Answer #1

cut a tiny hole and then rip it accross with your hands

Answer #2

put on the jeans, take a key and scratch the jeans with the key where you want the hole to be

Answer #3

I say just go out a buy a pair of already ripped jeans they are worth the money plus they look a lot better for the most part they arent to expensize either.

Answer #4

well I used a grater and they came out like I bought them. :) but if you want an actual rip then dont use scizzors it comes out tooo perfect and people will know its fake use the grater where you want it then when its worn down cut it

Answer #5

if you want to create your own ripped jeans by a really cheap pair first [incase it goes wrong] then, get the sissors and start cutting. start at the knee. only make a small hole and then start ripping around it. remember not to make the holes too big.

Answer #6

a nailfile wont get you anywere sandpaper is good for ripping and shredding them you can also cut a hole in them then rip that or wait for it to fray a cheesegrater might work if you want lots of little holes in the same place tying them to a car and driving over a very rocky place fpr a while will also make them ripped the easiest thing for you to do though would be to cut a hole and then rip it because its simple
