People will think you are one bad-ass quadriplegic. [ Krupple's advice column | Ask Krupple A Question ]
Place a block of wood (or some other solid surface that you don't mind possibly damaging) within the pant leg or denim region you want to distress.
Rub a steak knife or cheese grater vertically or horizontally against the area of denim that you would like to distress. Rub gently for mild distress; rub longer and more vigorously to create more visible distress (such as holes and tears). You could even cut holes if you really want to.
Fray jeans by rubbing sandpaper around pockets, knees, hemlines, or any other area of denim that you would like to have a soft, worn appearance.
Dampen a sponge with bleach and rub it around the outer edges of holes for a faded look.

I just used the blade and pushed it under each individual threadlike thing and it worked pretty good.
