STEPS
TOOLS
First your going to mark the outline of the rip you want to create
Then grabbing your nail file, I'm just using a foot one
See how worn down it is? This makes it easier to rip
Then taking your scissors
Your going to cut the top line of your markings

Then your going to cut a second line a little bit down from the first one
Then flipping the shorts inside out, your going to use your tweezers to locate a thread which runs horizontally. Pull on this thread till it comes out like this
See the threads? Sorry about the bad photo
Keep pulling out the threads till you have pulled out about 5-10
Then, taking your tweezers you are going to start pulling out the vertical threads, the ones with the frayed edges
Pretty jeweled tweezers
See what I'm doing?
Halfway there
Keep going until you have pulled them all out and you are left with horizontal threads
See!
Do the same again for the next section
Pulling first the horizontal threads
And then the rest
Done! I just did the one on the left, I had previously done the one on the right
Perfect👌
