I think of making a shirt for the Scottish Games in September.

Ideally I'd like to make a stencil of this flag (http://www.meridianmagazine.com/images/unicorn/flag_scot.gif) on the front.

But that may be hard, so I may just the St. Andrew's Cross flag (http://delkurt.e2blog.fr/photos/uncategorized/scotland20flag.jpg)

On the back will probably be the words "Scots Wha Hae (http://www.worldburnsclub.com/poems/translations/424.htm)" and maybe some words from the actual poem.

Sound like a good idea? Any suggestions?

I love the poem, and you could make the lion flag easy if you put in a bridge at each corner of the square.

[good rats]

You could probably make that flag in a two layer stencil.
A single layer would be easier. Just chuck in some bridge here and there and you're set.

I made a flyer for the Ghost Mice gig I'm organising, but tinypic would only take .tif and Photoshop won't let me change a .psd to a .bmp so all the colours are off and you can't make out details, but here it is:

http://i5.tinypic.com/11ug57q.jpg

Originally, the background was grayscaled and the three mice were in negative colours. GHOST MICE is supposed to be in green and the writing underneath was a brighter pink. If anyone knows how to convert .psd files into .bmp or .jpg files, please tell me.

[Liebensaft]

How about opening the picture in photoshop and then saving it as a .jpg?

Gee, why didn't I think of that? It's so ingenius in it's simplicity.:rolleyes:

[SantaDuJuan]

The flyer didn't seem exciting to me.
Get some artist to draw something crazy.

Now it's dried, it looks really good i think.

[good rats]

Thats looks good angry balled fists.

I made some stickers tonight..ill get photos soon.

[mullets suk]

Does any one have any links to a file i can download to get stencil words on to my Microsoft works.(cheap version of microsoft word)

Also if some one has the link, what font size is the best to be used for a stencil. Im thinking of putting the lyrics on to the back. there are only about 10-15 lines. Its for the song Kill Your Television. ive finally got around to making the shirt.

[coheneran]

Go to stencilrevolutions, they've got some Fonts on there. My favourite is Crass or the Army one.

[good rats]

I finished my stickers before.

Maybe Ill put some photos up soon.

[ImAnIdiot]

Hey it's me...
Does anyone know what kinds of paints are good for stencils on t-shirts?

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I jst used Acrylic and it looks alright.

[Ghostfire3]

I've used fabric paint and that works pretty well.

[ImAnIdiot]

Thanks for the help!

PS the sky is falling!

I downloaded the stencil fonts from Stencil Rev. the thing is i cant use them. do i have to put them in any particular folder??

Thanks alot. I hopefully will have the shirt done by this weekend, if not then before Thursday. I'll post pics.

I've all ways wondered where you put font files.

srsly?

[SantaDuJuan]

Yeah, if you don't teach people how to do specific things on a computer people will never learn.

Unless you're a robot.

[guitar, bass, sax]

People need to stop using the Army stencil. I think I see that one used somewhere about twice a day. On TV commercials, to band ads, to the Home Depot logo, to posters...

Then that's a good thing, because if it's a recognised font that's used in a capitalist setting, people who recognise the font will see it on some stencil that says Capitalism Sucks (or something equally anti-estab) and it will catch their attention more. It's called subvertising.

I definitely need some practice with spraypaint. I also need some spray on adhesive.

Oi Eran, you coming to Finsbury Park tomorrow?

UK Subs free gig :)

[POINTLESS5448]

the shirt looks good as do those stickers.
asdf: you though you learned the hard way? bct learned the hard way. ill take pictures of it next time im at his house. he tried spraying his clockwork stencil on the back of this orange jacket and the white wasnt showing up so he just drenched it. destroyed the jacket... inside and out.

I'll delete this post in a couple of hours:

I was thinking of coming, but there's a protest tommorow evening which is too good to miss. If it turns out to be boring, however, I'll try and make it, though the protest starts at 7.30.

Yeesh, that really sucks :(

Yeah, the crappy stencil I did doesn't really matter, because I'm putting it on a wall in my basement, which is set up specifically for me to just do whatever I want. Some of its' been good, some of it is not, but it's all learning experience at this point.

[POINTLESS5448]

thats sweet. i have like 5 big *** ramps to tag all my **** on. not as cool as a wall, but whatev. me and brett are going to paint one all white and then put only the good stencils on it. when will that happen? probably never but who knows.

Ahah, we all have to start somewhere.

When you spray make sure you shake up the can REALLY well before you use it. And hold the can like...a foot or more away from the stencil..

If I've got nothing else to do today I'll make a video.

[mullets suk]

After i get done the stencil im doing now, i want to do a Joe Strummer shirt. Does anyone know where i can get a stencil of him. This is the best one i can find: http://www.stencilrevolution.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=49509&si=joe%20strummer

Should i just cut out the black parts same with stencil punks.

Also what does Bolivian flag have to do with joe strummer. Does it stand for freedom or something. The reason im asking is cause behind the picture i want to put that flag, cause ive seen it with him in every picture i have seen of him.

[coheneran]

Maybe he likes ayahuasca.

Try making your own stencil for it instead of finding one already made...

it's not that hard. Check the tutorials on SR. It helped me.

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

This is the stencil i made of Joe Strummer. Would you be able to tell that it was him??

How do you cut out detailed stuff. like really tight lines, and sharp curves. I ended up using a thumb tack and pressing holes, so there are tiny little rips.

Also im using that freezer paper as suggested on Stencil Punks. i was wondering, can you re-use it. cause i want to test it, but i wont if i can only use it once.

[Jon]

Oi Eran did you go in the end?

I was blacked out for 3 1/2 hours, but the second the Subs came on I jumped up, ran past the paramedics and got to the stage just in time.

Please PLEASE let me know of any more punk festivals/anomolies, that was the most fun I've had in ages (what I remember of it anyway)

No, I had a shitty protest to go to. I didn't know it was gonna be shitty until I got there though.

[Jon]

I drank too much and the sun was beating down too hard and whatnot.

lol.

But yeah, you HAVE to inform me about these punk things, it made such a nice change from going clubbing.

Yea that looks pretty good.

What did you use to cut it? The sharper the blade you use, the easier and more detailed you can make the stencil. Go to an art store and look for an X-acto blade.

the last one is dark. get over it. i dont have good lighting in my room.
it isnt the best shirt ive made but it came out alright. the words didnt stay down when i was spraying but the underspray wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be when i was doing it.

[Ghostfire3]

Looks pretty cool.

[good rats]

Thats pretty good pointless.

So did you just use normal spray paint on it...? Or some kind of spray fabric paint?

[POINTLESS5448]

its just normal spraypaint. i used a different brand thought because my mom bought it for me. it didnt come off my hands as fast as the one i usually use does so im hoping that means it wont come off the shirt more.

[Jon]

Any ideas of how to get grass-stains out of my jeans without washing out the permanant marker and gold marker?

[coheneran]

Incorporate the stains into a new drawing. Usually, grass stains come out in a normal wash.

[Jon]

But so will my GBH stencil and Dead Boys lyrics :(

I guess I'll have to just write them on again.

I reckon i'm gonna make a new shirt soon.

[holy_roller99]

just got my Clit 45 patch on but i should work on my minor threat BUT i have no more white fabric paint and i need more colors. it is just so damn expensive but saves money in the long run

[mullets suk]

What did you use to cut it? The sharper the blade you use, the easier and more detailed you can make the stencil. Go to an art store and look for an X-acto blade.

Ive been using a thumb tack, poking holes in and tearing.

Im goin to color the back ground the colors of bolivia. will that ruin the look of having joe strummer on top??

[coheneran]

Ive been using a thumb tack, poking holes in and tearing.

Hahahaha. How crude.:p

[ratsinthecity403]

hmm...although this isn't entirey the place to ask, it's been a quesion on my mind.
When something says "$8.00ppd US" (or another dollar amount....) what exactly does ppd stand for and does it mean I have to include money for postage? I want to order something and don't know if $8 is enough...

[coheneran]

Definitely Post and Package. Maybe, Post and Package Due?

[Brain Toad]

PPD means postage paid, it's included in the price thats shown, you don't have to pay shipping.

[POINTLESS5448]

im making a new shirt. im not telling you guys about it yet though. its a suprise. its going to be soo good you dont understand.

[Ghostfire3]

Suspenseful!

[good rats]

Ive been using a thumb tack, poking holes in and tearing.

haha, defiantly go get an x-acto blade

[Brain Toad]

I dont know about anywhere else, but I got a set of x-acto-like knives, three types of handles plus a bunch different types of blades for 99 cents at a dollar store.

[mullets suk]

Im really close to completeing my Joe Strummer shirt. Just one question though. when using the freezer paper, and using a multi-layer stencil, will the freezer paper stick to the first layer of paint??

O yea, two thing. Freezer paper, for those who havent tried is THE best way to stencil. Also the X-acto blade is great, alot better then using a thumb tack.

[Brain Toad]

I love x-actos. Except it hurts like a bitch when the blade goes under your fingernail.

They cut duct tape really well, my latest DIY project was making a new duct tape bookmark since I lost my other one.

[good rats]

It won't stick if the first layer is completly dry..

[mullets suk]

What if i washed the shirt with the first layer completely dry. Then doesnt that make the shirt all clothy again?

[SantaDuJuan]

Guys, I'm thinking of making my DIY one word t-shirts.
Ex: http://www.jinx.com/scripts/details.asp?affid=-1&productID=267

im pretty sure thats the only thing on the shirt. nothing much to it.

Lol, it's "off the bat", not "back".:p

I think it's probably something like Block Type Write or something like that. I could be completely wrong though.

[mullets suk]

ok, so my Joe Strummer shirt went a little wrong. its not ruined just, unplanned. I got the front and the back mixed up. so everything that i wanted to be on the front is now on the back and a little bit to low.

Here’s my main problem. the front looks to blank. does any one know anything small that i can put over the front of the shirt over the heart. (like a crest)

[Rise Me Up]

You could put the Clash Star logo.

[Ghostfire3]

o ok, i thought the world went mad or something. But really whats somethin i can put on the front.

You could put the Clash Star logo.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Something like this except bigger:

http://www.angryyoungandpoor.com/store/pc/catalog/thumbs/ts/clashjefft.jpg

[POINTLESS5448]

just put "the clash". its simple, yet effective.

[SantaDuJuan]

any ways no one posted so. here is the finished shirt:

close up: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j73/h-drix/Picture002.jpg

if i do put something on the front ill put the clash star with joe stummers DoB and DoD. cause that would be the easiest thing to do, i think.

[coheneran]

Hey, not bad, it came out pretty good.

[Ghostfire3]

Yeah, that looks pretty cool.

Thanks alot, and yes thats the back. Its a little far down, so theres a good sized blank at the top.

Maybe im just a little to hard on myself, i dunno.

Nah, I think when anyone makes something they instantly notice what they did wrong.

[Shelvey]

Mhmm, that's one of the coolest I've seen done in a long time. I love it!

My friend just made a wicked Aquabats tshirt yesterday, and it's really trippy too.

[POINTLESS5448]

so. tonight has been quite the eventful night. remember that suprise i was talking about? its done and its awesome! its an op ivy shirt. but this isnt a regular op ivy shirt. i stepped it up on this one. from the front it looks like just a plain ol op ivy shirt:

but when you look at the back:
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d172/pointless5448/IMG_0513.jpg

Pics?

[ratsinthecity403]

I made some pins today and that was the extent of my DIY activties. I did seriously consider making a big banner (for no specific purpose other than it would be cool), but that idea died when I realized that: Probably About 6 Yards of Canvas x Cost = Not Happening.

Any tips on where to get, if not free, than cheap, sturdy material on which to paint/screenprint to make a banner?

http://i23.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/6c/f9/b6_1_b.JPG

I shall proceed to spray it all a base colour (black or silver or whatever I choose), and then stencil some stuffs on it.

With some Oi! compilation tapes it will then be a perfect accompaniment to sitting on the street in touristy parts of London photo-begging =D

Any ideas for colours or stencils or anything? I'm thinking GBH for starters, just because I have that done. Maybe the Exploited mohawk. Hmm.

[Skape_Goat]

Thats a sick *** boom box. I think it'd look better if you went with black, too.

[Jon]

I won't buy that actual one, because I'm broke, but that sort of thing; whatever's on eBay when I have the dosh.

Sketchers look cool, but they have no arch support and kill my feet if I walk in them for more than an hour or so. I have a pair lying around somewhere. I prefer my big sturdy comfy boots, even if it means I have to play football barefoot.

Those aren't sketchers. They probably have even worse arch support, though.

I have Hurley's, Chuck style, comfy as hell, had them for years, love them. Except they're black, not purple, and lo-tops =(

Here's a shirt with my band and Robocop (and lots of overspray).

[good rats]

So I wanted to make a quick back patch for my jacket with my old operation ivy stencil, black t-shirt fabric and white spray paint.

I knew people told me it was hard to spray white on black and they were so right. it's the biggest bitch to paint. But Im getting there. I'm just painting REALLY thick layers of paint on the shirt. It should be done soon and hopefully dry tomorrow morning.

[Danger Bird]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/BPMead007/dbjpeg.jpg

I might make this into a shirt. I kind of like that song, if you can't tell.

[ratsinthecity403]

Ok, I need a hell of a lot of paint. I think that as a project this summer, I'm going to make a huge banner to drop from somewhere downtown. So I don't want to pay for that much cloth and paint, because I think it can be done without spending a hundred dollars or so that it might cost. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could get cloth like canvas or sheets on which to paint for very cheap or free?
Also, same goes for paint although I think that it might be cheaper to make paint....I think it can be one with eggs or something, but I have no such experience. Also I want to do a more colorful & detailed banner than just black on white with a slogan; have it be actual artwork done by my friends and I. The paint will have to work well enough for multiple layers and stand to be rolled and unrolled multiple times. Waterproofing would be good but not a must...

One thing that could look cool, would be if you got a bunch of different sheets/blankets/etc from yard sales, and sort of sewed them together all patchwork-like, and put your text in bold black in front of it. To make a big one, fabric paint would obviously be expensive, so you could probably go with something where you can get more quantity, but it mightn't last as long as fabric paint would. Not sure what would work though.
As for waterproofing it, go to a camping store or something, and get some tent-waterproofing sealant. That would be my best guess.

What're you thinking about putting on the banner? Man, I totally wish I'd thought of this first. :)

[World Burns To Death]

they totally did that in that one clash video. :-/

[ratsinthecity403]

Thanks for the idea of having multiple colors for the background, that's really cool. I don't know quite what I'm going to put on it yet, I'm going to talk to the other kids that are going to be involved and we'll decide.

Ah crud, now I'm plagiarizing subliminally.

[ratsinthecity403]

It's not an uncommon thing for people to do.
It's technically called a banner drop, but when I've used that term around people who don't know what I'm talking about they think it means hurling the baner over the side, not hanging it up.

jodan did you recut that stencil or fix the old one which stencil?

i decided yesterday that im going to make 2 suits. one for prom and hte other for homecoming. for one of them im going to apprehend a white suit and do it like i did that shirt with wutang all over it in a bunch of different colors. for the second one im going to get 2 suits of different colors (im thinking black and yellow) and im going to cut them in half and sew them to eachother so half of the suit is black and the other half is yellow. it will take some doing but i think i can do it.

p.s: brett, where the hell are you? what country are you in?

[coheneran]

Amazon are completely evil. Buy off play.com instead.

[Sid Ramone]

hey i have a question,

im painting up a button down shirt for a costume (im dressing up as a zombie) and im wondering how would i apply the red paint so it looks like blood splatters?

thanx

[coheneran]

The best tactic would probably be to load up a paint brush heavily with the paint and then splatter it onto the shirt.

[Spenser]

The best tactic would probably be to load up a paint brush heavily with the paint and then splatter it onto the shirt.

Yes. Load the brush, then pull back the bristles with your thumb and let them snap back, splattering the paint on the shirt. I painted parts of my room in the same fashion. Also be sure to do this out side or with a good backdrop as it will probably get messy.

[coheneran]

But then the splatters will be long and thin, and won't look so much like blood splatter. I think it's better to just pull your army back and bring it forward (as if you were hammering a nail) to splash the paint onto the cloth. Probably best to experiment with different methods though and choose your favourite.

[Lukeh]

A long time ago I promised to post a load of the DIY stuff I'd been working on and now that I've got a camera back, I can now post them.

Lol, I've never even listened to an Aquabats song (knowingly), it was just the first band name to pop up when I was thinking about what the stencils are of. I guess I was just think in alphabetical order:p.

You haven't really explained why we shouldn't make band logos (not that I ever made a band logo, but I'm not against them if people want to flaunt their musical taste or have cool logos on their punkass jeans and jackets), you've just said that they are gay over and over again.

Sorry no free head here maybe you should try that in Oak Lawn or something

're just wasting time and the time of me with showing me thi predone ****.

And **** you I'll bitch all I want. People want to talk about being DIY but don't want to go all the way. How about you ****ing get a stenvil imahe yourself and then you posterize it yuour self and oh hey here's an idea get the whole ****ing concept yourself.

The original pic was this:

There are far too many bridges, but that was the least of my problems. As they're standing in the fore, mid and background the brightness on each member was different, so I had to copy each third of the pic to a different layer, make a different contrast/brightness setting to each one, then copy the result back into the original layer.

Well, at least it does not look as bad as this mouse riding a frog:

Does anyone know how to go about making shoes. it doesn’t seem all that hard. ill be using sandals as the bottom.

How would i go about A) getting the shoe shape correct B)make it durable.
is it all just guess and check??

most likely its going to turn out to look like chucks. Hopefully comfier. If i do start the project then i wont start until i start to like shoes over sandals, so i would like to be prepared for when i do start.

edit: I goin to start on some easy laid back shirts. right now ive just decided to do Dead Kennedy’s and The Clash. Hopefully it doesn’t turn in to anything to fancy and original.

It looks like Jamie's wearing a big diving helmet, haha. Awesome.

I need to make me some TKB stuff. I haven't stencilled in too long.

I'm making this stencil, and it is taking me ages to cut, and i don't think it's going to turn out too well. The lines are really thin.
