D.I.Y all the time! Mid-Thigh ripped tights



                                                                                       
D.I.Y all the time!

Mid-Thigh ripped tights

 I fell in love with these tights the moment i saw a picture of them on Google. So i thought what the heck i have a couple pairs of tights. So i just grabbed a pair of tights, some scissors and chalk and made my own right then and there! Super easy Super cute!!!

 

     




<<<<<
What you will need is.
Tights (ANY color)
Scissors
Chalk                                                                 >>>>>>>
          First: Try on your tights. With your chalk draw lines, mid-thigh.
           Draw a couple of lines on both sides of your thighs. BE SURE NOT TO MAKE THOSE LINES TOO HIGH.
They are called Mid-Thigh for a reason >.<
 




<<<<<<<<
Second: After drawing a few sample lines, go ahead and change out of your tights and begin to draw the rest of the lines around the tights.

                                                                 >>>>>>>>>
Kind of hard to tell but im showing you the seam of the tights. It's a reminder DO NOT DRAW ON OR CUT THE SEAM.
Doing so will ruin your tights completely.

                                       
<<<<<<<<<<
Tights should look like this when you're done
drawing the lines.


                                           >>>>>>>>>>        
   Third: Begin to cut the lines you drew.
<<<<<<<
Should look like this once you've cut a few lines.


                                                          >>>>>>>>>>> Then, it should look like this once you are done cutting all the lines around your tights.                              

              
<<<<<<
Fourth: Grab one sting
                                       >>>>>>>>
Fifth: Pull string. (This will roll up the material nice and tight. To make the rips look clean).
 <<<<<<<<
Sixth:An easier way to tighten the material is grab them all at once and pull them in the opposite direction.

                 >>>>>>>>>
After all that pulling your tights are done. And should now look this this.


*If a string rips in half you can rip it out completely or just tie it back together in a cute bow for a little something extra.

Word of advice when putting the tights on, is put them on slowly and carefully. Not to stick your toes or whole foot through a hole it will cause the hole to tear even bigger. I almost did that when putting them on. Can you blame me i was so excited to see the end result.
                                                         

Ohhh, and don't worry about the tights ripping more like when you sit or anything. I was thinking the same thing to myself. "What if when i sit and they rip, or even worse if i have to pick up something from the floor. I'm screwed!" No you're good (: I tested them out. Unless you have really thin tights. Might be a different story with those.
