How to make it yourself
Boiled jeans can be easily made by yourself. To do this you will need:
- a capacious container - a bucket, saucepan or basin;
- water and bleach;
- wooden stick or spatula;
- clothespins, elastic bands.
Before boiling, you should roll up the clothes and tie them in this position using the prepared fasteners. You should not roll the product too tightly, as you may not get enough stains at the end. The format of the patterns depends on how the jeans are rolled up. Jeans rolled into a tubular shape most often get vertical stains. If they are folded in layers, which are fixed with clothespins, you can see horizontal patterns on the fabric at the end:
- you need to fill the prepared container with water and bring it to a boil on the stove;
- as soon as the water starts to boil, add 100 ml of bleach and stir the resulting mixture thoroughly;
- Place the jeans prepared for processing in the solution. It is important to monitor the cooking process to keep the product completely under water. For this, you will need a wooden stick;
- when visible results of cooking appear, the product should be removed from the water and placed under a cold stream;
- After washing, you need to remove the rubber bands and dry the clothes.
If after 15-20 minutes of boiling the jeans do not change their color and texture, you should add more bleach and continue processing. But do not rush to boil the clothes again if, in your opinion, the result is too dark - wait until the washed jeans dry, since wet fabric always looks darker.
As a precaution, it is necessary to use a gauze bandage when working with the product.
When boiling clothes in bleach, a large amount of caustic fumes appears in the air. If possible, use a respirator. Also, do not forget about rubber gloves. When boiling the product, make sure that all the windows and vents in the house are open.
