How To Make Denim Shorts At Home?

To make denim cut off shorts, first choose your jeans and decide the cut length. Then, draw a cut line, cut the fabric, and hem or cuff as desired. This step-by-step DIY shorts tutorial is perfect for those who love the cut and fit of denim shorts.

To create the simplest pair of denim cut-off shorts, simply cut off the legs of the jeans and choose slightly loose-fitting ones. There are five essential tips for making distressed denim shorts from an old pair of jeans:

1. Slip on your jeans and use chalk to mark your desired length.
2. Cut off most of the pant legs to create knee-length shorts. This will make the jeans easier to handle without extra material in the way.
3. Put on your chosen pants and step in front of a full-length mirror to determine the finished length.
4. Choose your jeans from your closet or Goodwill. Only 100% cotton jeans will fray well, so be sure to check the fabric.
5. In four easy steps, you can convert battered jeans or paint-splattered khakis into shorts custom-made just for you. Jean shorts are one of the easiest upcycling projects and can be made with minimal supplies, time, and experience.
