DIY: unloved skinny Jeans

So lately I have had a little love affair with ripped skinny jeans, I love the look and style of them and the added edge they give to my outfits. As I was going through some draws the other day I found a very un-loved pair of black skinny jeans. I don't know why I don't really wear them anymore but I thought I would rip them my self and show you guys!
So all I used was a pair of scissors, a pencil, a pair of tweezers and of course the jeans I was ripping. These black skinny's I've had for a while now and they've faded in colour which I actually really like!
 I put the jeans on to make sure I got the holes and rips that I wanted in the right place and just pencilled a little line and put a small hole at the lines on both knees.
I then took them off and cut all the way along from where I had put the small hole on the knees which ended them looking a little like this...
And then I just ripped them with my hands making them a little more messy and distressed. I then also went in with a pair of tweezes and just pulled on the material to again make them more ripped and distressed.
After that, once I was happy with the rips on the knees, I just went back again and did the same thing but with smaller rips in different places on the jeans which resulted them looking like this...
I'm actually really happy with the way they turned out although I may add a few more distressed bits and rips on them! These will no longer be my unloved jeans though and it didn't cost me a penny, Wooo!

Hope you enjoyed
