- [Both] Hey guys, it's Brooklyn and Bailey.
- And in today's video, we're gonna be showing you
five different amazing ways you guys can recycle old jeans.
So we've been seeing a lot of
really cool jean styles recently,
like a lot of like this--
- [Both] Fringey--
- [Brooklyn] Like hems and these florally pattern designs.
- [Bailey] Patches.
- And stuff, and so we're gonna show you guys
all of that in this video today
on how you guys can do a DIY style
and recycle those old jeans
that you just do not want to use anymore.
But before we get on and show you guys that,
be sure to click down below,

We're gonna give you five seconds to ring it.

that a lot of you did it.
So leave a comment below.
Now, let's get on to the video.
- Woo!
(cheerful music)
- [Brooklyn] In this DIY, I'm gonna be showing y'all
how to create your own pair of ripped jeans.
To start, we need a pair of plain jeans, a ruler,
some sandpaper, an X-ACTO knife,
a piece of cardboard, some scissors,
and a piece of chalk.
For these jeans, I'm going to be showing you
how to make holes in your jeans
and how to rough them up so that they look natural.
To start, you're going to take a piece of chalk
and outline where you want the hole
to start and end on your jeans.
Then you're gonna take your piece of cardboard
and put it inside the pant leg of your jeans,
right where you're going to be making the hole.
Now, you're going to take your X-ACTO knife
and start cutting across the line of chalk you made earlier,
where you want your hole to start
and where you want your hole to end in your jeans.
Once you've done that, you can make minor cuts
in between those two lines
of where you want your hole to start and end,
so it kind of makes a ripped-up effect.
Although your cuts may currently look like Swiss cheese,
like this, after washing them, they fray a little
and end up turning out just like these.
(upbeat music) After you've made your holes,
you can take your cardboard
and place it inside the pocket of your jeans.
Now you can take your X-ACTO knife
and cut horizontal lines across the seam
of the pocket of your jeans.
After you're done cutting, you can take your sandpaper,
which I actually really hate
the feeling of sandpaper (laughs)
and just rub it along the cuts
that you've made in your pocket
to kind of just rough them up a little bit more.
And after a few minutes of extreme arm workout,
you will get the results you're looking for
with a roughed-up pocket edge.
And there you have your ripped up jeans.
(upbeat music)
- [Bailey] All right, you guys,
it's time to make these adorable rose patch jeans.
So for these jeans, all you need is an old pair of jeans,
these super cute rose patches, and fabric glue.
So as you can see, I have already done one leg of my jeans
and they look super cute,
so I'm gonna flip it on over
and show you guys how I did it on the other leg.
All right, step uno.
Take your rose patches
and place them on your jeans where you want them.
Make sure you like where you're putting them
because that's where you will be gluing them,
and trust me, it's really hard to get those patches off
once they've been glued.
I've tried it, it's not possible.
So make sure that you like where you're placing them.
Next, take this fabric glue and glue the back of the patch.
Make sure you're getting those cracks and crevices
and all the edges so that it sticks perfectly.
Now, flip it on around and press it onto those jeans
and hold it for a couple seconds
to make sure it does not move.
You want it to stay on those jeans.
So once you have pressed it for a long amount of time,
you can go ahead and take the next rose patch
and just do the exact same steps.
Put glue on the back and then press it down on the jeans
and make sure it stays there,
and voila, you've got your beautiful,
gorgeous rose patch jeans.
(upbeat music)
- [Brooklyn] Now it's time for us
to make these cut hemmed jeans.
We need a pair of jeans, a piece of cardboard,
an X-ACTO knife, and some scissors.
In order to make these jeans,
we have to cut a half circle
from the back of the ankle of your jeans,
as you can see right here.
So we're going to be starting with a pair of scissors
and we're going to go to the ankle on the back of our jeans
and we're going to cut out a half circle from seam to seam.
After cutting, you should have a half circle
shape of your jeans left over,
which if you're really crafty,
I'm sure you can find a use for,
but I just plan on throwing away. (laughs)
Then, you're going to place your cardboard
inside the leg of your pants, as you can see,
and make sure that the fabric is on top of the cardboard.
Then take your X-ACTO knife and cut just tiny little cuts
up the pant leg, so you rough up the edge just a little bit.
After you wash your jeans,
they will turn out a little bit more rough on the edges,
and you've finished your jeans.
(upbeat music)
Now it's time to make our faux embroidered jeans.
To start, you need a pair of jeans,
some floral patches of your choice,
and some fabric glue.
For these jeans, we're gonna make everyone think
that we are absolutely amazing at embroidery
and embroidered all these flowers onto our jeans,
when, in reality, we cheated a little
and just glued some patches on with some fabric glue.
To start, I'm going to lay out my jeans
and start placing patches in a pattern that I like.
Once you've finished placing the pattern,
you can take a piece of cardboard
and place it underneath the jean pant leg
right where you've placed your patches.
Now take your fabric glue, take one of your patches,
and start lightly applying your fabric glue
all over the back of the patch.
Once you're done gluing,
you can put it on the jeans where you want.
Press down and hold and let the glue dry
so the patch sticks to the jeans.
This is super easy, but honestly, the hardest part
is trying not to glue your fingers down too.
Continue doing this for all your patches
and then you will have your faux embroidered jeans.
(cheerful music)
- [Bailey] I'm saving the best for last, you guys,
so I'm gonna show you guys how to make
these super cute DIY fringe jeans.
So first things first.
All you need is an old pair of jeans,
a ruler, some tweezers, scissors,
and chalk or even a marker.
Something to mark on the jeans that will show up.
So as you can see, to start off this DIY,
I already have one leg done
and it is so cute.
So before we go on to the second leg,
I'm gonna have you whip out that ruler.
Now, take that ruler and measure four inches
at the bottom end of the leg.
So you can see, I've started the bottom end,
measured four inches and marked it off with my chalk.
So now that I have it marked off,
I'm gonna go ahead and cut that end off with my scissors.
All right, you guys, so now that I've cut off the leg,
it's time to pull out that ruler again
and measure about two inches above
the bottom part that we just cut off.
So you can see I'm marking two inches with my chalk.
I told you guys this chalk would come in handy.
So now that we have it marked,
go ahead and take your scissors
and just cut small strips all the way up to that line,
and we're gonna continue cutting these small strips
all the way around that bottom leg of the jean.
Okay, so now that you have finished cutting
all the way to the edge,
we're gonna take one of those strips
and you can see those blue threads on the inside.
We're just gonna take them one by one
and peel it kind of like a banana,
and we're just gonna continue peeling those blue strips down
until we are able to pull out the mini white threads.
This is basically unthreading the stitching in the jean,
so that way, all you have left
is the blue threads hanging down below.
So this might seem like it would take forever,
and it does take a little while,
but guys, I promise that it goes fast once you get started
and I literally wear these jeans all the time,
so it is so worth it.
And if you don't feel like
doing these jeans all by yourself,
you can always holla for a little bit of help.
Asa was next to me, so I had him help me make these,
and so that's how I got them done so quickly,
so if you feel like it's taking a long time,
just ask somebody to help you.
So as you guys can see, I continued that step
all the way around the bottom end of the jean,
and voila, you can see we have our fringe jeans.
They're so cute on
and I always get compliments when I wear them,
so guys, definitely try out this DIY.
It's so worth it.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
I hope you enjoyed this DIY.
You guys will definitely catch us
wearing these jeans in our Instagram pictures.
- Oh, oh yeah. - Because they're cute jeans.
