Halloween DIY: Destroyed Skinny Jeans

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to show you how to make a pair of Distressed skinny jeans that's simple and easy to recreate with just a few tools that you may have lying around in your home. Now this isn't really a Halloween DIY per se, but because it happens to be a part of my costume and I was trying to go for a more rugged and badass look, so I've decided to just make a little tutorial on how you can make distressed and destroyed details of your own that you can pretty much do to anything such as jeans, shorts, t-shirts, or whatever else you may have in mind.

You Will Need:

• A Pair of Skinny Jeans (It doesn't matter on colour as long as it's made out of 100% cotton)
• Rough Sandpaper
• Box Cutter (or an Exacto Knife)
• Scissors
• Something sturdy that you can fit between the legs of the pants so that you don't cut through to the other side

Optional:

• Steel Wool
• Tailor's Chalk (or a Pencil or a Pencil Crayon if you don't have any Chalk handy) for the markings
• Miscellaneous materials and/or tools that you might want to add to the jeans

So Here is the Pair of Jeans that I started off with. I recommend that you buy your jeans from the Thrift Store or use an old pair that you no longer use. The jeans should be made out of 100% Cotton but these ones were 98% cotton and 2% spandex and they still turned out ok. But really and truly you should not be using jeans that are made from a blended fabric as they won't turn out as well.
