The jeans I bought to distress and cut. $2.50 at a thrift shop. Brand: Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker
My fabulous new pair of shorts!:)
Level of difficulty: easy
Cost: <$5
Materials: Cheese grater, jeans, scissors, soda can, pencil
Method: First, find a pair of jeans that you want to turn into distressed shorts. I got mine at my favorite thrift shop for $2.50. Next try the jeans on and mark how short you want them with the pencil and afterwards cut them. What I did was marked and cut the jeans by my knee to begin with and gradually cut them shorter and shorter. You can't undo a cut so be careful. After the cutting was done, I used a cheese grater to distress the jeans. To guarantee that I wouldn't grate both sides of the jeans, I placed a soda can underneath the area I was distressing. Finally, I threw the jeans in the washer and then the dryer and voila! A new pair of shorts. An article in a past issue of Justine inspired me to use a cheese grater for distressing as shown above.

A European Brown Bear- isn't he cute?
My favorite- the swan
Hi! I took these pictures at Great Adventure in New Jersey. Great Adventure is basically like a giant zoo but instead of walking around, you drive through it in your car. There is the possibility that animals will come right up to your car. In fact, a giraffe came up to my family's car and put his nose on my mom's window. Anyway, these are just some of the photos I took.
