How to Cut Jeans into Shorts
Convert an old pair of jeans that you refuse to part with, into a pair of authentic and trendy shorts.
While choosing a pair of jeans for shorts, first decide the kind of fit you are looking for, loose or well-fitting.
Wear the jeans and use a washable marker, to mark the exact place you want to cut off your jeans. Measure the length with a measuring tape from your knee cap in order to determine the exact length of the shorts.
Take off the pair and lay out the jeans on a flat surface.
Fold the jeans at the point you have marked. Cut it straight with a sharp scissor, unless you would like a unique zig-zag or wavy pattern for your shorts.
Try them on again to ensure you like the look of the shorts.
For a frayed look, toss the shorts into the washing machine and dry. An overall frayed look can be achieved by rubbing sandpaper over the shorts.
You can also personalize the shorts by embellishing one back pocket with your initials or lucky number or the logo of your favorite sport team, or a sexy motif in the case of girls.
