Countless times, we come across cool jeans but they are usually more expensive than the basic ones. Because of this, we found super interesting tips to leave that boyfriend jeans or, even, that basic, in a non-basic version.
1. Mark the knees of your pants with an X and, if you prefer, you can mark it when you’re dressed. Then, mark one span below the X and one span above;
2. On the sides of your pants, mark two fingers on one side and the other;
3. With the pen itself, connect all the dots and make an oval shape (it doesn’t have to be right) to have a base of how much fabric will be removed from the pants;
4. Separate fabric scissors and cut out the marked place;
5. Pull the sides of the pants tightly in the place you just cut to unravel the jeans a little;
6. Still on the sides, make strips and shred. Remove the darker lines from the pants. If it is harder jeans, the tweezers may help you;
7. On the bottom of your pants, pull the white threads (as much as you can).
8. There is no “right” way to undo your pants, it is cool for you to undo and adjust according to your style!

2. After cutting, place all fabrics on top of the larger circle;
3. Put all the circles in a “snail” movement and fill all the fabric;
4. Finish with fabric glue or sew! And that is it! Your jeans carpet will be prepared to be (a lot) used.
