VIDEO: DIY CUT OFF SHORTS

YouTube Preview Image

So here ya go kids. I know it seems easy enough, but I have f*cked up on a whole lotta ‘cut offs’. And yes, there is a big difference between booty shorts and cut offs. Be careful with your knife-ies! xx (p.s. I’m using a pair of Gap mommy jeans here)

AUDIO AT THE END OF THE VIDEO IS BEING FIXED–eff you iMovie.

    This only works if you have a guide though… if you don’t have a guide, then you’re more likely to mess up!

    great DIY…have done many a pair of cut jeans! don’t want to call it a cutoffs cause, for a guy that might be weird but, I have a little tip if you bunch the cut part in your hand and use a hair brush like your scrubbing…way easier!

    have a good one

    V, this is such a great tutorial! i’ve always wondered how to properly fray the hem of denims…and now i know, thanks to you!

    oh, btw, i hope i don’t sound creepy by saying this but i looove the tone and quality of your voice! i guess i’ve spent too many hours supervising radio copy productions that i’ve become mindful or aware of the tones of people’s voices. haha!

    do send me some crazy love over at deathbyplatforms.blogspot.com :)

    See ya!

    i just did this to my black pair! they weren’t originally jeans, but they were really long mom shorts, haha. now i must take a steak knife to the hems, because i tried to use the exacto knife like i did on the legs and it just didn’t work. thanks for the guide!
