Revamp your pair of old jeans! Add studs, rivets and fray it to make it current!
I was actually packing up my room after I was finished with my Bar course in the UK (I am a law student) when I saw this old pair of jeans which was now 2 sizes too big. I didn't want to throw them away, so I decided to cut them into shorts and added my own twist to it with different types of studs and lots of fraying! Have fun!

Step 1
Find an old/unwanted pair of jeans! Do not use skinny jeans as it doesn't look good when you cut them for this project.
Step 2
Put your favourite shorts over the jeans. Make sure you match the crotch area!
Step 3
To make things simple, use everyday tools such as pencils and rulers! Use a pencil to line where you'd like the length of the shorts to be.
Step 4
Mark it!
Step 5
Now cut slightly below the line you have just drawn because this extra space will be used to fray the shorts later on!
Step 6
Use a pair of scissors, and fray the cut hem like so! Do not be afraid to drag the scissors hard.
Step 7
With a hole puncher, make some holes at the side of your jeans to add spiked studs.
Step 8
Screw the studs in!
Step 9
Next, get some rivet/pyramid studs.
Step 10
Place the rivet studs along where you'd like to have them. Poke them in, and use a flat-nose plier to push the little nibs in to secure the rivet stud.
Step 11
Now you have an updated piece in your wardrobe! I have been wearing this out so often and the studs are well secure!
