How to Make Holes in Your Jeans Without Sand Paper
Sandpaper isn't easy to make a hole in denim with; it's actually painstaking and difficult, not to mention time consuming. It's also unnecessary. There is one very easy and simple way to cut holes in any pair of jeans or cut-off shorts you choose and there won't be any sandpaper in sight. If you want to distress your jeans, after you put holes in them, rubbing sandpaper against pocket edges and hem lines will make denim look worn-in. This use for sandpaper on denim is much easier and faster.

Tips & Warnings
Always make a cut a bit smaller and shorter than you want it to be. Repeated washing will make the hole or cut slightly bigger.
