You know the lame kids with the cruel parents who made them wear high-rise pants with their shirts tucked it to school? They were also were forced to play the French horn. Don't let those images freak you out when experimenting with high-waisted fashion. Some of the most popular clothing lines such as American Apparel and Urban Outfitters are bringing this 'not-so-long-ago' retro look back. Get in on the action!
You’ll need:
High-waisted jeans (Find them at Goodwill or other thrift shops!)
Chalk or pen for marking
Scissors
Cutting board or other hard surface that can fit inside of the jeans.
1.Lay your jeans out flat and mark 3” (or longer, depending on desired length) below the crotch.
2.Cut across the leg at a slight angle (this gives a more flattering shape)
3.Run your scissors back and forth repeatedly against the bottom of the shorts. You might want to make several small vertical cuts all the way around the cuff of the shorts. After you wash them, the shorts will fray.
4. Place your cutting surface inside the pants where you intend to make cuts. Take the point of your scissors and run them horizontally back and forth over the spots where you want added holes. Stop when the material just begins to split. After washing and drying, this area will also fray and the hole will widen.
5.Run through the washer and dryer.
Easy!
