This is a realy simple and cheap project to do! I bought the jeans from a charity shop for £1, and I already had the studs. In total it took me about 20 minutes. Next time I plan on dyeing the shorts a bright colour.

Instructions

  1. Small 004 1308338461

    Take one pair of old jeans. I chose a pair of vintage Levis. Fold them over so that the legs are togther.

  2. Small 005 1308338413

    Mark where you want you shorts to come to. If you want turns ups, then add another 4 inches. Carefully cut through both legs where you've marked.

  3. Small 006 1308338514

    Your shorts should now look like this. Turn the bottoms over twice and iron in place.

    Finnaly, add any studs for decoration. I used vintage studs, so I used a pair of pliers to make sure the points were all straight first.

    Finnished! Rock your shorts in style this summer.
