Can you believe that this bouquet of flowers are 2 Can you believe that this bouquet of flowers are 2 weeks old?! If you haven’t heard of this penny hack before, it definitely works! Just drop a penny dated before 1981 into your water with fresh flower food, and your flowers will last much, much longer! I found a penny dated back to 1979 and it obviously works! It’s because the copper of the penny acts as a natural fungicide in the water! Pretty cool, huh?! 😉 Have a happy Thursday my friends!

Not only do they provide a warm cozy glow, but they repel mosquitoes too with the mosquito repellent pods built right into the string light strand! How cool is that?!
And they were super easy to install, as you can see here! All we did was install some wooden posts around our fire pit area and then attached the string lights to that. Easy Peasy! And the end result is so beautiful! I will definitely be spending a majority of my summer nights out here soaking it all in!

How to Cut Jeans

If you’re short and petite like me, then you’ve probably often wondered how to cut your jeans to get them to the correct length for you. I know I have.

But I have always been too scared to actually cut them and try it. I always figured I would ruin them or mess them up someway. However, I got brave this summer and decided to just go ahead and go for it.

And I am so glad I did because it actually didn’t end up being too bad! I thought it would be fun to share the whole process here with you too!

I am going to Haven Conference this year which is a conference for bloggers and influencers. If you’re going to a conference like Haven too, be sure to check out all my tips on what to bring to a blogging conference as well! And for the last night, they are doing a 90s dance party. So I needed a 90s outfit for it.

I found these specific jeans which I thought looked 90s related and thought I should just go for it and try it out. Keep on reading to see how it turned out for me!

How to Cut Jeans
See how long these are on me?!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Materials Needed to Cut Jeans:

  • Pair of Jeans that are too long
  • Sharp fabric scissors
  • Bobby Pins
  • Ruler
Long Jeans
Here are the jeans before I cut them. I will link the exact pair I got below. They are distressed 90s loose jeans so they are obviously perfect for a 90s party!

First Steps Before Cutting

The pair of jeans I got were a 90s style loose fitting distressed jean with a raw hem edge. I figured this was the perfect pair to try this idea out on since it already had a distressed edge.

I haven’t tried to cut any jeans with a hemmed edge yet so this was a great starting point for me. And I am only 5’1″ (as I mentioned in my previous post, What to Pack for the Beach). So this makes getting any jeans to fit me just right a challenge. Especially if there aren’t any petite sizes available.

These jeans only came in a regular size too so they were a great deal too long on me. The first thing I did before cutting my jeans were to just try them on in front of a full length mirror.

And then, looking in the mirror, I rolled the jeans up to the desired length. I just kind of eyeballed this.

Adding Bobby Pins to Jeans Before Cutting Them
I have my jeans rolled up and secured with the bobby pins here.

After I rolled them up to the desired length, I placed bobby pins on either side of the seam to secure it. I didn’t want them to roll back down as I was taking them off to cut them.

Cutting the Jeans

I carefully peeled the jeans off, being sure not to move the bobby pins around while doing so. After, I laid them out so I could see if they were even or not.

I measured using a ruler to make sure each side of the jean was even.

The first side was exactly 4 inches and the second side was slightly under. So I just readjusted the bobby pins on the second side to make it exactly 4 inches like the first side.

Jeans Rolled Up With Bobby Pins
You can see here how it is exactly 4 inches.

After making sure both sides are even, I used a pair of SHARP fabric scissors to cut. I actually ordered a new pair of scissors for this. I wanted to make sure they were super sharp since jeans can be pretty thick.

Then, I cut right above the fold and continued to go across as evenly as I could. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, you can go back after the initial cut and trim everything to make it even on both the front and back side of the jean.

Cutting my Blue Jeans
I will link the exact pair of fabric scissors I used below for you. They worked great!

Once you’ve cut both sides of the jeans, now you can distress the bottom edge to them even more. I just used the blade of the scissors and ran it back and forth along the hem line of the jeans.

Then, I used my fingers to gently pull a little more of the fabric apart. I wanted it to look like the hem of the original jeans. And I think I did a pretty good job! Especially for my first time!

Distressing the hem of the jeans
This is what it looks like without distressing.
Distressing the hem of the jeans
And after distressing the bottom hem a little more.

Well, what do you guys think of how they turned out?! I am pleasantly surprised seeing as how nervous I was to cut them originally.

They aren’t perfect, but you can’t really tell honestly. And I think the more I do this, the more comfortable I will become with it.

Finished Cut Jeans
All done and all styled for a 90s dance party!

Let me know what you think about this and if you’ve ever had to cut your jeans before too! Tell me I’m not the only shortie around here too!

      This was very good. I’ve found many pairs of long jeans in the petite and junior section. My petite friends and I just roll them up. Other times we just avoid the boot-cut jeans or purchase capris. But this does make it easier and more affordable instead of taking the pants to the seamstress. Excellent post.

    They turned out great! I am taller (5’7″) so typically I would have the opposite problem with finding jeans that aren’t as long as I would like them to be, especially when I’m wearing boots with a heel. Sometimes when my jeans go out of style for the bottoms I like to cut them into capris or shorts. Thanks for the tips!

    I plan on getting back into sewing soon so this is really inspiring me! Wee hint: If you want to make them look more distressed, use sandpaper. Put cardboard inside in the spots you want to create holes, sandpaper them and then cut with a razor blade to make the fraying look more natural.

Can you believe that this bouquet of flowers are 2 Can you believe that this bouquet of flowers are 2 weeks old?! If you haven’t heard of this penny hack before, it definitely works! Just drop a penny dated before 1981 into your water with fresh flower food, and your flowers will last much, much longer! I found a penny dated back to 1979 and it obviously works! It’s because the copper of the penny acts as a natural fungicide in the water! Pretty cool, huh?! 😉 Have a happy Thursday my friends!

Let’s make out outdoor space even cozier with @t Let’s make out outdoor space even cozier with @tikibrandproducts BiteFighter LED String Lights! Not only do they provide a warm cozy glow, but they repel mosquitoes too with the mosquito repellent pods built right into the string light strand! How cool is that?!
And they were super easy to install, as you can see here! All we did was install some wooden posts around our fire pit area and then attached the string lights to that. Easy Peasy! And the end result is so beautiful! I will definitely be spending a majority of my summer nights out here soaking it all in!
