Tuyen's Thoughts:

Let's get started on the DIY!



What You'll Need:
  1. A pair of skinny jeans you won't mind distressing!
  2. A marker or chalk to mark your cuts
  3. A needle 
  4. Scissors
First off, mark the cuts on your knees. I would wear the jeans first and then mark it (It'll be easier!). The left side is the finished product and the right side is what I'll demonstrate for you!


Next, cut the mark and begin to distress with a needle! I like distressing with a needle instead because it's more precise and steady. You'll see these white threads and some will fall apart and that's okay, so don't feel like you messed up! Just keep pulling the white threads until you think it looks great! Try it on a few times and see if its the right size and fit to avoid any mess ups. (Please excuse my nails... I need to go get a mani again)



And there's the final product! 






Happy DIY'ing! ❤
