Ranzuki How To Distress Jeans
Friday, December 4th, 2009 | 42 Comments 
THEME TIME!

You know I always gotta have a Christmas theme! So I threw this together. Mike approved of my fail Xmas lights drawing on the banner, haahaa. Hey, I was just happy he could tell they were Xmas lights!
This will be up after Christmas for a little bit given I’ll be super busy so… yeaaaa
I saw this how to distress jeans tutorial in Ranzuki and I immediately thought of my outcast-ed jeans from my last post!
I want to try it!! I’ve been wanting some really, really distressed jeans.
I already have some that look like this…

What I’m talking about are super stringy distressed! I want to wear colorful tights, like my leopard tights, underneath them!! I haven’t been able to find much in the moderately priced stores here that live up to these looks…

This is the Ranzuki how to, I went ahead and googled a few other how-to’s for distressing too. Since I want to do something so intense it’ll probably take a while. So I’ll do it tomorrow.

I’m hoping it doesn’t start snowing too badly in the morning. I really want to go to Dean & Deluca’s for a Yule Log Cake
! But it’s saying 100% chance of snow!
I’ll just have to see how the morning weather is.

yay im first to comment!!
but yeah, im glad distressed jeans are in~
i JUST bought a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans during black friday
leopard tights! awesome idea!!!
Oh, what a good idea! I already have a pair like the pair you have, but I’ve always wanted ones that are more distressed to show my tights too!
Oh wow, your christmas layout is super cute~~! I love it so much, the colors are just lovely. ^^
The distressing tutorial is very useful, do you think it would be cool to distress shorts in that way?
Oh yes! I didn’t think about that but you could do shorts too!
Hahaha, I love your drawing of Xmas lights too! It’s cute~
This theme is making me want Christmas to come NOW! D;
I need to have a pair of distressed jeans before I go for really really distressed jeans.
don’t think i’m ready for that yet… :\
OMG love the new layout! It’s so cute.
I friggen heart distressed jeans like the one from Popteen. I’ve seen some in Hollister or A&F but they’re not moderately priced though. Haha.. I have a pair of shorts I distressed myself. GREAT stress relieving activity! LOL~
Now I need some polka dotted socks! I like how she paired it up with her blue suede shoes.. xD
Haahaa, that’s what I was thinking! I really didn’t want to drop so much $ if I could revive an old pair of already purchased pants
I didn’t realize her shoes were suede til you pointed that out. LOL, nice! *big grin*
Awesome!! The new layout is the cat’s jammies by the way ~
I have been looking for a pair of sheer detailed socks forever!
They are in Fruits magazine every season, all the time! Very cool
Heehe is that a ferret?!
I think it is a ferret, LOL!
Yea the closest I’ve got are white with black polka dots from Target.
I’ve been following your blog for a little while, but I just want to de-lurk and say that your new layout is SO cute! I’m loving the Christmas spirit.
Nice to meet you then
I love the new layout!
So cute!
I want to try distressing jeans though I’m afraid I will ruin them
Yea, that’s why I’m using an old pair I was planning to donate anyway.
what a fun holiday layout! happy holidays. =) no snow here, but it’s getting pretty cold.
When I first went on your blog just now, I thought, “OMFG, X-MAS LAYOUT!”
Sooo cute ~ Aww, I wanna try the jean distressing thing. Maybe my skinny jeans will look cooler :O
wow its so pretty ^______^
such a cute layout xD
So far nothing here with snow… Hopefully it will hold off until you get to your destination safely

Xmas layout is love & good luck with the distressing!
I’ve always wanted to try a DIY project like that but I’m too nervous, hahaha!
I saw that photo on Wei Son’s blog too~ most of her outfits are a little insane but I love each & every one of them too!
Yea, it took me a while to warm up to her. Really, I’m not that crazy about HER but damn her outfits can be ballin’!!
PP
Cute new Christmas theme ^^
Good luck with distressing your jeans! I think if I did it I might wreak the whole jean or something lol D:
Thanks for the tute, I was looking for something like this for my pair of daggy looking jeans.
Hahaha, we always have the same weather! I remember you blogged about raining a few days ago and it was raining over here where I live too. And today, it said that it’s going to snow as well! (It was suppose to snow yesterday but it didn’t)
I actually only have one pair of distressed jeans. They look a bit similar to one in Popteen that you posted.
Your drawing is cute! I don’t think it’s a failure at all. =)
Cute new layout!!The lights are cute
I love distressed jeans,I’ve got one pair but they’re not as distressed as I’d like:( Might dig them out of my cupboard and sandpaper them again
ooo~ I would like to see the outcome of this. lol, i just noticed the animal she’s holding.. in the first pic xD I also like the heels with the jeans ^^ that would be interesting to try on different types of tights underneath
This looks like fun~
Can’t wait to see how they turn out!
haha, I read this post just a little bit before going to bed and then I had a dream where I was distressing my own jeans, lol. Unlike in real life though in my dream it went perfectly and smoothly ;P
I LOVE THIS LAYOUT!!!
And I love the Popteen distressed jeans! SO CUTE!
Lovely Christmas theme! I should so a little sprucing up as well.
Ah, yes! I love distressed denim, mostly because it’s comfy, so I bought a jean miniskirt from Plato’s Closet and hacked away at it with a knife and it came out pretty well.
I’ve done it to a few of my other jeans, too, and it’s a much cheaper alternative.

I have been wanting to do that to my jeans for a long long long time.
Thanks so much 8D
The Christmas theme is so cute! I love fail drawings though D:
100 percent chance of snow? As someone who’s always lived in snow-less places, I must say I’m jealous :( love the new theme, I like it when people get festive in their layouts ^^
I grew up with no snow so I’m always excited for it unlike many people who’ve lived here their whole lives!!
ahhh SNOWWW
take pictures please!
I have never seen snow in my waking life, ever. & distressed jeans I think only look good on some people. For me it’s like insta!bum ahaha I immediately look homeless
I’m loving your new theme! I think the drawings are very cute (and not fail) :3
I had a pair of jeans that on friday had a lovely distressed hole on one knee, it looked fab. By Sunday the hole opened right up and the lower half was just hanging off, the hole was huge and I eventually had to throw them away. It was very distressing :-)
Nice new layout. And, heh heh, I tried distressing my own jeans once and took a cheese grader to them! It was fun and cathartic and they became my favorite pair ever! Pics when you are done!
Yea I read about using a cheese grater! I tried it but preferred the sand paper. Easier to work with for me.
I love how distressed jeans look. I’ve never heard of them called that before - I’ve always called them ripped jeans
. They always remind me of Donnie Wahlberg from NKOTB
he,
Aww your theme looks so nice
All I did to mine was add a graphic. LMAO Love yours though. MAKE ME ONE TOO!
I like yours though! It’s all vector modern looking
