, folding them 4 times, stitch them.
Turn the lining inside out and insert it into the main fabric. At the top we make a fold inward by 2 cm. We insert handles between the panels and pin them with needles.
First, we sweep the fabrics by hand, and then we make a line on a sewing machine.

There are many options for decorating such a bag. You can sew back pockets from jeans onto it. Such parts are useful for storing small items. You can baste a bright applique or scarf to match the main color, glue beads, and apply a design.

The upper part of the trousers is also used for the base of the bag. To do this, a cut is made below the zipper, and to make the item voluminous, the bottom is sewn on. It is cut from one trouser leg.

A denim backpack also looks interesting. Moreover, today it is not a problem to buy accessories: bright grosgrain ribbon, cords, rivets, carabiners.

Decorating jeans with rhinestones and beads

What you will need: rhinestones, beads, beads, your jeans.

We select the desired area on the jeans, look for the desired pattern and transfer it to the jeans with chalk/pencil (pockets, sides of the legs, cuffs).
We select rhinestones of different sizes and glue them according to the pattern manually.

Sequins, beads or beads will have to be sewn on. The work is more painstaking, but the result is worth it.

If you don’t know how to draw, take tattoo designs as a basis (among them there are many interesting sketches of flowers, birds, etc.).

How to prevent the rapid loss of color in trousers and jeans?

How to update or return the original color to jeans if they are faded? First of all, I would like to give some simple tips, following which you can “extend the life” of your favorite black jeans.

Tip 1

Turn the item inside out before washing.

Tip 2

Look at the trouser tag - it indicates at what temperature to wash this product.

Important! To understand more about these types of products, learn about what jeans are made from.

Tip 3

When washing black trousers, use special products for black items.

Tip 4

Do not soak items for several hours.

Important! If the first time you wash or wear it turns out that your jeans are dyed, read all the tips on how to fix dye on fabric at home.

All these simple rules will allow you not to be puzzled by the problem for as long as possible: “black jeans have lost their color - what to do?” But sooner or later it will still arise. And here our useful tips will definitely come in handy.

And the jeans have cuffs!

Today, wide cuffs on jeans are considered the most fashionable. Although no one will stop you from making them according to your personal size and desire - you are a designer.

Having chosen the desired width, stitch the jeans or simply roll them straight out, baste along the seams and start decorating the resulting cuffs:

Decorate with rhinestones or beads.
Sew on the lace.
We use bright strips of fabric.
Making fringe.

Chic, shine, beauty

Jeans decorated with buttons, rhinestones, jewelry, ribbons and similar things that can be found in craft stores look original. Places where jewelry is located are the area near the pockets, the ends of the legs. Decorations are sewn on or glued with hot glue.

Stamps are not always bad

If a bear stepped not only on your ear, but also on your hands, and you only know how to draw with chalk on the asphalt, it’s not a problem. Stamps and stencils will come to the rescue

We take an ordinary children's rubber stamp for creativity with the desired pattern, dip it in fabric paint of the desired color and stamp it for health in the way your soul requires.
If there are no children's stamps, you can make it yourself from a potato, an eraser, etc.
You can also stamp with a sponge. Just use thicker paint and first test stamping on an unnecessary piece of paper so that the excess paint comes off the sponge - the design should turn out to be a fine snowball, not blots.

For the dacha

The long-awaited summer is coming soon. Let's see what to make from old jeans for the dacha. With a little effort, your jeans turn into a great hammock!

Did you want to be alone? Sew a quick denim screen and create your own corner in the garden. Pockets are useful for a book or magazine.

For a picnic, sew a denim rug or a wonderful tablecloth with pockets for napkins and cutlery.

For gardening, denim aprons with plenty of pockets for tools or bags of seeds are useful.

To avoid losing your husband’s, dad’s or grandfather’s tools, sew similar cases for them from their own jeans)

Old country stools can be easily updated with denim covers.

Option 3:

We cut out the desired pattern from the lace and soak it in bleach until slightly damp (so that the lace does not crumble).
Place the lace on the trouser leg and press tightly for 10-30 minutes. Accordingly, the longer, the brighter the picture.
Next, remove the lace and briefly dip the jeans in a solution of water and vinegar (approx. 3:1). Afterwards, wash separately in a machine or by hand.

Tips for preserving color

To ensure that your favorite jeans do not lose their original appearance, you need to follow several recommendations:

Wash your jeans inside out.
Carefully study the manufacturer's label. It indicates the temperature at which the product should be washed and ironed.
Always add only liquid washing gel to the machine. To preserve color, use conditioner on black clothes.
Do not soak your pants in water for a long time.
Wash the product at a temperature no higher than 40 degrees.
As a preventive measure against color loss during hand washing, add a little vinegar to the water.

If the jeans still become lighter, and these tips did not help, then you can try dyeing the product.

Jeans turn... into elegant capri pants

Everything is simple here. If you are tired of flares, or the bottoms of your trouser legs have become completely unusable, then it’s time to cut your jeans into capri pants (or shorts).

Select the desired length with a margin for cuffs.
Cut along the strips marked with soap.
We bend the legs outwards and decorate them using one of the above methods (fabric, lace, beads, etc.).

With a jagged raw edge

You can cut jeans in a fashionable way using the trend with an asymmetrical raw edge. A distinctive feature of the method is that the length of the front part of the trouser leg is shorter than the back part. For transformation, both straight and skinny jeans are used.

Work order:

The bottom factory edge is cut off.
The product is tried on and the length of the front and back of the legs is determined. Jeans that reveal the ankle look great.
Markings are applied with a pencil on both legs.
Using sharp scissors, cut off the edges of the front and back panels of the jeans.

Types of processing of the front part of the trouser leg:

straight horizontal cut;
cut at an angle of 45°;
triangular cutout in the middle of the front;
torn front cut;
wavy front cut;

The back part is often cut horizontally. Both parts of the legs are not processed, leaving a slightly fringed edge.

When shortening jeans in this way, you don’t have to be afraid to make an uneven line, since style lies precisely in the deliberately careless cut of the bottom of the legs.

Patches are at the height of fashion!

If you are young, daring and have golden hands, you can use appliqués. They transform old jeans so much that then people they know ask where to buy this beauty?

There are many options - choose according to your taste or look for something unique:

Bright rectangles made of multi-colored and multi-textured fabrics, randomly sewn onto the front legs of the trousers.
Applications using colored laces.
Applications in graffiti style.
“Dot” applications in the form of hearts, letters, patches, etc.
Using colored thin leather or denim in different shades.

You can also sew on appliques in different ways - from a regular stitch to a zigzag or even a satin stitch contour.

Crafts

Living by the principle “everything is useful in the household, from a bolt to a diamond,” needlewomen find use even for pieces of fabric left over from alterations of jeans. And a lot of cute little things appear that can be used as decoration for yourself or as home decor.

Here are ideas that will help you turn leftover fabric into stylish accessories.

Denim brooches and headbands

A simple version consists of a denim-covered base on which buttons, bows, and pieces of lace are attached. More complex brooches in the shape of flowers with petals will require a little more skill and perseverance - you can learn about the technology for making them in the video below.

Napkins, hot mats, potholders

Denim - the fabric itself is dense, and folded 3-4 times can protect your hands from burns during cooking, and will also protect the tabletop from stains. Original idea: serving mats with jeans pockets. This is where I put cutlery and napkins. A kitchen apron from the upper back of jeans will also match these accessories.

Video of various crafts made from denim

Photo frames, cases, organizers

Such crafts look stylish in rooms where teenagers live. Prepare a denim fabric measuring one meter by one meter. Sew the edges. And sew 3-4 rows of back pockets from old jeans. The original organizer for children's little things is ready. It can be hung above a table or bed. The table lamp shade is also cut out of denim.

A little imagination and perseverance, and the original thing from old jeans is ready. When purchased, a new denim skirt will cost from 1 thousand rubles. Youth shorts may cost a little less in mass market stores. Denim bags are sold at prices starting from 1.5 thousand rubles. As you can see, remaking old jeans will save you money on purchasing things. But how can we compare the joy of creative self-realization and the possession of an author’s model in a single copy? Only with new cool ideas for remaking old jeans.

Embroidery on jeans is painstaking and time-consuming, but beautiful and durable

If you can surpass even your grandmothers in needlework talent, and you have a box full of floss, feel free to look for the desired pattern.

Apply the pattern to the desired area.
We embroider. It’s better to use satin stitch, it looks more impressive. Although, you can also use the cutwork technique, but in this case it is not recommended to experiment with colors - take 1 thread color slightly lighter than the jeans fabric.

DIY jeans crafts - kitchen textiles

What exactly can be sewn from denim-based kitchen textiles:

Potholders, mittens for hot dishes;
Lunch mats for table setting;
Pockets for cutlery;
Tablecloth on the table.

Potholders can be made as simple as possible, or you can embroider or sew on appliqués, turning this element into a real masterpiece. For table setting, you can make pockets for forks and spoons.

In this case, you won’t need to sew anything, because it’s enough to carefully cut out the pockets of 2-3 trousers. It turns out very fresh and unusual. Suitable for a picnic or youth party!

Rivets on jeans are a timeless fashion

First, come up with a pattern or think about the geometry along which you will “screw” the rivets. If during the decorating process you realize that you have done “wrong” and “wrong”, it will be extremely difficult to correct.

We buy rivets in the store (those with “petals” on the inside).
We pierce the fabric with a rivet and bend the petals. If the jeans are too thick, make mini holes in advance.
Rivets will look most advantageous on side seams, pockets, waistbands or cuffs.

Ways to breathe new life into your old jeans - one cart and one small cart. Based on the above, you can come up with your own techniques and create a real masterpiece.

Remember: “hand-made” is valued at all times! You can even organize your own handmade business, ideas for which you can find here.

We sew shorts

Of course, you can remake or update the jeans themselves that have gone out of fashion. Modern fashion designers have taken up this topic so closely that the world's catwalks are filled with girls and boys wearing denim with lace, stripes, beads, embroidery and painting. And this is not to mention the frayed and torn options. Therefore, if you want to be on trend, you can apply a fancy pattern of rhinestones, studs to the trouser legs, or simply make scuffs and holes using regular sandpaper.

But we are not looking for easy ways. What can you make from old jeans? The simplest and most obvious thing they can be used for is stylish denim shorts. These pants can be of different lengths, from the short ones that are worn on the beach to the solid ones that cover the knees. You don’t need any special skills in cutting jeans, you just need to have some sharp scissors ready. And then “with a slight movement of the hand, the trousers turn into…”. A short master class will tell you how to do this:

We turn one of the trouser legs inside out and put it inside the other one, inside out to inside out.
Align both parts and chop with needles.
We mark with chalk the line along which we will cut.
Cut off the excess length. Be careful with your pockets, it is better to keep them intact.

The workpiece is ready. You can stop at this stage and simply fluff the raw edges of the product. Or make parallel cuts in several places with a stationery knife and carefully pull out the vertical threads. We receive a trendy item from grandma’s chest, which also bears traces of a “feast of moths.”

Video of making shorts from jeans

For those who are not suitable for simple solutions, there are options with painting and various girlish delights: sequins, beads, beads. They can be applied in any form or serve as decoration for individual parts of the shorts. If lace is chosen as the “cherry on the cake,” then you can sew it along the bottom edge, make inserts on the sides or front, make patches on pockets, or come up with your own original decor.

Mega popular jeans with rips, holes, slits, slits

If wide jeans can already be easily classified as basic options, then mega stylish women’s jeans for the 2022-2023 season with rips, holes, slits and slits should still be classified as original and impressive.

New models of jeans with ripped parts are sometimes shocking with the size of the holes, but despite this, such fashionable jeans have become one of the favorites for girls who strive to express themselves through an extraordinary appearance.

Trendy women's jeans with slits and slits are calmer in appearance.

As a rule, cuts and slits are made carefully. This element is used on the lower part of the leg at the front or side.

When it comes to rips, in these styles the designers replaced bold holes and rips with neat rips, offering these trendy jeans for those who like ripped jeans, but oversized rips are still too expressive for their style.

The latest innovation in this category is fashionable jeans, where neat, but at the same time very extravagant cutouts are located in the waist and tummy.

Note that similar stylistic details were applied to mom jeans, straight models, wide and flared jeans.

Battle of styles: slouchy or mom-fit. What's better?

Both mom-fit jeans and slouchy jeans are trendy today. Many compare these jeans models, considering them one and the same.

In fact, these jeans have differences, although small, but there are some. The best way to mark them is by seeing them in silhouette.

Thus, Mom-fit jeans are straight jeans with a loose fit, which, due to the ideal cut of the upper part and, as a rule, a high rise, perfectly hide the tummy.

You can wear mom jeans with any top. Moms look great in combination with a T-shirt and a jacket, shirt, or bomber jacket.

Slouchy jeans are voluminous, bulky jeans with pintucks at the waist, a narrow top and tapered bottom. A variety of mom pants and a variation of banana pants, popular in the 40s among men in creative professions, gives a characteristic volume to the hips.

If classic moms suit the majority, then slouchy jeans will look great on girls with a flat tummy, because the tucks can make it stand out noticeably.

It is difficult to talk about which jeans are better today, because there is still an individual criterion for choosing a model. Both moms and slouches are good styles that make any woman feel comfortable and stylish, regardless of age.

Classic straight jeans

The popular model of classic straight-fit jeans will always have its admirers, because straight jeans are the golden mean between wide jeans and mom jeans.

Classic straight-fit jeans 2022-2023 will be made, first of all, in current denim shades.

This versatile style looks great in both traditional and cropped lengths. These jeans are suitable for almost everyone, precisely due to their simple, laconic cut, fitting into everyday looks for the office, school, or walking.

Wide Leg Jeans

The first on our list of favorites are wide and very wide jeans, because they are aimed at making their owner’s legs endless, and her look confident and self-sufficient.

Wide-leg jeans have a huge number of variations, but the most trendy model is high-waisted wide-leg jeans.

As a rule, wide jeans are made of thick denim in order to successfully emphasize all the charms of the figure.

In addition to classic wide jeans, designers presented wide jeans with short legs, models with rips and unobtrusive abrasions, and beautiful new items with slits and slits.

The best tandems in the formula of combining jeans with other things are wide jeans + a voluminous shirt or cropped top.

Denim shorts with lace

If regular cut-off denim shorts are too boring for you, you can decorate them with original details

, for example, with lace like this. Lace, as you know, looks very stylish with denim.

For work you will need:
- Denim shorts

triangles off the sides of the shorts

as shown in the photo.

2) Cut two triangular pieces

so that they cover the cut out triangles. Attach them with pins.

3) Using a needle and thread, carefully sew the lace to the shorts

, hiding the stitches.

You can also line the pockets of shorts

Three, but not to the holes

Scuffs in the right places (except for the butt area and slightly below, in which case you will look like you got dirty somewhere) can be easily done using a piece of pumice, a foot file, or sandpaper. Hello 80s! Feel like a seasoned black marketeer! If you want to completely get into character, but... make boiled pants. It is not necessary to boil in a large basin for this (the 21st century is for two, and you are still boiling), you can simply wash the jeans with bleach.

How to decorate old jeans and make new fashionable jeans?

You can decorate old jeans with rhinestones , you don't have to make a specific design, you can decorate the pockets on the front and back of your jeans with rhinestones. For those who know how to embroider using satin stitch, you can also decorate your old new jeans this way.

Another fashionable decoration of jeans today is drawings. So, buy stripes and attach them. Previously, when we were children, we could cover holes in our knees this way, but you can put stripes on jeans above the knees - now such jeans are in fashion.

What else can you decorate old jeans with? Rivets and spikes are still in fashion. In the place where you have holes, you can sew colored fabric on the other side - lace, mesh, floral pattern, etc. This is how you will make original exclusive jeans with your own hands.
