Hey! This DIY is my favoriteeee! I make distressed shorts ALL OF THE TIME because they're so easy! I have a million pair, all different. Well, let's get going!Step 1: Get a pair of high waisted or "grandma" jeans. I get all of mine from the thrift store.
Step 2: Cut the jeans into shorts.
Step 3: look at the side hem of the shorts. Cut it like shown in the picture to give it a kind of "scalloped" look.
Step 4: Get a serrated knife. Using the tip of the knife, cut/ scrape horizontal lines on the shorts.
Step 5: To shred the jeans,
Put the knife perpendicular to the scrapes and go back and forth until the white strings begin to appear. Do this as many times as you want. Don't forget to decorate the back!
Step 6: Wash and dry the shorts as you would normally. This is what really roughs them up!
Now wear your new high waisted shorts with a tank top and some sneakers or a corset and your favorite pair of pumps! Make it your own!
Total cost: $1.48
