Worn-effect jeans were not available to Soviet citizens. Only self-digestion of the fabric allowed to get a fashionable thing. Although today you can buy such denim clothing in any market, many fashionistas in the old fashioned way prefer to resort to the procedure for self-boiling the material.
When treating denim with acids, the color dye is removed from the surface of the material. Thus, the effect of worn matter is obtained. Boiled jeans are quite easy to make at home using the tools at hand.
What does it take to get the job done?
How to make washed jeans? To do this, you will need the following tools:
- capacious bucket or pan;
- water;
- bleach;
- wood spatula;
- clips in the form of rubber bands or clothespins;
- gauze bandage.
Pre-training
To make a boiled denim, you need to twist the product using rubber bands. It is recommended not to roll the material too tight,otherwise you can get few divorces. The shape of the patterns also depends on the density of the twisting of the fabric.
When sealing with elastic bands, rolled-up trousers get mostly vertical stains. If the material is folded in layers, fixing the latter with clothespins, the result is horizontal stripes on the surface of the material.
Progress of work
To make washed jeans with your own hands, you should do the work in the following sequence:
- Fill a deep pot with water and place on the stove.
- As soon as the water comes to a boil, add a glass of bleach, mix the solution thoroughly.
- Dip the pre-rolled jeans into the container. Continue to monitor the cooking so that the product remains completely immersed in water. For these purposes, it is convenient to use a wooden spatula.
- Remove the jeans from the water as soon as the material shows the result of cooking. If after 15 minutes of boiling the fabric does not change its shade, it is worth adding an additional amount of whiteness to the solution.
- Put jeans under cold running water. Remove elastic bands or clips, dry the product in the fresh air.
Cautions
When denim is boiled in a bleach solution, an abundance of caustic substances are released into the air space. Therefore, the procedure is recommended to be performed in a gauze bandage. If possible, use a respirator. The use of rubber gloves is also encouraged.
It is advisable to boil jeans with the openwindow leaf. The smell can not only cause discomfort, but also affect your well-being in the most negative way.
Do not repeat the procedure if the color is too dark. To evaluate the result, it is necessary to dry the product. Wet material always looks darker.
What to wear with washed jeans?
Denim pants with the effect of digestion look relevant in the warm season. The only season when such things are inappropriate is winter.
Washed jeans are perfect for casual casual wear. Such products look great along with T-shirts decorated with original prints, stylish T-shirts, tops, tight-fitting golfs. Checkered shirts, fitted jackets, vests are an ideal complement to washed jeans. In general, outerwear can be selected by fashionistas based on personal preferences. The main thing is that the things used should be made of light thin fabrics. Knitted or too tight clothes can make the image extremely inorganic.
As practice shows, washed jeans visually increase the volume of the hips. Therefore, it is recommended to refuse this option for full girls. However, in this case, the use of high-heeled model shoes allows you to brighten up the ensemble.
In closing
As you can see, as a result of fairly simple operations, you can turn completely ordinary jeans into an extremely original, unique thing that will become an object of universalattention. The procedure allows the implementation of all kinds of experiments. The nature of the pattern on the surface of the material largely depends on the method of twisting the fabric, as well as the clamps used. For example, you can cook only the legs or the top of the jeans, getting smooth, original transitions between the shades of the material.
