How To: Destroy denim with household items

Everyone wants trendy custom looking destroyed jeans and this video teaches us the best, and most practical way to destroy them yourself at home, avoiding the often huge markups stores can apply to these sorts of items. Taking the jeans that you intend to alter, you take a simple razor to the area you wish to rip, and lightly, in a sort of tapping motion, slash at it until you expose a whitish color in the material. Go all the way through if you wish to expose skin, but be careful where you do this, you don't want to show anything unexpected. Further, our hostess says, take the razor, use a brushing up and down motion over the denim to achieve a worn out rustic look. Trendy jeans are easy to do yourself, as this video well shows.
