EMBELLISHED Jeans transformation

I found a pair of Levi jeans my brother stopped using and I couldn't let them go to waste. So I started thinking, "What can I do with them?" and this is what I came up with.

Step one

I started off by cutting them short, since they were pretty long for me. I did my best, but they aren't done very well and the two sides aren't exactly identical. I would recommend trying them on first and make a mark at the length you want to cut it.

step two

Since I wanted to add something to make them fun and different​, I decided on some tassel trim. (which you can find at a haberdashery or craft store) What I did was cut a piece and glue it on each leg of the pair of jeans. 

Adding tassel trimmings completely changed the way the jeans looked and gave them a whole new life. I am now wearing them very often and enjoy them a lot. 
​​​I hope you try this, and if you do please share it with me by tagging me on Instagram (@thefashionthrowaways) or by using the hashtag #FashionThrowaway.  I would love to see your creations and outfits. 
Love,
Silvia

UPDATE: I was recently looking at https://www.net-a-porter.com/it/en/ and found a pair of Marc Jacobs SS18 embellished jeans that looked fairly similar to this DIY. Making them yourself can save money and help the environment, while still being fashionable. They also sell a jean jacket version that you can make following my other tutorial on denim jackets (you can also follow the same steps as the jeans).
