There’s nothing cuter than shorts you made out of your old jeans. Here’s how to create the look, fashionistas!
NOTE: Definitely check with your parents FIRST before attempting this on your own, OK? Why? Because it involves scissors and cutting up your clothes!!
Here’s the drill:
Go to your closet and select your favorite shorts—ones that are the perfect length on you and make you feel great.
Place them on top of the jeans you want to turn into shorts. Make sure everything evens up perfectly!
See where the shorts’ hem falls on the jeans? Cut your jeans in a straight line several inches BELOW this hem. Why? Two reasons. First, you’ll want to have extra material in case you mess up. Second, you can roll up the cuffs for an easy-going look. To get that frayed look on the edges, put your new jean shorts through the wash and dryer and snip off any long, white ends.
Andddd. That’s pretty much it.

So true i did this one time and it worked♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥B-)B-)B-):O:O
I love them they are cute
it is nothing more fun than making shorts out of old jeans
I LOVE
I have tons of jeans and I did this 6 times. Really worth it! I did it many times so I learnt from each trial. One thing I did to make my shorts look more “finished” was on one pair I made the front higher than the back so its not all one level and another thing I did was (be careful with this one!) I asked my parents if I could use the sewing machine and I folded about 3 cm on the bottom up and stitched it along the line. Hope this helps!!
Awesome tips, Rachel! Sounds like you’re a pro
I love that;)
I love the 1st picture better
I don’t wear shorts… if I wear shorts, they would go down to my ankle, no higher then that! well, then they are pants then…
