I saw some fat chick at a show who had a demin jacket with magic markers and sharpie **** written all over it and it looked so gay.

[Shtein]

Well it was written all over it, so i dont deny that it looked horrible, but i was thinking Sharpie on the fabric.

[metty16]

I like fatties because I'm fat. :)

[pimpy the pirate]

i founda good way to make your own patches jus to clear everything up: get an image of what you want, paste it on microsoft word and make it how big you want it, then tape the cloth on a piece of paper and then print it out and the image will be on the cloth. I usually get the cloth from a pair of dickies pants that i snatch from the lost and found bin at my school

the DIY turned into the community thread

[Jessizzle]

So, My hair didnt turn out the way i wanted it too, so im thinking i should just re dye it, But my mom seems to think it hasnt been turning out because im over dyeing it, Is that possible? ( I use the Semi Perm Dye)

[Anarcho Poser]

Probably. One layer'll fade and stuff, plus dying it to much just isn't good for your hair, which I'm sure you knew anyway.

[asdf]

I finally started sewing the patches I made onto my jacket. I lost one of my patches, though, so that sort of brought me to a stop. I'm in no mood to re-make it, but I guess I have to.

Semi-Perm's can actually be good for your hair, a lot of them are really conditioning.

[bassisbest]

Can using soap make your hair fall out?

[Jessizzle]

Semi-Perm's can actually be good for your hair, a lot of them are really conditioning.
Yeah, I Use Semi's cause i know it wont really ruin my hair, But I figured out that i think it becasue i have so much dye from previous dyes still in my hair that the other dye wont set in enough, Casue i noticed that near the top is much brighter ( Roots maybe?) I think im gonna either bleach it.... or just let it grow out.

[metty16]

Can using soap make your hair fall out?

I heard that but I don't think thats true. If it is, it's one of those long term effects

Ugh When threads die its soo not cool.
So you can all look at my really cool headband/hairthingy i made!

hang on, wrong thread. that aint no diy shizzle.

i want a mohawk but ive got wavy hair...

[cheeser_1]

i want a mohawk but ive got wavy hair...
so do i. makes no difference. if you really need to, you can even straighten it with either some cheap hair straightener (or steal the expensive stuff, or whatever) or use a straightening iron (ebay one, they're not too expensive there).

[Jessizzle]

Cheap hair straighterns dont work at all, so its a waste of 30 bucks. I Used a regular iron( Clothes Iron) For the longest time, it works but kills your hair. Now i finally got a really good flat iron and its amazing, i can do my hair in 10 mins, It takes people on crap iron like an hour.

And if you have the money you can get it permently straightened.

[cheeser_1]

Cheap hair straighterns dont work at all, so its a waste of 30 bucks.
*shrug* i got mine for five bucks, and it works.

[Jessizzle]

Then you got a good deal, Mine was originally like 150$ but i got it off some place for 50 dolla.

[cheeser_1]

o.O


wow. awesome. to be fair, it isn't super great, it's not like my hair is silky smooth shimmering strands of straightened goodness. but it gets the curl out pretty well for at least 24 hours, and certainly works well enough to straighten and then put up in my mohawk.

[Jessizzle]

it's not like my hair is silky smooth shimmering strands of straightened goodness. .
Yeah, Mine is. haha And if i wanted to, it will stay straightend for almost a week, but i wash my hair so i have to end up doing it everyday still.

[cheeser_1]

that's bad for your hair. you should go about 5 days without washing it, at least.

according to me. but i'm no expert.

[Jessizzle]

I dont go a day without washing my hair, but because of that habbit it kills my color.

[Aus Rotten]

Yes, I'm aware that the bands aren't very punk. However, the whole thing is very DIY.

I dunno, a few people were talking about it a while back, dunno if they ever even came back to the forums though.

[theleftwinger17x]

what should i put on my jeans jacket keep in mind i ripped the sleeves off


Sleeves would be nice :)
seriously, do you have to ask? well, anyway, for the sake of being nice and appearing like i had something to say to this old post other than a sarcastic, barely witty one-liner, i would recommend a big f**king patch of your favorite punk band on the back. I just started a new jacket and right now i've got a big minor threat patch on the back (maybe not the most original, but i don't care. they're my favorite.) the jacket itself is a military jacket i got at a surplus store, and on the shoulders there are these little straps i covered with studs. sleeves i'm covering with patches, but you don't have to worry about those. On the front, on a pocket or something, i'm putting an upside down american flag and writing something like "American Pride?" over it. for you, i'd put alot of studs on it and write some good band names on with fabric paint or something. want a good idea in the form of a reference photo, i'd look at the casualties on their last cd, one of 'em has the same style of jacket you described. oh, try and be original though. i mean, alot of people have the same jackets themselves and similar patches, but try and do it slightly differently than others. think of something witty or cool. my jacket is similar to some, but i'm making it my own with little sarcastic political things allover it. there you go. oh, and to the kid with the turtles jacket, "tubular". ninja turtles were hardcore. no joke.

[white_riot]

look ten pages back exactly.

[Brain Toad]

**** link didnt copy right.

[Brain Toad]

I also make my own patches. The way I do this is I print out the image that I want from my computer onto some cardboard-ish material. Then I cut the image like a stencil and use fabric paint. Fabric paint pens work a lot better then just bottles of fabric paint, but they run out much faster.

Posted again. I should put it on the first page too.

[oitotheworld]

oo okay, thanks

I am the DIY thread's resident patch maker :thumb:

I still need to make my Johnny Cash patch, made the stencil. But I need to buy spray white paint, I only have black and don't feel like using a brush.

cheeser isnt hating homophobes just as bad as homophobes hating gays? no sarcasm just wondering
also
ive lined my jacket with plaid and made a kickas$ exploited patch out of cut up pants(denim) and a bleach pen

[IFlogMyMolly16]

I dont go a day without washing my hair, but because of that habbit it kills my color.
You should just shampoo every other day, and just use conditioner on the non-shampoo days. Trust me, I'm an expert.

[cheeser_1]

cheeser isnt hating homophobes just as bad as homophobes hating gays? no sarcasm just wondering i don't hate homophobes. i think they're idiots, and i hate the fact that they're ignorant tools of social control and all that bullshit. but i value them, as people, no less than anyone else, and while i would not choose to associate with them and would attempt to educate and rebuke them, that doesn't mean i hate them.

on the other hand, that could still be a crock of ****, i'll admit that. fred phelps claims that converting, beating, and even killing gays is what god wants and that it is okay, because attacking or killing a gay person is a sign that you love them more than anyone else ever will. i'm not even kidding. (dont' know fred phelps? look him up, he's a whack-job.)

but there is a difference. judging people because of their sexual preferences is ridiculous. judging people because they are ignorant, violent, hurtful, negative people is a whole different matter, and that judgement seems warranted in some sense.
just use conditioner on the non-shampoo days.yes. great advice, for any kind of showering habits. if you're in there, you may as well condition it. conditioner is almost never bad for your hair, no matter how frequently you use it. i shower once or twice a week, but i only wash my hair once a month, at the most. but i try to condition it every time.

[white_riot]

I still need to make my Johnny Cash patch, made the stencil. But I need to buy spray white paint, I only have black and don't feel like using a brush.

There is this store where i live and they sell spray paint for really cheap but you have to be over 18, its so pathetic. I had to go and buy some at this other store and it was more expensive. That pissed me off.

[Flagjacket]

Here, you can buy spray paint at Dollar General. Except every time I go there, I seem to get kicked out one way or another.

[Brain Toad]

I meant spray fabric paint, dont need to be 18 to buy that.

[Rise Me Up]

Why do you have to be 18 to pay spraypaint anyway?

[Brain Toad]

Prevent tagging and/or huffing

Oh,I've never bben asked about buying it before,but it may vary from state to state.

Well I could buy it at one place but not the other.

does it hold up in the wash?

[Brain Toad]

does it hold up in the wash?

Haven't tried it on anything, but I don't wash my jacket per-se. I get those little dryer sheets that lets you dry clean at home and clean it that way. Prevents rusting on the studs and the washing machine from violently ripping patches off.

*nod*

i found alot of nice clothes in the trash this year (ever year everybody but the foreign kids and poor kids like me move home). i was thinking today of what i could do to jazz them up. not that i'd necessarily need to wash these clothes alot, i don't approve of excessive cleanliness. but i'm sure i'll figure something out.

[oitotheworld]

[like the other guy i think it would be cool to have diy shorts, may be ill do that]
I got a pair of dickies shorts becuase they are the cheepest ones i could find. I ripped off all the dickies logos, then put on my patches. I got the loose fit by accident though whcih are huge, so i ended up sewing them a little and now they look better. i'm trying to find some zippers to put on them too.

[oitotheworld]

okay i give up... how the hell do you quote stuff? :confused:

I bet I hate them more than you :p

Because of them:
My dad had to close his own store, which was his dream
My town has no small businesses
We are failing

And now they are putting in a super center a few miles away in the next town, which is tiny, probably about a 10,000 pop. This will close ours, Buuuuut, they are trying to put a super center here, 5 miles away from the other one, on the same road! Luckily our city is not letting them. They are also trying to put a supercenter in nearly every city in my county (which is 7 cities)

Oh, I loathe them.

[SantaDuJuan]

Wow, that's suckness to the max.
I bought a jean jacket from them once.
It was cheap.

[cheeser_1]

the problem is that it costs you more, you just don't see it because you think you're getting great deals every day.

[SantaDuJuan]

Yeah, but I liked the jacket.

[Brain Toad]

Back to the topic of DIY. I found a cheap denim vest online. I will probably order it soon and start work on customising it, since it is getting too hot for my jacket.

Do you just put patches on your jacket or do you paint it.

[Brain Toad]

Do you just put patches on your jacket or do you paint it.

My current jacket has mostly patches. I did paint a checkerboard strip on the back, and I have a few studs on the coller and shoulder strap things.

[cheeser_1]

guerilla gardening
i don't know what that is, but i want to do it.

[Surf Q. Hardcore]

my jacket is mostly patches apart from the huge bad religion cross on the back, that was origionally on a tshirt that i shrunk, so instead of trowing it away i sewed it on my jacket

also theres a huge rip, from when i feel out of a tree, that i fastened up with resistors treaded through and soldered together on the back, looks like its stiched up with crome wire and restistors

this has been answered a thousand times before proably, but what would you use to paint on a denim jacket?

[Surf Q. Hardcore]

this kinds kinda stupid but last patch i made a made it out of denim and i have no fabric paint so, i covered it in duct tape, cut out the design with a knife and filled it in with enamel (model) paint, leave to dry and peel off the duct tape it worked really well for mine

[Brain Toad]

this has been answered a thousand times before proably, but what would you use to paint on a denim jacket?

Fabric paint? I'm not sure. That will probably work.

My current jacket is a military style coat, but I used fabric paint, and sharpies.

[PFJ]

Because of them:
My dad had to close his own store, which was his dream

Whoa, I didn't even think about stuff like that. That sucks, I guess I'll actually start buying clothes from smaller shops and more small shops. Thanks, thats made me think a lot about some stuff.


EDIT: " My current jacket is a military style coat" where do you get those without paying too much?

[Brain Toad]

I got mine at Target, on clearance for $7. There isn't many of those left. You can get actual military jackets from most surplus stores.

[oitotheworld]

not trying to be a smartass, but whats the difference between target and walmart? I don't live near and big stores like that so i don't buy from them anyway, but i just didn't know which stores are worth staying away from

[IFlogMyMolly16]

They are basically the same thing in that sense.

Target has cuter purses though...

[Brain Toad]

There are similar and different.

Both are discounted department stores, meaning their prices are lower than say Sears and such.

The main difference is that Wal Mart drives down their prices to so low no one can compete with them, therefore driving out other business and destroying local economy.

What I've noticed with Target is they keep their prices low, but not so low they are killing competition, smart enough to keep the prices low, dumb enough not to lower them more. They also clearance a LOT of things, so you can get stuff really cheap, like with my jacket.

I've never the negative effects of a Wal Mart happen to a town where a Target is.

What about K-mart? Or maybe Marshalls?

[Brain Toad]

K-Mart, I don't bother with K-Mart myself. Not because of corporate evilness, because the stores are usually really disgusting, unkempt, and the people unpleasant.

And Marshall's I think is only clothes, not sure though, never really been to the one here.

[TheNowhereman42]

i don't know what that is, but i want to do it.

You just get bored and decide to go get some vegitable seeds and plant gardens on peoples roofs, tain embankments, cracks in the concrete, ect, and then you go water them every couple of days. Then some unkowing guy comes across them, and picks the say, tomatoes, and now he's not only not contributing to capitalism, but getting some good, organic, pesticide free food.

Or you do it near you so you always have your own vegitables, I have gardens on a bunch of the roofs near my house, and no one ever notices, so I just use them for myself, I sneak onto people's roofs to water my plants.

[IFlogMyMolly16]

That's kinda cute.

I found an old denim jacket from the 80's in the back of our hall closet and ripped off the sleves. Thats how I got my vest.

i thought i would throw in my insignificant story since this thread seems to be turning into that. cum...sex...****ing........studs.....leather jackets.....

[Scabies]

I still need some advice on DIY gigs innit.

[Biscuit_box]

:lol: Genius!
I'm going to buy a jacket and cover it in patches etc...
I know this is probably been asked/dealt with alot but what is the best kind of jacket to use. I'm not to worried about the jacket itself, i just want something easy to put patches on!

[Flagjacket]

I don't have one, but I'd imagine it'd probably be a denim one, since that seems like it'd be easiest to pierce.

[Brain Toad]

Denim is thick, but easier to pierce then leather. Military style is the easiet, but usually the more pricer and harder to find.

The city I used to live in had a Wal-Mart and Target right next to each other.

Also, having a Wal-Mart doesn't kill the local economy. If the prices are so much lower, than people will use the money they save and buy things from other stores. Either way, it is good for the consumer.

Try putting cotton underneath your strings. This is just a guess, I don't know guitar(I'm a drummer).

Might be the pedal or pickups as well.

If they can get it from Wal Mart, they don't bother going to other stores and buying stuff, killing the small business man. And its not good for the consumer, because as they drive their prices down, they demand the manufacturers to make things cheaper, so they can sell them cheaper, so you end up getting a shotty product. And less competition is horrible for the consumer, because once a monopoly is established, they can start raising prices, and since there is no alternatives, you are faced to pay more.

It pays to pay attention in Economics class.

[Flagjacket]

There is a Wal Mart in ever neighboring town of mine. If they ever try any funny stuff like building a Wal Mart near my area, I'm going to get a petition going. If that fails, I guess construction sabotage it is.

so my friend Derrik got a backpatch, sewed it to a big peice of white fabric, and sewed a zipper on the top to make himself a DIY butt flap/fanny pack. Its pretty handy, but I never really got into the whole hanging a back patch off your belt thing myself.

[Flagjacket]

I never really got the point of a butt flap.

and i my friend said cum is good for putting up a mohawk anyone else heard that?

[SactoUnited]

Who would want to?

[UndergroundBassist]

This guy considers himself the god of masturbation.he loves everything about it and he wouldn't pass up the chance to brag about something he learned about what could be done with cum.

[Brain Toad]

I just ordered things to start my next DIY project.

Ordered this: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?p=WX2&i=53140
A denim vest

I also ordered a Clockwork Orange droog sillouette backpatch along with a 2-Tone button and a Against Me! button to bump the order up to $5.00 I also have patches left over that didn't fit on my old jacket.

that's not really true. america = millions of poor, moderately obese people + 12 fat rich people and 4 saudis who control the entire country

can you easily put zippers on denim? i head somewhere that you shouldn't, either becuase it looks bad or its a pain

[Jessizzle]

Sewing anything to denim by hand is a pain.

[Rise Me Up]

Yeah my vest was hell.

[oitotheworld]

is it any better using a machine? i have one but i've never used it

[Rise Me Up]

Actually using a needle with a hole instead of the nail style isn't that bad.

[oitotheworld]

Well, I've said it before in this thread, so I'll just go dig up what I said before:

I also make my own patches. The way I do this is I print out the image that I want from my computer onto some cardboard-ish material. Then I cut the image like a stencil and use fabric paint. Fabric paint pens work a lot better then just bottles of fabric paint, but they run out much faster.
would using white out work for lack of fabric pens?

[Jessizzle]

is it any better using a machine? i have one but i've never used it
It works but i have found the machine got stuck at some points due to the thickness of the fabric.

[asdf]

would using white out work for lack of fabric pens?
I bet it washes off. You could try it, though. It seems like a waste of white out, to me.

I finally got a black shirt at goodwill. It's time for me to put a logo on that shirt. I think I have enough fabric paint to do it, but I'm not sure.

i don't have the piece that fell out. i like the duct tape idea though.

i was looking online, it says you can file it down very gently, i might try that, just to smooth it out. it seems fine otherwise - i didn't get to the inside part of the tooth.

i would try any diy dental work like filing, that sounds like it would hurt like hell if you screwed up. it depends on how bad it is, if its minor then leave it as is and since no inside parts of the tooth is showing you should be fine, just dont eat any rocks or anything

[IFlogMyMolly16]

I tihnk that's kind of a dumb statement, since in any given country there will be less rich people than average or low income families. It also depends on local standards and such. I'd also say that In America, everyone ****s over each other.

I think wild generalisations are dumb but that doesn't stop you making them.

[Flagjacket]

I don't think what I said was a generalization, since each country will have it's own standards for rich and poor, with rich usually being people holding a large amount of wealth, be it having a TV set and beds, or owning a 400 acre estate with a garage full of Maseratis.

I lack 2 patches to finish my vest. I was thinking of getting a c'ock sparrer one.

[Brain Toad]

I have a Sparrer one that I never got to put on my jacket, it will make its way onto my vest probably.

[Rise Me Up]

Are you sewing it yourself?

[Brain Toad]

More than likely. I had my mom sew the patches onto themselves to provide extra security on her machine. I may do what I did with my jacket and hand sew, and if they are too weak have my mom use her machine to reinforce, unless she wants to teach me how to use the thing.

[Rise Me Up]

I sewed my vest,but I had my first jacket sewn on at a store in town-it looks way better that way,obviously.

[Antimony///]

asking people what to put on yo'ur jacket is so not hardcore. Conformist!

my punk jacket is a black/neon green Ninja Turtles track jacket that i wear everyday. I'm so hardcore i don't need patches



Dude you so got that at hot topic... conformist...

And about mohawks... I need help too... my hair is really thick, and the hawk is about 2 inches wide. I was thinking it would be much better if I thinned it out?

It always curves to the left a bit... how do I slove this? straighteining doesnt do much, but hair gel on the tips (in a ddition to the spray) seemed to make it stick straighter.

Michaels can tell you a lot about diying your own shirts. Just buy some fabric paint for 99 cents and make a stencil.

On a differnt kind of DIY for ya kids.

I want to make something unique for my iPod as a cover for it.
I saw some sock covers for iPods but they were way to expensive.
So!
Here's the question, what should I do with it?

I'll post pictures tomorrow or something, even though the logo is for a band that is not punk at all.

Here's the question, what should I do with it?

Carefully craft a 'iSkin' from duct tape. But avoid sticking the tape directly to the iPod, instead make "Duct tape fabric" and create a pocket. To creat duct tape fabric:

Lay out about 3-4 strips of duct tape, sticky side out, horizontally. Place one down, then another on top, overlapping slightly. Continue with the rest. Then take more strips and lay them vertically over the horizontal ones , sticky side down. Do this until you have a crosst hatch thing of duct tape. This can be used to wrap around the iPod, cut where you need to cut, fit for size, and hold pieces together with duct tape.

[SantaDuJuan]

Thanks for the tip Mr.Mod.
But duck-tape isn't how this child wears his iPod.
I was thinking more a line of the sock idea.

[Brain Toad]

Find an old sock and put it inside and cut holes.

I may get my grandmother to do that.
But I might dye it a differnt color also.
Or just buy a colored sock.

I've seen little corchet holders for iPods, but that may be a bit queer for a black man like yourself.

I didn't make mine from scratch, but heres what i said a couple pages ago about them.
I got a pair of dickies shorts becuase they are the cheepest ones i could find. I ripped off all the dickies logos, then put on my patches. I got the loose fit by accident though whcih are huge, so i ended up sewing them a little and now they look better. i'm trying to find some zippers to put on them too.

you're in the wrong forum. but i think i can handle this one. i think you mean "pickguard." as far as i know, there is no difference.

however, there is such a thing as a "pickup cover," you might mean that. in that case, these:
http://www.guitar-repairs.com.au/whitepearlsplate.jpg
http://www.guitar-repairs.com.au/acousticsplate.jpg
are pickguards/scratchplates, and these:

It would look cute with a bow though.

I just finished sewing the first patch on my vest. 1 down, 7 to go. Have it all planned out, itll take awhile it's a bit harder to sew onto denim. Not sure if I'm doing any studs, don't know where to put them. Backpatch will be here sometime next week.

It's not for me, what kind of needle you using there?

[Brain Toad]

It's not for me, what kind of needle you using there?

A large one. I just take my time, because if I didn't I'd end up stabing the thing through my hand. The hardest parts are usually when I have to go through two layers of patch (I fold over and sew edges, well my mom does) and then the jacket.

You really have to do that, or watch the patch before you sew it on.

[Brain Toad]

I learned the hard away about not folding edges and not taking my time. My DK and Ramones patches on my regular jackets got destroyed after being washed in the washer. But I also don't wash stuff anymore, I 'dry clean' it. I can't wash my vest either, or itll shrink.

I've never ruined a patch by washing it.

I know this has probably been asked alot but what is the best stuff for spray painting an image on a t-shirt? I'm planning on constructing my bands name and logo with duct tape and spray painting the gaps which will in turn make the images come through. Or is there an easier way of doing it ?

It's the anti-fascism symbol. If you put it over the swastika it cancels it out. I'll try and find a link.

[cheeser_1]

yeah, the three lines stand for... i forget what. something, something, and that one other thing. you know.

[sketchyjoe]

It was used a lot in pre-war Germany by Socialists.

[cheeser_1]

Robb: You do use the circle three arrows as Inquisition* did previous that means liberty, equality and solidarity. Which means fighting against fascism of course.

Thomas: The anti-fascist circle has been around for a long time. We broke it out to emphasize the need for imagery in the underground, which would resonate with the resurgence of anti-corporate globalization activism present in the world. Fascism takes on many faces and we feel that keeping up the culture of resistance ideas and adding our small voice to it is a part of this hardcore punk rock than **** the IMF, and the G-8.
