DIY Thread

[iam2000pounds]

k, so heres the shirt. im still not done, and the line on the bottom is what i am trying to get rid of. This is my first DIY shirt ever so, it really suks. ill post pics of the finished shirt, when im completely done and the line is gone.(if worse comes to worse, ill take some white paint and re-color the line.)

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j73/h-drix/Nimrodsmess.jpg

i made the stencils myself, so the circled A is very uneven. I also did the stencils on paper so i cant redo the images on a diffrent shirt. :(

on the back (if the line comes out) it will say "THE NIMRODS"

You could probably fix it with bleach since the shirt is white.

[mullets suk]

so the bleach pen didnt work. actully made it worse. it bleed to the other side. the last option i have is to color the black parts white using white fabric paint. im really pissed right now, cause if that dont work im goin to have to re-stencils the circle A and the three words. its not hard, but its a bitch to do. i may not even bother redoing it. ****

[Danger Bird]

Not to get you down any more, but you spelled "too" wrong.

[mullets suk]

:angry: :upset: danm

[AIRIC]

you just spelled damn wrong. are you kidding me? it's one 4 letter word.

[Ghostfire3]

I can only hope he did that on purpose in order to attempt some sort of joke. If it was, indeed, a joke then I say to you that grammar is no joke!

[Flagjacket]

Not to get you down any more, but you spelled "too" wrong.
Actually all his "to"s were right.

[ratsinthecity403]

when useing fabric paint does it mess it up if you go over it in diffrent colors. like let a blue dry, then paint over that with a red. so are there any ill effects of doing something like that.


I use silkscreen paint and do that kind of stuff all the time. I just let it dry first. It should work, but if you're extremely worried test it out on a scrap of fabric or something.

[Danger Bird]

How so?
Edit: to Flagjacket

[Flagjacket]

Read his post, they're all right.

[Danger Bird]

I still don't get it.

highlight which one of his to's should be a too.

I meant on the shirt. He wrote To lazy for anarchy.

hey next time mention that the shirt spelt wrong, i've been thinking you ment the post was spelt wrong. o well. im doing another shirt so it doesnt really matter. And i noticed that after i posted the pic. i feel so dumb,o well.

[the-UK-ska-scene]

The other day I bought £4 shorts from Tesco.
I made them into Defiance, Ohio shorts.
Win.

how do you get silkscreen paint? and how much does it cost?

[iam2000pounds]

how do you get silkscreen paint
At a store.

[Danger Bird]

All right, so I need a way to put something else on top of my PE shirt. I've got my Marley stencil on there in black, and I can't just spray the whole thing black with another colour on top because with spraypaint nothing shows up on top of black. Hmm... quite the sticky situation.

[DaveToopes]

Buy a new shirt so you don't look like a hippie.

[Danger Bird]

I'm not spending money on a new shirt, plus that would mean I wasted all the paint I used on mine. And the early Wailers made some great ska, Marley's not just for hippies.

[mullets suk]

how do you get silkscreen paint? and how much does it cost?

you can make iron on prints your self, you need to buy some sort of thing for it. im not sure how much it cost, but you print out an image from the interweb, and iron it on. they dont last that though so... yea. or you could just buy iron on shirts, dont know where though.

lastly dont double post. theres an edit button for a reason. some people can get really pissed for things like that.(generalizing that statement to the whole of the interweb)

[ratsinthecity403]

how do you get silkscreen paint? and how much does it cost?


You can get it online; I use 'speedball fabric ink'. But unless you plan to actually silkscreen and use a lot, you might as well get fabric paint. It's like 7-8$ for an 8 oz. container which lasts quite a while. Don't get plastic based ink or you'll be screwed because you need a whole expensive setup to use that stuff.

[BCT]

i am sorry about the double post my computer just does stupid crap so i did not think it posted at all and thanks for all the info but i am going to keep useing spray paint for a little while.

put a censored bar over the joint it should be fine for school or make some thing whith a huge black area in it to spary over it but that will probably turn out like carp

[AIRIC]

Carp the fish.

[Danger Bird]

For fabric painting shirts, is it better to buy the spray-on fabric dye or use liquid fabric paint and a roller?

[time bomb]

Ok, so i did something dumb and tried to decorate my skateboard using oil pastels and draw a picture of a burning match and ended up with a ****ty picture of something that looks nothing like a match at all...sooo, would anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of oil pastel off grip-tape without getting my deck too wet?

[Mannik]

Post a picture.

[time bomb]

no digital camera, sorry...but if i end up doing a good picture on it (using something smart like a stencil...:() once ive cleaned the crayon off, then ill scab a camera and post one....As if i want you to see (and laugh-at) my piss poor attempt at artwork anyway :P

[Mannik]

Haha no worries, I've done painfully shitty stuff on my griptape all too many times.

[Danger Bird]

I decided to just put some duct tape over the joint with "CENSORED" written on it.

[Brain Toad]

Hope you don't plan on washing that shirt then.

[Danger Bird]

Why not? Because the duct tape will melt? Bah, I'm only wearing it for PE, and the year's almost over.

[Brain Toad]

Duct tape will **** up in a washing machine.

[Rise Me Up]

He could just take it off, then reapply it before and after each wash.

[Danger Bird]

Tell you the truth, I could probably get away with not washing that shirt the rest of the year.

[Mannik]

Yeah, but with a different piece of tape every few times, it'd lose it's stickyness from being peeled off too often

[ratsinthecity403]

Watch out with the duct tape. If it's a hot day the glue may very well melt and get gross sticky duct tape stuff all over your shirt.

its 3 layers. it came out pretty well. im thinking about putting it on the back of my bright orange jacket.

[incubass]

^ dude that is sick.How did u do the layers?

[BCT]

^ dude that is sick.How did u do the layers?

I use a bootleg version of Photoshop I have to separate all the colors. I don’t know how to do it with any other program but if you have Photoshop you can change the contrast and brightness. i use put it in black and white by Desaturating the image frist. You increase the contrast and sometimes you have to darken the photo but most of the time you have to brighten it. Then use the select color range thing and separate highlights shadows and mids into different files and print them one at a time. Remember you have to keep all the image sizes the same on the new files before you paste the shadow layer or what ever in to it or the layers will not line up. go to http://www.stencilrevolution.com/tutorials/
for way better tutorials i suck at explaining things.

Finally, someone doing layered stencils. I'm going to start doing that soon (as soon as I have a reason to, really).

I'm excited because I'm going to stencilfy a wall in my basement for the fun of it.

[Danger Bird]

I did a 2 layer dead kennedys stencil. I'm special.

Tomorrow I'm gonna stitch round the letters, at the moment they're just attached by this hemming stuff which seems to do the job, but I wanna add stitching for decoration.

I'm gonna be making a Defiance, OH shirt in the same vain at some point this week probably...

[Danger Bird]

Heh, cool stuff.

[Brain Toad]

That shirt's pretty cool man.

I learned about The Great Cthulhu here on MX, then saw it on http://www.nothingnice.com

Do you even know what he is orginialy from?

Or even how to pronounce his name?

[Flagjacket]

He probably doesn't.

[Danger Bird]

You can't rightly pronounce it because our vocal chords can make such sounds.

And it's an HP Lovecraft character (god).

[Brain Toad]

Good. Putting him on something without knowing who he is is exactly the same thing as people who wear Che Guevera shirts.

[Danger Bird]

It's worse with Guevara. His image has been mass-marketed to ignorant people, when he himself was a communist.

And did you see those immigration protestors waving Guevara flags? rediculous.

[Flagjacket]

Che isn't even that great. He defeated Cuban dictatorship for like, four hours, and then started lining up people to be shot.

thanks man, u got some killer stuff up there. It must take a while to do.

[incubass]

Sry for the double post but what would i do for the target like circles in this rise against speaker. Cause if i cut out both black parts then its just going to be one big circle.Would i have to cut them all out and just place on the shirt or is there an easier way? Thanks.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i39/bassman727/riseagainstspeaker.jpg

[POINTLESS5448]

you can make little bridges that connect them to the main part. that would be better because then it would be 1 peice and sometimes if you just place them on the shirt they move while youre spraying them.

[incubass]

ok thanks dude

[Danger Bird]

Or you can do multiple stencils, one for each ring.

[mullets suk]

Or you can do multiple stencils, one for each ring.

if he does that then won't the circles move around like pointless said?? or are you talking about doing it diffrently?.

[Danger Bird]

No, you do each ring on a seperate sheet of paper, then spray each sheet of paper seperately.

[BCT]

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i39/bassman727/riseagainstspeaker.jpg

if you are going to do that it color i would do the black layer as the last one so you only have to make bridges on the top set of rings. another thing you can do is make bridges then tape the on top of the island so the i higher then the rest of the stencil and don't touch the thing you are sparying and the underspray should fill in the gap i have only done that once and it was by mistake but it should probaly work if you are careful when you spray it.

[the-UK-ska-scene]

the-uk-ska-scene: that shirt looks good as ****! what did you use? is that a logo for the band or did you make it up?

Cheers man :thumb: I used a stencil I'd originally gotten off the BTMI/ASOB board, I will find it and upload it when I get onto the other computer. However, that was just the iPod bit. the idea of the wire/fuse/spark/TNT I just made up. Also the lettering. I just kind of used the colours they like on their website (well the abundance of green and pink seems to work).

[POINTLESS5448]

did you use spraypaint or fabric paint or what?

[guitar, bass, sax]

I think it's kinda sad that if you google ASOB BTMI my myspace is one of the first links.

Yea I'm really starting to get into it. I just need to go hit some op shops and grab a heap of cheap vinyl, and get to a store to grab some paint, and something to cut my stencils out with.

how many layer is that and did you spray right on the vinyl. did you design the stincl yourself. i realy like the jacket but the face needs a little work but over all good job
That isn't actually a stencil because I have zero paint at the moment. It's just a print out from the computer I pasted on. I'm going to go and get more paint when I can and I'll actually spray some stencils onto the vinyl.

I like it. It's cool idea that I haven't seen before, don't know what you'll do with it though.
It will probably just end up in my room somewhere, it just looks cool. No real purpose.

That's pretty cool, but what the hell are you going to do with it?
Nothing. It was just something to do for 30 minutes.

ok this like my last question but what woulb be the easiest way to make like the breaking benjamin http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i39/bassman727/bb.jpg symbol. Because if i cut out the actual symbol it will just look like this http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i39/bassman727/bb1.jpg. thanks for the help im just an idiot.

[Danger Bird]

Cut out the black parts maybe?

[Liebensaft]

You're going to need to use one of the tutorials around somewhere for making that into a black and white image. Then you'll want to cut out the black part inside of the logo.

Duct Tape wallers are awesome, but usually can't hold more than a few bucks. Which if your true punx, that's too much room for you.


If the weather stays nice this week I'm going to finally spray paint the front of my backpack to cover up some old designs and duct tape residue and the maybe stencil this on there:

Spray adhesive works well an isn't expensive. Just make sure it's not permanant.

Spray Adhesive tends to work well, but wash your shirt before you wear it, if you decide to use it.

Double stick tape and cut it thin or put it on the back before you cut you the letters. Double stick tape is excellent

[incubass]

Ok thanks guys i don't know why i didn't think of spray adhesive.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Spray adhesive and get the permenant kind because it works way better but the trick is, you spray it, then let it sit for about thirty seconds before you put it on so it won't stay on. And spray the stencil, not the shirt, otherwise you get sticky spots all over.

[Liebensaft]

I made a wallet from Priority mail tape, which is usually free at the post office. Truly punx.

[Mannik]

That's pretty damn creative

[ratsinthecity403]

Wath out! Rubber cement dosen't work....It stays on the clothes even if you put it on the stencil and is visible even after you run them through the wash a couple of times.
Just a warning

[Mannik]

What the hell are you on about?

[ratsinthecity403]

If you try to use rubber cement to stick a stencil down to not get underspray...it would make more sense if it had got posted on pg. 280 of the DIY thread instead of 281

No, I could take one though. It's really nothing special. It's not as good as most of the tape wallets I've seen. I just took the tape and folded it onto itself so it wasn't sticky. Then I just made a wallet shape.:confused:

I'll take some pictures later.

And dude, happy birthday

[clash_hooligans]

Haha the skatepark is nothing to get excited about!
The people or the city? Both are pretty average.
I like Sydney, thinking of moving there next year...but maybe somewhere colder...

[Mannik]

Yeah I like Sydney, but it is still a fair drive from the Snowy Mountains or whatever. It beats Canberra, that's for sure, what a hole. We probably should stop going off the thread topic.

Oh, is that what he meant? Haha, now I don't know!

[Brain Toad]

I'm going to replace the Leftover Crack and Choking Victim patches on my jacket, since I'm no longer a big fan and they seem to be the biggest conversation grabber for people, and it'd be awkward having them ask me about them when I don't like them anymore.

Instead of buying new patches, I'm going to try my hand at making them. Stencilpunx had a nice 7 Seconds stencil I was going to use for one, but now the stencil part of the site doesn't work anymore :upset:

[Rise Me Up]

Dude, you could handle making your own 7 Seconds stencil with Irfan View...or mspaint.

[Brain Toad]

I'm also lazy.

And the new design of Stencilpunx sucks, especially that image option. Let's put 100+ images on one page.

I need something else to replace the other patch.

And white fabric paint.

[SantaDuJuan]

I want to make a stencil, but now since it's getting warmer I couldn't stencil on a jacket.
I should try a shirt and go crazy....

I just need to actually do it and stop being lazy.

[Iron Bug]

So today I got bored and made this. It isn't your usual DIY thing to make...but eh, who cares. I was bored.

Nice. I especially like the front of your vest because of the Stiff Little Fingers and Agnostic Front patches. Also the back of your jacket is cool.

[SantaDuJuan]

I was thinking about how I like jackies with just one large back patch and like a little one under or above it.
I think it's cooler.

But no disrespect.

Do a record thing red? Or do one of the layers red?

I'm sorry, I can't really get anything on the Search, how do you make patches/stickers with stencils? (Or can you show me the post that talks about it?)

For patches you can just cut out some cloth, paint your stencil on it, and sew/pin it on.

I got the new stencilpunx to work. I needed to turn on javascript.

Yeah my vest is going to have an ACO backpatch once I stop being lazy. My regular jacket has a Clockwork themed Lower Class Brats patch. I was weary of it since it's bright orange and my jacket is brown, but it looked fine.

Exellent. Absolutely excellent.

Right now I'm working on a stencil that doesn't mean anything to anyone but me, and local people that are older than me. It's this shirt for a theater in my town back in the 80's that my mom used to work at. She also designed the shirts. I own about 4 of the original shirts (although three of them were reject shirts because the screen-printer messed up) but since I wear them all the time, they're fading and peeling, so I don't want to ruin them. Instead, I'm going to make a stencil of the shirt and make a shirt. I will also make shirts for other people that used to work there, that no longer have their shirts. They'll be really thankful for it.

This is the old shirt: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/bijou.jpg

Depends where you spray it. If you're spraying shirts you shouldn't really use a normal spraypaint. You should get some fabric paint and use that.

If you're out on the street spraying stuff you should use spraypaint.

[Anarcho Poser]

Coincidentally, that's the exact same thing I use.

I've never used fabric paint but I'd use the liquid stuff and use a roller on it. The stencil on the shirt will probably come out cleaner and there wouldn't be any underspray. Just clean crisp lines.

This is just my opinion. Wait til asdf or someone else who uses fabric paint comes in here. THey'll give you a better answer.

[Anarcho Poser]

I use liquid paint and a little foam roller. Using the kind of roller you'd use to paint room probablty isn't such a good idea. I use something sort of like this (http://www.orientaltrading.com/otcweb/application?origin=page.jsp&.namespace=browse&event=link.externalProductDetails&categoryId=342679&BP=330&cm_mmc=Shopping.com-_-datafeed-_-datafeed-_-datafeed&sku=56/2902)

yea i trired white spraypaint on a black shirt and i had to use a lot so i wouldnt suggest it for white on black but on a white shirt, red and black spray paint work fairly well.

I have never used the spray stuff, but I kind of want to try it.

I use just fabric paint in a bottle and use a paintbrush to apply. I've also used a roller and it worked just as well.

Would white fabric paint show up on a black denim jacket? I'm thinking I'm doing the famous Minor Threat design really big on the back of the jacket then miscellaneous band logos all over, sort of like a leather jacket with no studs.

The fabric paint would probably take two coats to make it stand out better.

I stenciled the Trojan Records helmet onto this army vest thing that I'm making and that was white paint onto dark green and I had to use two coats. I keep meaning to stitch a Discharge back-patch to it but I'm too lazy and I also want to stencil the Conflict logo onto the top part of the back.

[coheneran]

I saw an awesome stencil in Israel of a spiderwoman: It was a sillhouette, and it was the upper body of a woman, with the lower body of a spider, ie. it was on four spidery legs, coming out at 90 degree angles from the centre of the end of her body. And she was holding two curved swords out in a fighting stance. It was bigger than a person, like as if it would be if she was real, and it was amazing!

I stenciled the Trojan Records helmet onto this army vest thing that I'm making and that was white paint onto dark green and I had to use two coats. I keep meaning to stitch a Discharge back-patch to it but I'm too lazy and I also want to stencil the Conflict logo onto the top part of the back.

i am going to try something like that but i do have studs and it is on an army jacket. besides the one patch that i bought fell apart and i need to replace it. gotta love DIY because everything comes out better quality.

I've only stenciled one shirt, but I used DecoArt So Soft Fabric Paint in Ultra White on a black shirt. I used a fabric brush with it. Would it come out better and easier with a roller? And what kind of roller?

i wanted to put the guy on the side but of course the shirt i chose was stitched together there so there would have been mad underspray if i did. it all came out pretty well. the little logo on the shoulder didnt come out that good. its got some pretty bad underspray. its cool though. im happy with it.

You are really good at DIY.

I made a shirt with the same thing, only white on black, and none of the stuff on the back.

Gah, that shitty paint store had no fabric paint, so I just bought a little roller. I have no idea where to get it now, I guess I'll have to wait until one of my parents drives down to Covington or something.

You don't have a Joann Fabrics or Michael's or something like that around you?

Try an Artstore or fabric store or something along those lines..?

walmart?

[Lukeh]

I remember it said somewhere that you get banned for suggesting/saying that you bought DIY materials from Walmart, that company is the epitome of all things anti-DIY, so yeah.
There's quite a few websites that sell fabric paint, but I'm not too sure how it is where you live. You can also make quite effective t-shirt paint by mixing the basic "fabric white" stuff that you can get a lot more commonly with any colour acrylic paint of your choice, and sometimes that can save you money too.

[POINTLESS5448]

i like walmart....

[Brain Toad]

WalMart is horrible, don't shop there for DIY.

Joann's rules, but I don't know if they are west coast only or not.

EDIT: They aren't

i shop for diy at home depot.

[Brain Toad]

I personally hate Home Depot, I prefer smaller hard ware stores, ones without barcodes and employees who know their ****. But it's not as bad as Wal Mart.

[POINTLESS5448]

whats wrong with employees that know their ****? home depot kicks ***. i love the smell of that place.
