handywork

We all know it's horribly cliched but I diy-ed a pair of jeans the other day, and i actually LOVE them. Because unlike everyone else, I didn't just slash them and rip them up, I messed around with the colour tool.
The previous night I found some old skinny jeans that really weren't anything special ($25 actually) so I decided to "acid wash" them with bleach.
The first round wasn't too successful - it was too pale and just looked like someone had accidently sloshed bleach on the denim. But on the 2nd try I rubbed in a whole lot more Domestos and left them outside for an hour or too and the result was Awesome (in my opinion).
Then I sandpapered them and attacked them with the stanley knife and viola!

I don't mean to brag but everyone thought they were expensive store-bought jeans.
The Ksubi's we were craving? I think so....
