I think all of us have experienced this problem at one time or another and its really frustrating!

I couldnt figure out what I was doing…after all, I was cutting them straight across.

What was the problem?

Well, this gal shows us what weve been doing wrong.

It would have never dawned on me to cut them at an angle like she does in her tutorial!

I was also happy to see how she frays them.

As much as we love denim cut-offsaka the summer stapletheyre not without their own set of problems.

In fact, shopping for them is almost as difficult as looking for that pair of perfect jeans.

Some arent high waisted enough; others are too low.

And why is it that nearly every pair of cut-offs weve come across are cut obscenely short?

Weve found that itsmucheasier to take matters into your own hands.

Ive seen people who actually use sand paper to fray their jean shorts!

Watch how she cuts these jeans off the correct way in her step by step tutorial.
