scotch tape rolled up works ok for big areas, but if you have fine detail sometimes it's too small to make little rolls and that's where double stick comes in handy. less time, too.

Would regular spray paint stay on a shirt for a long time?

Would regular spray paint stay on a shirt for a long time?

Apparently it depends what kind of paint it is and the background colour. That's what my screen printing teacher told me when I asked him about spraying. I sprayed blue Humbrol Just Spray on denim and it looks great and hasn't run, leaked or faded. The jacket is too small for me though so Im gonna give it to my godbrother.

The U.S. Bombs one is pretty basic, and unfortunately I rolled a little paint off of the stencil and onto the shirt. I'm pretty happy with the way the Operation Ivy one came out, though.

[asdf]

Definitely like the op ivy one.

[Brain Toad]

The Op Ivy one looks nice.
I don't think the little smudge on the US Bombs ruins it, adds a bit of character and a lot of fake stencil shirts have those marks anyway.

[asdf]

Yeah, I did that on my Residents shirt. No one really notices it, and it gives it that nice homemade look.

[time bomb]

does anyone have a white hat that they really like but because it's white you always get those nasty sweat stains in it, but you won't wash it because it will lose its shape? well here is something for you...instead of using bleach which will ruin the fibres in your hat and make it smell funky, apply a liberal amount of whitening mouthwash onto a cloth (ensure the mouthwash is clear in colour), and then rub the mouthwashy cloth over the sweat stained parts of the hat in question. make sure the mouthwash soakes in, but do not apply to much as that will result in the previously mentioned adverse effects. Leave the hat to completely dry out (about 20 mins with the correct amount of fluid) and you will be left with a brilliantly white, perfectly shaped hat which is also minty fresh

Okay, basically, doesn't that just break down to "Washing white hats with mouthwash works?" That's actually pretty cool though, washing stuff with mouthwash.

strange that this should come up, since just yesterday my friends noticed this giant sweat stain in our friend's hat. Unfortunately, the inside of the hat is red, so I don't think that this method will work. Still nice to know, and I'll try it sometime.

[Liebensaft]

That Op Ivy shirt is awesome.

[Brain Toad]

You could always get one of those hat washing cages at the store. They cost like 2 bucks at Big Lots. You just put it in there and throw it in the washer with your regular clothes. That's how I wash my hat, and I wear the thing every single day.

[Liebensaft]

[good rats]

Yesterday I drew up a simple AM! stencil. It just says Against Me! in that font they always use, and its going to have a pink or yellow, not sure yet, lightning bolt behind the Against Me! part.

Today or tomorrow I'm going to get some fabric paint and a black t-shirt.

[Liebensaft]

I'd go with the pink.

So one of my friends and I spray painted the hood of his car into a brickwork design. Almost photoreal looking, but still looks handsprayed. I should have pictures in the next few days.

I dont really make them, but you could try getting a bit of fabric, like..canvas kinda material, a stencil and fabric paint. Thats what my friend does anyway.

It's about $160, I think.

Go on ebay, I got mine for 30 bucks there. Then get the studs off studsandspikes.com. Studding jackets is easy. I used a steak knife to make the holes.

Just go to a thrift store, and if they don't have any come back another day. My friend found a really nice, hardly used one for $45 that was almost like new.

[ratsinthecity403]

how would you recomend making patches. Im talking like, the printed kind, not the embroidered ones.
so if you want to make a limited number of patches, like just enoufgh for you and friends, I'd reccomend doing it the traditional DIY patches, way, that is get a sencil and some fabric paint, and make patches. You should be able to find a number of instructions to that scrolling back through the posts on this thread.
Now if you want to make a bigger number, say for a band, then go with silkscreening. Since sikscreening is kind of complicated, you can email me if you need more instructions. But be warned it will cost about $30-40 (I think) to get started. of course, then you don't need to buy anything more for a long time.

cavas, where I go it's called 'duck cloth' or something. heavier fabric has wroked better for me; less cracking if you use a thick paint. Denim is dyed in a way that it gets ligher if you wash it a lot, too.

Well I've made a belt by weaving pop/beer tops together with shoelace-like strings. It works better as a necklace, but it makes a pretty interesting belt.

Could also make a duct tape belt.

My only belt is a cloth strip with two metal d rings at one end, and you somehow weave the strip through those to make it stay. It came with a pair of pants from TJ Maxx.

My jacket was pretty smelly, so I went and got my cleaning stuff today and finally remembered to keep the package so I could tell you guys about it. This stuff is great for washing your jackets without fading or destruction from the washer aggetator. It's called Dry Cleaner's Secret and it's a little sheet you put with your jacket in the dryer and just turn it on and it cleans it. Here's a website.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback! :thumb:

As long as I'm on the DIY thread, I'll tell you how to make some lovely mulled cider. I just discovered the perfect formula. I used Blackthorn cider, and put a pint (measured from a pint glass) in a pan. Set it on heat and sprinkled some cinammon into it (we don't have cinnamon sticks, those would be better). I put a clove in it, two if you like it spicier, and two slices of orange. Stir it every thirty seconds or so, and once it starts boiling, put a spoonful of brown sugar in it and stir it in. Then turn off the heat, pour it in the pint glass (make sure the glass is not cold, or it will probably crack, my first one did =P) and drink away. It is extremely satisfying, especially here, where it just snowed. And it took me like three minutes to make. Enjoy.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/AndrewsAlbum/HPIM1219.jpg

And my vest. Keep in mind, this was like two years ago. The Misfits was paintes freehand, the rest are patches:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/AndrewsAlbum/HPIM1221.jpg

However, the vocalist of my band, Ryan, is killer at stencils. He doesn't have contrasted images to work with; he uses normal pictures, like from newpapers and such. One of our band's shirt designs:

..so today i found my leather vest thing, from about 2 years ago (when i was going through a faze in which i thought i was pUnK RaWk)..anyway, i do realize that most of the bands on my jacket suck, but overall i thought i did a pretty good job, here are some bad photos i took of it. and is there a place i can sell this jacket?

Excellent job on the leather, came out looking awesome! Both of those stenciled shirts, especially from what I could make out of the Amebix shirt, look f'ucking killer! The denim is nice, but i'm not a fan of using markers/fabric markers on denims, but none-the-less, good work!

Leather:

Don't take offense, but I think your leather is not up to par. It looks very, very cheaply made, like you sat down blind-folded and just wrote band names on your leather. Your denim as well, personally speaking here, looks cheaply made. As I said, i'm not a fan of using... what looks like pen(?) on your denim, and using two crooked patches. It just looks very cheaply made.

Overall, i'm not Punk Police Officer, but I think you should spend more time on your jacket. I'm not saying i'm a DIY Jacket Van Gogh here, but put more effort into your jacket. It's the first thing people see at shows, and the first impression people get of you really. The purpose of the jacket is to stand out, and represent what bands you like. Furthermore, it symbolically represents who you are. With "**** Sparrer" written completely unevenly and probably in red nail polish, it just makes you look very cheap, and in my opinion idiotic. D.I.Y. is not an excuse for making something look s'hitty!

He's right. Just because its DIY, you shouldnt have some really lame jacket that, if made to look good would actually get people to notice it for a good reason rather then "Hey dude, look much that jacket sucks"

I enjoy on improving on my DIY skills such as stenciling and sewing. I don't think I could ever bring myself to paint on a leather jacket, though. They're very expensive, and then you can't sell it. Besides, my leather jacket is actually still technically my mom's, so it's not up to me to ruin it.


Anyway, if I were to make this stencil:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/copy.jpg
Would anyone recognize it at Jack Terricloth from World/Inferno Friendship Society?

[Shtein]

If you made it exactly like it then yes, but if you do a hack job at stenciling then no.

[asdf]

I'm pretty good at stenciling, so it would look like that.

Although it's kind of pointless for me to make it for two reasons:
I allready have a W/IFS shirt I made http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/worldinfernoinvert.jpg
No one in my city knows who W/IFS is, so I'd have to explain who he is all the time.

Still, I think it's a pretty good stencil and I want to use it.

[Liebensaft]

I shall.

[Liebensaft]

Feel free to use it.
I deeply appreciate the offer even if I probably won't use it. However if I were to make myself a W/IFS shirt, I'd probably use that stencil.

[dropkickstreetpunk2]

I was skeptical on making a jacket anyways. I don't care at all how it looks, it's just a jacket. I wasn't gonna spend a lot of time on it.

That's exactly why I'm not getting a leather to patch and paint on, I don't trust my skills. I'll stick to denim and fabric.

I just got a Dickies jacket for Christmas, but I'm not going to put patches or anything on it because it looks too nice, but I may put a couple buttons.

I got a hot topic jacket for christmas from my aunt. Doesn't really matter that it's from hot topic, I'm going to wear it. However, I'm not going to patch it all up, either. I have one jacket that the patches are dedicated to, and after that I pretty much make shirts or patches by reqest/payment from friends.

I have a button maker, but haven't used it in quite a while. I should pull that out sometime.

This is my first stenciled t-shirt its not that great(its very blotchy)...

You should put the Terricloth stencil on the back of your WI/FS shirt.

I made a shirt recently, using spray paint. And no matter what I do it wont stop reeking of spraypaint, I don't minda lil smell, but it is REALLY bad. I was wondering if there was a way to permenantly get the smell out?

How much spray did you use? What you should do is spray it really lightly, then wait half an hour til it dries (or however long it takes psray paint to dry), then another light layer, and that should be enough.

How do you cut out stencils?

[Skape_Goat]

How do you cut out stencils?


Use either a razor or an exacto knife. Theres other things you could use, probably like a really sharp knife, but a razor of some sorts is really the easiest to use.

[Brain Toad]

Xacto knives are wonderful, just make sure it's sharp.

[holy_roller99]

Xacto knives are wonderful, just make sure it's sharp.

agreed.

[Lukeh]

Argh, so far all I've used to cut out stencils is a pair of nail scissors as they're the sharpest things in the house, besides all the giant kitchen knives... There's nowhere around me that sells Xacto knives.
I really wouldn't recommend (sp?) using nail scissors at all, they're pretty accurate but it takes hours to cut out big stencils :upset:

Here's the result from my most recent stenciling

You don't have any craft or hobby shops around you? Most of those places sell them. I don't much about England and it's shops though.

In England I think they're called Stanley Knives. You can get them from any DIY shop like B&Q or Homebase.

Google searched stanley knives, those aren't exactly what X-actos are, but those would work as well.

I wonder if your Homebase is the same one the US used to have.

This is what I mean by X-acto: http://www.islandblue.com/prodimg/515.gif

[asdf]

What I use is sort of a stanley knife. The retractable kind. But we call it an x-acto. Whatever.

[coheneran]

No, exactoknives are different. I got one from a craft shop. But here it's called Heavy Duty Hobby Knife, because the English have no imagination. That's why we have juice called JustJuice and orange drink actually called Orange Drink. Everything else is imported. We have English locally made caramel bars (from Scotland) called Caramel.

[Brain Toad]

I call the retractable's box cutters, as that's what we use them for. Also call it the terrorist weapon since thats the knife of choice for would-be plane hijackers, or so the news says and thats why you can't bring one on board a plane.

I prefer the small X-acto because it's easier to manuever then box cutters.

[asdf]

Mine isn't exactly a box cutter (because we have one of those) because it's smaller. I find it very easy to use, and it's really handy because when the blade is dull, you just stap it and you have a new one.

Yeah, Xactos are way easier to manuever. I used to use a box cutter that I found laying around the house, but I got fed up with it and went out and bought an Xacto. Best decision of my life... Well, maybe not the best, but still a damn good one!

[Brain Toad]

I never had to buy one, since my dad used to build model cars, we had one lying around. We have tons of box cutters too because of all the damn shipments my dad gets.

How to make a Vaporizor:

How to make one: Get a lightbulb (prefferably 100watt) that is a screw-in (so you can fit a bottlecap snugly over it) and, very gently, using a hacksaw (or anything else that cuts metal) remove the top most spiral of the bulb, so that it's open. Then use scissors to cut the wires on the inside and with pliers remove the little lightbulb that's on the inside. If the inside is frosted (most are nowadays), pour a couple of spoonfulls of salt in there and shake it about, that should get it off. Rinse it out and repeat process if necessary. Get a bottle cap, screw it on and make two holes in it (I used a lit incense stick and applied pressure to melt the holes). Stick an empty pen casing inside the bigger hole (or whichever fits) and viola! Stick a couple of buds in there and vape that sh'it!

How to smoke one: Unscrew the cap and stick a few buds in there. Stick the cap back on and hold the bulb above a flame (I use a candle, it means I don't have to burn my thumb with a hot lighter) until it "smokes"(It doesn't actually smoke, it steams). When you can't see the bud through the hole anymore due to all the steam, toke until the steam is gone, then repeat. It will take a few minutes to hit you, but when it does, WOW.

i dont smoke anything myself, but my mates make beer-bongs, which i hear work quite well to enhance your stoner-experience, and does anyone outside of australia use bucket-bongs? they use air pressure to push the smoke up deeper into your lungs to give you a far more potent hit than your usual billy, im not quite sure how to do them myself, but if you consult "the falafel guide to getting wasted" by John Bermingham there is a detailed description.

I've done something similar soudning to this. It involved cutting up a 2-liter soda bottle and stuff.

Yeah, that's part of a bucket bong.

Hmm, the pictures are really small and I can't really tell how it's laid out. From what i've seen, i'm not a fan of 3/4 of the bands on the jacket, but, obviously you are, so who cares. :cool: I'd say just take some bigger pictures and repost them, but from what i've seen, like I said, it doesn't look too shabby.

The pictures were really big at first, but stupid photobucket makes them small.

This may be a dumb sounding question considering the variety of answers to this question, but what kind of paint works on a leather jacket and WONT FLAKE OFF?
I've tried a acrylic pint with finisher sprayed over, but that flakes off if the paint is too thick. I've heard a latex paint, but I don't know where to buy one. I also would like to know if it comes out of paintbrushes well, and if you can dilute it with water to get more shades. I'm going to paint a voice of a generation skull so the getting shades is rather criticalto the jacket.

Allright, so I got bored today and realized that I don't really design my own stencils. So for practice I made one of myself. I don't think I'll ever use it (why would I need a stencil of myself?) but it still looks pretty cool.

Did you make the stencil with photoshop?

I made a pretty decent Woodie Guthrie stencil (I am trying to replace Che Guevara's stupid idolised face) with Photoshop, and there's a great tutorial on how to change a photo into a one-layered stencil:
http://www.stencilrevolution.com/tutorials/tutorialsview.php?id=4
The Woodie Guthrie one still needs a bit of work. Maybe if someone can play around with it until it looks OK?

Original: http://tinypic.com/jkvvjq.jpg

Stencil: http://tinypic.com/jkvvwk.jpg

I changed the stencil to .bmp from a .psd, because the site won't take them. It's openable with Photoshop, and if you don't have that, I can email/slsk you the full version of Photoshop 8, all cracked and purdy. Anyway, the problem with this stencil is that his ear can't be kept in there unless I draw an ugly line across his beautiful face, and when it's all down and sprayed, his hat looks like an afro. This is, of course, unacceptable.
Cheers,
Eran

Your tutorial linked me to a story about a millionare marrying a dolphin.

No, I didn't make my stencil in photoshop, I made it in macromedia flash. Thanks for the offer of photoshop, but I allready have it. Couldn't live without it.

Good stencil, but yeah, the ear is a bit of a dillema.

There's a link with BOTAR stencils that I mentioned earlier in the Streetlight thread, I'm not sure how finished some of them are but there's the basic shapes that can be easily fiddled around with if needs be. There's also a BTMI stencil there too. Enjoy.

In australia (sydney at least), a beer bong is when you replace the bong water with beer...usually with the filthy, disgusting intention of drinking it afterwards (as a bit of a novelty)

That's probably the dumbest thing I've heard in awhile. THC is alcohol soluble, therefore smoking weed from a bong with an alcoholic substance in it instead of water will only take away from the experience.

I agree, if people posted instructions on how to make awesome bongs for cheap that don't get aluminium into your body so it can solidify in your lungs, that would be constructive, but talking about how high you got from THC-soaked bongwater (eeew, I will post some recipes for you lazy bong freaks) is not constructive, it is annoying. Arguing isn't constructive either, so there, I said my bit. Goodboo.
