4) Once you have made your cut, flip the leg over onto the other leg of the jean for an identical cut.

5) Distress the jeans by running the blade of your scissors on the hem of the jeans and pluck the material with tweezers for an extra distressed look. (Optional: Cut slits near the pockets and distress the same way)

6) Fill a spray bottle with bleach.
