3. Renew old jeans

Jeans last for many years and are worn both in summer and winter. They are simple and you can mix them with all kinds of clothes and shoes. The best thing about it all is that the use of holed and faded jeans is very modern today. Therefore, you can change them as you wish.

• If your jeans are simple and boring, then you can bleach them. Simply put bleach and water (in equal amounts) in a spray bottle and spray your jeans. They will look amazing when dried.
• You can place colored stones around the pockets using fabric glue.
• You can also iron or glue patches on them.

• In addition, you can tear holes in the knees. Use scissors to cut with and then tear into the fabric.
