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.

Blackout.

Hey Guys I'm finally back to blogging after having my internet being disconnected for Three Weeks, which kinda forced me to jump from computer to computer as if I was some kind of a blogging vagrant. I hope this kind of thing never happens to me again because let's face it, It's extremely hard to even run a blog when you have no internet access to begin with.

I'm still kinda out of it and I'm actually feeling kinda bored right now so I'll just make this into a quick post and just basically talk about what I've been up to while I had absolutely no idea what was going on in this strange world...

They don't have my first name but yet Coke decided to go with my last name!?!?
