DIY: Distressed Jean Shorts

Earlier in the week, I purchased a high-wasted pair of pants from a local thrift store in my area. I didn't like them very much as jeans, so I transformed them into a cute pair of cut-off distressed shorts!

It's super easy...

Things you will need:

-Rubber Gloves

-Bleach (mines Clorox, but any bleach works)

-A spray bottle 

-Scissors or Blade

-Washing Machine 

First, cut your jeans to the desired length. 

Then, if you want to lighten your jean shorts or acid wash them, fill a spray bottle with bleach. 

I sprayed mine with a light mist so they would lighten, but if you want splotches of bleach then you might want to pour your bleach on the shorts and wait 30 minutes.

Throw them in the wash to distress the ends and wash out the bleach (if you used bleach.)

With a blade or scissor, rub the blade back and fourth fast to made the distressed holes. 

Once you make several holes in a spot, instead of rubbing the scissors back and fourth, rub up and down to make the strings a little more apparent. 

And this should be your finished result!

If you make these shorts, leave me a comment or email a picture!

Have fun, and stay classy :)
