Why Buy...

Lately I have been seeing amazing jumpers (sweaters) with a fun, little accent; rips on the back! So I thought to myself, "hey I can do that"! I mean why buy something when you can make it yourself? So I decided to take on this DIY project.



Make sure you're using a sweater made out of material that is easy to deal with, like cotton. Have sharpened scissors and a fresh, new razor ready.

Begin making rips starting from left to right. For a neater look, make a uniformed pattern. I wanted a more rugged look so I did not implement a pattern. 
If any of your rips are too large just go back in with needle and matching thread and make the holes smaller. 

Voila! Now you have a fun, edgy sweater that will look great on jeans, leggings, and skirts!
