DIY Studded Shorts

Im sure if you are reading this, you have at least one pair of old jeans lying around that you NEVER wear anymore. But, since they still fit, and are still cute, you just can't seem to get rid of them. This week I bring you a little DIY, using those old pants/jeans/shorts!

First, get the needed supplies. Old jeans, fabric scissors, pyramid studs (can be found at a craft/fabric store for around $4) and a knife. 

Cut your jeans to desired length. Try them on first and mark with a pen before cutting (since we are also fraying the ends, add an extra 1/4 inch so they don't become toooo short)

Flip them over and start laying your pyramid studs where you desire. The pronged studs are super easy to use! You simple poke them into the back pocket (or wherever you desire placing them) and fold the prongs inward. 

Fraying the jeans is a super easy technique, that a lot of people don't do! Sometimes, just washing them can make them start to fray, but this is the technique that works best in my opinion. Take a serrated knife and gently run it back and forth along the bottom of the jeans. You can do it as much or as little as you want, depending on preference.   

And there you have it! For less than $4, you just transformed a useless pair of pants into the perfect pair of beach shorts :)
