I made these shorts a while ago out of an old pair of jeans. I didn't like the bottom of them so I decided to fray them. I did do a post on how I bleached and studded them, but I'll repost that here too so you have the full tutorial.
This is great idea if you want to revive an old pair of unused jeans!

Bleaching
As you can see, my jeans were quite a dark colour so I went about bleaching them. I'm not sure what was wrong with this denim, but it WOULD NOT BLEACH!
I used a mixture of thick bleach and water, I left them to soak for over 6 hours and they didn't change colour at all...
I had to get more bleach and I found Tesco's own brand thin bleach, £0.29 for a 2 litler bottle so got that!
I used the bleach neat and left it on my shorts and it finally started working...
I still had to wait a long time for them to bleach, about another 6 hours but it was worth the wait...
As you can see, they are significantly lighter than what they were...
Studding
All I needed to do then was to stud them! Luckily for me ,I already had some leftover studs from previous projects so I didn't have to spend any money on them :D
FRAYING
The first thing you need to do cut them, (you couldn't see the cut lines I had drawn on so I edited them on so you understand what I mean lol)
The red line is where you should cut, and the green line is where you should start fraying them. The gap in the middle is how long your frayed edges will be, so make it as long / short as you like. I would say make it bigger as if you want the frayed edges to be shorter, you can always trim them later.
I used a 'Quick Unpick' to fray them. It took forever and made a right mess haha
I frayed them all the way around, then they were done!
TOP TIP
If you accidently cut your shorts too short, accidently cut off some of the frayed edges or simply want the frayed edged thickening up, you can do this...
Take a spare piece of denim that you've just cut off and fray the edge of it...
Turn your shorts inside out then glue the fabric onto the inside. It's a better idea to use glue as if you sew it on, you will see the stiches on the outside.
All you need to do now is trim the edges to blend the two layers together and there you go, one pair of bleached, studded, frayed denim shorts!
:D
