Don't have any shorts? Not a problem, mang! Just like a chiropractor, Dirt Rodder has got your back ...
How to Make Denim Shorts:
Things You'll Need
• Old jeans
• Regular bleach
• Scissors
• Steak knife
• Pocket knife
• Dryer
Warnings
• Be safe around the bleach. Don't let it get on other clothes or on
your skin.
• Be careful when using sharp knives.
Steps
1.) Put a pair of old jeans into a bathtub full of water with the amount of bleach you desire in it. This amount depends on how light or dark you want your cut-offs.2.) Let the jeans soak for about a half hour to an hour (once again,depends on how much bleach you put in).
3.) Take the jeans out and throw them in the dryer for about one hour. If they're a little damp, don't worry, you can work fine with them.
4.) Use tough scissors to cut off the legs until you get to your desired length.
5.) Fray the bottom edges and around the sides and the front and back pocket openings with scissors or a pocket knife.
6.) Fray the actual fabric up and down fast and hard to get a rough look, using sandpaper.
Tips
• To keep the stringy fray, you may want to freshen them up every now and then by running the knife across the cut-offs.
• When you are cutting your jeans down to shorts, be sure to try them on every few cuts! Remember, you can always cut off more, but you can't always add back on easily.
• If you get bleach on your skin, wash the area immediately for 15-20 minutes in warm water.
• If you already have a favorite pair of shorts, fold them in half the same way you folded your jeans (do this before you cut) and lay the shorts on top of the jeans lining up the seams, use the shorts as a loose guideline for length.
There you have it... Stay cool, bros. DR
