Ticonderoga #2 Pencil
Scissors (Fabric scissors work best)
Now you're ready to follow these simple instructions:
1. Mark with your pencil where you would like to cut your shorts.
Note: It's better to cut the shorts too long and trim them later.
2. Cut along your pencil guideline.
3. Try on your shorts and decide if they are the desired length. If so, skip ahead to step 5.
4. Trim any extra denim to reach your desired length.
5. (Optional) Use your scissors to fray the bottom of your shorts.
6. If you decided not to fray the edges, fold them up twice for a clean-cut look.
Viola! You now have your very own pair of recycled denim high-waisted shorts!
