What You Need:
- A pair of jeans or pants
- Scissors
- A writing utensil, preferably chalk
- Sewing machine/Needle & Thread/Pins (Optional)
- Bling bling (Optional)
How To Do It:
1) Start out by trying on your pair of pants. Mark approximately the length you want them to be.
2) Fold the pants in half, "hotdog" style. Make sure the edges of the legs line up! Then, add about two inches to the line that you just marked, and cut. Better safe then sorry!
You will get shorts that look like this:
3) Try them on. If you're happy with the results, wonderful! You have just created a nice pair of shorts! :) However, if you're bored with the shape and/or find them dull, read on.
4) Create a diagonal line from the crotch up to the sides. Use the same technique as before; fold "hotdog" style (aligning the sides of the shorts) and cut!
Now they'll look somewhat like this:
There isn't too big of a difference to be seen in the picture, but you'll definitely see it when you try them on again!
5) Be creative! Distress the raw edges, add studs, make a hem, roll up the bottoms, bleach/dye your shorts, etc. In other words, make it your own! Enjoy your shorts! ^__^
