how to make distressed jeans::Cut the legs off.
Cut a bit lower than the desired length.
For extra fraying, use the sharp end of a pair of scissors or another pointed tool to rip off the legs.
Throw them in the bathtub or a bucket, and fill with enough water so that your shorts are completely submerged.
Pour 12 cups of bleach in the tub, and slosh the water around the tub to mix in the bleach.
Let the shorts sit in the bleach water until they are the desired color.
Depending on the desired color and the initial color, this could take a couple days or a couple hours.
When the shorts are done bleaching, rinse them out.
You may wish to skip this step if you use an old pair of jeans that already faded to the desired color.
Let the shorts sit in mud water or coffee grounds.
Keep checking on the shorts until they are stained enough.
Remember, the shorts will be a lighter color when they are dry.
Coffee ground method: this method will last longer.
In a bucket, use about two cups of coffee grounds and enough water to turn them into a liquid.
The more water you add, the lighter the stain will be.
Place the jeans in a bucket and let it sit overnight.
While working on your car or bicycle, or in your garden, wipe your hands on the shorts.
Stains from dirty motor oil or from the bicycle chain are practically impossible to wash out.
Spin the water out of the shorts.
Put the shorts on a spin cycle setting in your washer.
Dry the shorts either on on clothesline or a dryer.
To fray the edges, run a steak knife over them.
To make holes, put something hard, like a cement block, under the spot where you want the hole, then sand it.
This process can take a while, but provides the most yielding results.
A sharp object is quicker, but not as rewarding.
The holes will start fraying after the next wash.
