Instructions

  1. First put the jeans on and mark with the chalk about at the middle of your upper thigh. Take the jeans off and cut along the marked line.

  2. Now put it back on. Fold the legs up to the length you want it. Take the chalk again and mark around the fold.

  3. Take the jeans off again and turn it inside out. Now cut off the legs underneath the chalk line.

  4. Voilá! You have the perfect DIY cut off jeans short at the exact length you want it.
