Alexander Wang’s shredded chain jeans, via Style.com
First you’ll need to get ready:
Jeans cut to desired length, craft knife or Xacto scalpel, Jewellery precision pliers, chains of different width, Eyelet set (Pliers, eyelets)

Use the craft blade to slice a section, then scrape down. Putting a cutting board under the jeans helps.
Make some shredded holes further up.; Make a series of eyelet holes near the shredded holes for chains to pass through.
Pass chains through eyelets and hook. Repeat few more times and the same for other leg.

A few tips:
- You could shred the bottom of your jeans – or like Wang’s it could be left as it is. Since I cut my long jeans anyway, I shredded the bottom.
- Mix fine chain with chunky chains for more texture
- Keep a vacuum cleaner ready for all the jean-dust!
Good luck!
