DIY Distressed Shorts

Hey guys! Another DIY tutorial coming your way! :D

I got these pair of loose high-waisted jeans from my mom. It wasn't very flattering because it looked like a pair of mom jeans. Also, a thing popped up from my mind: I DON'T HAVE A PAIR OF BLACK SHORTS. So I immediately decided to cut it up these oldies into fresh new distressed shorts.

TOOLS/MATERIALS:

* A pair of pants

*A pair of shorts a s a pattern

*Scissors

*Marking Tool

*Distressing tools (blade, sand paper, cheese grater, etc)

STEP 1: Mark how short you want your shorts to be, you can use the pair of shorts as a guide. TIP: Leave an allowance when marking for the distressing part.

STEP 2: Cut it.

This is how it will look like after cutting both legs! (Sorry, the other side has a stain)

STEP 3: Using any distressing tool, distress the ends of your shorts. I used the side of my scissors to distress it, I just rubbed it onto the shorts.

VOILA! Distressed!

STEP 4: Using any marking tool (preferably tailor's chalk) mark the part you want to distress. Then distress it using THIS METHOD.

FRAYS.

And the finished product! I absolutely fell in love with my DIY. Imma gonna wear it anytime, anywhere! :D

I hope you liked the tutorial and the product just as I did! I hope you enjoy doing your own :D

Leave some comments, I love reading them! :)

Oh, Happy Bonifacio Day here in the Philippines!

DIY Distressed Shorts + How to Bleach A Pair of Shorts

Hi guys! Sorry for not posting recently, I've been too busy of my studies. Thankfully, I made time to make this simple DIY project. I AM REALLY SORRY FOR THE LOW QUALITY, our camera was needed to be repaired, so I used my camera phone, instead. Let's get started!

I accidentally bought a pair of shorts without any reason, (must be the effect of studying hard ;)) and I was shocked to see them at my cabinet. When I asked mom whose shorts those were, she said that it was mine and I bought it. So, yeah. Pretty stupid of me, huh? :D

TOOLS/MATERIALS:

*Pair of shorts or pants you want to cut

*Marking tool

*Scissors

*Cutter, tweezers, or any distressing tool

STEP 1: Mark on how short you want your shorts to be.

STEP 2: Cut the desired length.

STEP 3: Mark the place where you will distress your shorts. (TIP: Draw an oval-shaped figure and trace lines inside the shape)

STEP 4: Using scissors or a cutter, cut the lines you have just traced.

STEP 5: Using the tweezers, pull the thread out of the shorts, and pretty much distress it.

This is how it will look like after an hour of PATIENCE.

STEP 6: (OPTIONAL) Grab a bucket, bleach, and water. Fill a bucket with 3/4 water and 1/4 bleach. Soak the shorts, and wait for 1-2 hours until you get the desired color. (FINALLY FIXED THE CAMERA HERE)

I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial, bye! :)

(P.S. Please leave comments, I love reading them :D)
