Jeans have a prominent place in our wardrobes, but we don't always have (or fit us well) the ones that we wear the most. If you want to update a model that has become somewhat outdated, pay attention to our advice. These, for example, from the Fashion and Sugar blog have a classic cut but have been modernized with a ripped knee.

Do you have a necklace that you no longer wear? Then undo it and sew the beads that you like the most to your jeans. It will be the most current. Have you noticed the detail of the handkerchief tied at the ankle? Great!

The frayed hems are very easy to get. Trim your jeans to the height you want and start pulling threads with your fingers until you have as many as you want.

With a small cheese grater you can create that worn effect that is so fashionable. If you also add some beads on the bass you will have a renewed and super current model.

We love how this drawing of kittens looks on the knees of these jeans. Do you want to copy it? Make a template out of paper and then cut out the shapes out of felt. Glue them with textile glue (or sew them together) and you're done.

If you want to go one step further, buy a border (or recycle it from a handkerchief). If it doesn't have tassels, you can add them yourself with another ribbon purchased at the haberdashery. It will look great!

Recreating this design is not that complicated. You just have to get several shades of pink of textile paint and give the brush. Start with the trunk and branches in brown. Then you just have to add small circles in pink to create the flowers and then smaller dots in darker pink to give it more detail.

We all love wearing jeans. They look good, they stylize the figure and they can be combined, without risk of being wrong, with practically the entirety of your wardrobe. However, you may have more than one model in your closet that is a little out of date. If you want to update them and give them a second life, take a pair of scissors and cut without fear because we teach you how to update your jeans.
How to customize your jeans
- Broken . The knee slits, however, are a safe bet when it comes to recycling your old jeans . You can leave them open or take out some threads that go from side to side.
- Hem with turn. There is no simpler and more effective gesture than giving the hem of your jeans a couple of turns. And also, this change is reversible in case you want to wear your jeans in the original version again at any other time.
- Patches . Be it shields, cartoons, embroidered flowers … the patches are very popular and easy to put on. You just have to iron over them so they stick to your jeans.
- Crochet . You can crochet strips with all kinds of designs in the haberdashery that you can easily place in the bottom of your pants, the back pockets …
- Pompoms . In the same establishments you can get strips of pompoms that you can sew or glue on the sides or / and the bottom of the jeans.
- Frayed . Either in the hem or the openings you can take out threads to create fringes of different sizes.
- Worn out . Another effect that you can easily create is worn. You only need a cheese grater and go through the areas you want to wear.
