DIY Thread

[coheneran]

Well, they were bought before Nike had bought out converse.

WHEN WAS THAT?!?

My grandma gave me a pair of converse shoes (they hurt like a mofo, no arch support) that didn't fit my uncle. I might cover them with anti-Nike signs now. Yeah, like, when I get off my lazy arse and so some DIY, it's been about 4 or 5 months since I last made anything!

[POINTLESS5448]

did vans get bought out by someone because old skools are like $40-45 now and they used to be no more than $20. i cant afford a new ****ing pair of old skools its bull.

since this is the diy thread i have spraypainted a pair of oldskools so i could wear them to school. they look pretty ****ty though. i also dyed my other pair from brown to black for the same reason. they looks cool as ****. ill post pics if you want.

[ibanezman575]

you go to private school eh?
i just got out

[mullets suk]

They're Chucks, dude. They're already like, 20 bucks.

Michigan has chucks for $20, thats insane. Either way i dont like them. i would rather get PFflyers (new balence). also those blackspotshoes look really sweet.

[Flagjacket]

I have PF Flyers, they're too small though. Anyoen willign to buy a 9.5 pair of Sandlot PF Flyers? I'm serious, they looks exactly liekthe ones in the movie. They're in really good condition, only wore them for one weekend.

I don't know, but I know they're made in China. I was dissapointed in that when I got a pair of checkerboards a while ago. I have enough problems wearing something name brand and trendy; it's even worse that they're most certainly made in sweatshops.


A bit ago I made a Critical Mass shirt. I think it turned out pretty sweet. It's on the back, too, so people can actually see it while I'm riding:

I also remade that *** stencil today. Turned out much better:

It rained all day today, so I took the time to create some back-to-school fashions and sewed some patches on my bag:

If your shoes cost less than 60 dolalrs they were made in a sweatshop.

True dat. Mine cost £10. Well, that's what the price-tag said, but I haggled it down to "If I see you in this store again I'm calling the police!". I think it was a good deal.

I am so popoolar.

I have a DIY problem. I finished all my grass over the weekend, but I wanna get druggied up. What can I make/find that will work, and it has to be free, or cost less than £1 in pennies from the penny jar?

[Danger Bird]

I've made it so my shoes can last even longer than they already have past their life expectancy.

Does anyone have the problem where the bottom part of their shoe can completely separate from their shoe like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/crappyshoes1.jpg

Because if that's ever the case, gorilla glue is your best bet. It really worked great for me. I had tried using a hot glue gun a few times before, but that doesn't work at all.

Then I started sewing up the big holes in the sides:

I know these shoes aren't worth saving... but I'm very attached to them.

Hah, I do that, it beats riding in the gutter and getting punctures every half an hour. You want me to treat cars as equals? Fine, I'll ride in the middle of the road!

I've never worn spandex and I don't have a nice bike, but it is my main mode of transportation. I try not to get in the way, but I do assert my right to the road if I need to. If there's no room to the right or there's a turn lane on red, I merge to the middle. I make left turns too. But I don't cut off drivers (unless I'm being forced off by some jerk) -- though lots of people are nice and give me right of way regardless, which always makes my day.

Bikes are traffic, and should be treated no better nor worse than cars. So, yeah, I might be one of those bastards. I wouldn't say I'm stuck up though.

This country would be a better place if more people biked.

EDIT: Though I suppose critical mass is an exception to my above thoughts. we're assholes there, and I'm sure it does nothing but piss people off. But it's fun and uniting.

[AIRIC]

When I bike I go wherever the **** I want.

**** cars.

[Ghostfire3]

Biking can only take you so far. At some point you need a car. Unless you live in a city in which case you can use public transportation.

[plebeian scum]

Biking can only take you so far. At some point you need a car. Unless you live in a city in which case you can use public transportation.
That's sort of what I said in the spring when I bought a new bike. But I've gone all summer with hardly using a car, and it's been a very rewarding experience. Unless I'm going somewhere with my family, I average one or two car rides a week -- and most of those I could probably avoid. Now I'm telling people I'm not going to get my driver's license.

But the real test comes this winter. Not looking forward to that too much. :\

[Jon]

I have a bike which I use if I'm going to the shops or library - about 6 miles return.

If I'm going anywhere else I get a lift, walk, or take the bus to the tube station (same distance, about 2 miles away), and get the tube up to town.

London is fantastic, I have no need for a car, screw all you guys paying £3000/year just for insurance.

Me too. I would ride into central London on my bike if I thought I could handle Highgate Hill and Holloway Road, but I don't think my leg muscles are strong enough for X miles of uphill riding.

[Ender_]

I'm in a good spot right now, being in a large university and all. I walk/bike where I need to go, as everything is a mile within campus. The few trips I take out of town I'm able to use the town metro bus system. I've enjoyed it quite a bit, thus far, I think I might try it when I'm back home.

[(r)evolution]

I take public transit esxlusively. It may smell like poo, but there are ways of getting on for free or dirt cheap if you know how to cheat it and it makes you feel independant. plus, what a colourful bunch.

[AIRIC]

I've never used public transit.

[Jon]

Man, I just go from Stirling corner to High Barnet, lol.

I've walked Archway - Soho a few times though, its decent exercise, but Highgate Hill, are you joking?

Also even if I could cycle the 15 miles to Charing Cross I wouldn't, because I'd be too drunk to cycle home.

Hence why I take public transport everywhere.

[coheneran]

I've never used public transit.

You should, it's awesome. I don't know if you guys have a night bus system in cities in the States, but here in London, I can get from Oval to Finchley on two night buses (that's South London to North London, a big ****en hike). Plus, you meet some pretty cool people on the Tube/bus.

[AIRIC]

I would use it if we had it like you guys have it.

I'm pretty sure the local transit here goes from like... the station to a grocery store or something. I don't think we have it like you guys.

[Jon]

For all the **** TFL gets, we actually have the best public transport system in the world.

The tube is the best underground network (wipes the floor with the ones in Rome, Paris and New York), and I'm sure our buses are pretty much second to none in the variety and overall regularity.

Meeting people on the night bus is the **** :cool:

[coheneran]

Tube's getting worse though. Should never have privatised it.

[Ghostfire3]

I would use it if we had it like you guys have it.

I'm pretty sure the local transit here goes from like... the station to a grocery store or something. I don't think we have it like you guys.

Maybe if you live in the 'burbs. But if you live in the city then obviously public tranportation is more heavily used.


On another note, I recently purchased a black zip-up hoodie with which I plan to put patches on. I've already made a few patches. I'll post pics when I'm all done with it.

[POINTLESS5448]

ok, you kids dont understand. im all about biking. i used to go on adventures and ride my bike to the other end of town. its the stupid stuck up spandex bikers that i dont like. you dont understand, they travel in packs of no less than 50 and they take up the bike lane and a regular lane and they seem to care less that there are huge cars trying to get by them. when i bike, i go on the sidewalk and if there isnt one then i go as far off the road as i can do to the abundant amount of cars speeding past. there is one spandex biker who i have the utmost respect for however. he has not feet. he has nubs at his ankles, and he made little bindings i guess for them and he leans up against streetlights or whatevers around. that guy is the only good one.

[mullets suk]

So do all of you live in the city?? i was thinkin bout the bike, but i live far away from averything, and the things close to me are close enough to walk. Also public transportaion suck here.

So sadly my attempt at making a Black Flag patch today was a failure. I accidently left the stencil on the fabric to dry and the paint glued the paper to the fabric. Oh well, the stencil was a little too small anyway so I will be going for my second attempt tomorrow.

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

What fabric do people use to make patches? The time I did it, I just cut up an old shirt, but I don't think that's the way to do it.

You expect 50 riders to all use the sidewalk? Or all stick to the bike lane?

The sidewalk is for pedestrians, you know, for people to walk on. The road is for vehicles. And in most places around the world bikes are considered vehicles.

I stick to the road as much as I can.

I don't really know what fabric I use. It's just some black fabric I bought at Jo Anne Fabrics and I use white fabric paint on it. Works pretty well.

http://www.craftsetc.com/Storage/ProductImages/278754.jpg
used brushes like this (although maybe a bit more circular, stiffer, etc etc) and just dabbed straight down until the entire surface was covered. Rollers might be easier to get an entire surface quicker, but these brushes are nice when you're trying to get a nice cut against the stencil (which in my case was contact paper).

No, just one layer. The white portions (like the eyes) were just islands that I put back on, so they didn't get blacked over.

That llama is hot dude, I wish I could do something that intricate.

So my 2nd attempt at a Black Flag patch was a failure too. I'm pissed. This time I tried this paint brush thing instead of a roller and the paint went under the stencil so it made it look like one big blob. I'm going for attempt number 3 tomorrow and if I don't get it this time I'm really gonna be pissed. But I won't give up!

what did you use as the actual stencil material?

If you use contact paper (the lining many people put on kitchen shelves, and stuff--it has a sticky side), you shouldn't have that problem. :(
link of what it is for those that don't know - http://housewares.hardwarestore.com/37-188-contact-papers/clear-contact-paper-105240.aspx

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with it. Although, this kinda reminds me of another shirt I need to take a picture of (it's dirty, and in the hamper atm, os it will be later). I did the black flag logo on the left sleeve of a black shirt (white logo), and accidentally let the paint dry. When I tore it off, it ripped some of the paint off. I was pissed, but it gave the shirt an aged look, which I've got a lot of comments about. :)

about the neil young stencil-the result looks better than what I thought the cutout would provide. Good job. :)

I save my money. Never something silly like an ipod. The silliest thing I considered buying was a moped, which would likely be the most advanced form of transportation I ever purchase.

The materials weren't all that expensive, I guess. We've had the dye for a couple of years now, and we have some of it given to us. We often use used clothing items, or buy discounted clothes to dye. We're thrifty. And our thriftyness allows me to sell my clothes at a fairly cheap price.

Tomorrow I am going to make a keg tap with like 4 tubes come off of it. Pointless just gave me a bunch of differnet types of xacto knifes and blades fo my birthday I am pretty ****ing excited to start a new stencil and i am going to make a silk screen soon but i don't really know how.

Also, here's a vest I did a while ago. Its dirty and smells of alcohol. It has safety pins and lipstick marks that come and go. Notice my lack of blank clothes, and lack of colours of fabric paint.

i was just wondering what you guys think about this shirt im making. I smudged it a little, and i dont know weather i should try covering up the messed up parts, and run the risk of ruining it more, or leaving it as is.

Big protest coming up, does anyone know an efficient way to make two-colour flags without a sewing machine? I need to make as many as possible.

[Jon]

one colour flag + spraypaint?

I just found out that one of my classes (print making) is basically screenprinting.

Its going to be so good.

And dude, I think its Tuesdays, 4.30-7 (but will have to check) theres extra screenprinting workshops. Doing textiles and stuff.

Just put two colors on top of each other and run a sewing machine down one side. I think that's the easiest way to do it, and will produce the best results.

Of course that involves a sewing machine ...

Here's a couple pictures of one of the wallets I've made myself. I made this one out of pennies, I've made 2 out of Pokemon cards, one out of Monopoly money, and one out of counterfeit money. This is the only one I've taken pictures of, and was the second wallet I made.

It's a bit sketchy, since it was the first time I had used something that wasn't paper, and the thickness made quite a difference.

It was a little heavy, but nothing more than a wallet with change in it anyways. I don't use this one nowadays, due to me being poor enough to need to use change, and the lack of a change pocket doesn't help.

This was fun taking through the airport security when I worked there, always got some weird looks from security guards when they scanned it.

I can put up a little guide on this (sorry, no step-by-step pics, maybe next time I make one I'll take pics along the way) if you guys want.

Thanks for the comments on the wallet, guys. Would anyone want me to write up a guide on how I do it? It only takes about half an hour, 45 minutes if you're going to get al the creases out, assuming you've got decent packing tape.

I have a question: Does anyone know if the freezer paper stencils (from the link on the first page) are re-usable? I'm guessing they are, but I've never physically felt freezer paper, so I don't know. Can you iron it onto a shirt more than once? I'm only looking to do one-color shirts right now, if that makes a difference. Thanks.

there reusable to an extent. after the first go though they be EXTREAMLY weak esp if theres a lot of "peninsulas" or thin areas. im not sure about the ironing on more then once, ive think ive done it once. and it doesnt work as great. if its one color then you should be fine.

If your only going to make a shirt once then i would go with freezer paper. if you want to reuse it, then go with something sturdier.

[plebeian scum]

Eh, freezer paper doesn't work that great with multiple applications. I've been able to get a couple applications out of one sheet, but it's better to go a different route with multiples. The stuff is flimsy, and most of the plastic is gone after the first time through.

One thing you could do is get something sturdier (overhead transparency or manilla folder) and adhere to the shirt temporarily with spray-tac. You can do that over and over.

whats the purpose of freezer paper, is it that you iron it on, so you get no access paint on the sides of the letters, and it doesnt drip down the shirt, cant i just use something else?

[mullets suk]

you can use what ever you want. the freezer paper is good just because it can stick on the shirt easily. and, its easy to trace your stencil and cut. Its just depends on whatyou find easier.

I got a couple foam rollers and a paint tray at the local dollar store. For 3 rollers of different sizes, the tray, and a couple foam handbrushes (which I don't need, gave them to my mom), it cost me $3.

I was (optimistically) planning on doing loads of different designs for the shirts using weird fonts and pictures of pandas, but I may just have a few different stencil of the band name in different fonts and then a few stencils of cool pictures then mix & match them for all the shirts. Shouldn't be too much trouble with cheap t-shirts and tons of acrylic paint.

snakefinger is this guy that is associated with the band the residents and other ralph records things, but he also did his own solo stuff. He was pretty sweet, and I thought that that picture of him on his album cover would make a good stencil.

And the minor threat thing is partially a stencil. The red is a stencil, but I hand colored in the black.

DIY question:

ask the guitar section, they answer of questions like that. i think the paint ussally chips off after a while sot the best way would be clear tape.

[Massriot]

been asked before, I'm sure. but I really don't feel like going through three hundred sixty pages.

so.. for six inch hair, with a mohawk about two inches wide, do you think that rubber cement [for hair] would work? or something home made would be cool too. I don't want to have to use like 50 different things to keep it up.
thanks guys.

[SantaDuJuan]

Don't crakas use that crazy hairspray?

[Massriot]

I'm not familiar with this "crazy hairspray" hah.
want to show me what you mean? :P

[SantaDuJuan]

I'm pretty sure in this guess, but on teh of the OG MX posters had a larger mohawk, and she said she uses hairspray.

Granted it's not any kind of hairspray, but try over the counter stuff first man.
Don't just get on the internet and ask people if it's okay to use cement to put your mohawk up. You don't know what that could do to your scalp.

[Massriot]

thanks.
but I mean rubber HAIR cement.
I found it in the store, and I was basically asking if anyone has experience with it. sorry for the confusion. I was also asking if anyone has had good luck with other stuff.

but yeah, thanks for helping.

[SantaDuJuan]

HEY man, is it a spray or a jel?

[Massriot]

a gel type stuff.
?

[mullets suk]

my freind had one and used this model glue stuff. even though his was pretty crappy, so...

Also ive asked my parents if i could put up some spare dry wall behind my drum set so i could spray my stencils up there. Ive never sprayed walls so whats some tips to get an even spray that wont run? I don’t want this to be a wall for just random crap, so the best spray would be great.

[POINTLESS5448]

cover a large area around the stencil as to eliminate overspray and spray from far away so it wont bleed. thats what i would do.

[bleep_bloop]

In making the stencil do you draw the picture or print it, cause I've seen some pretty pro stuff.

[Danger Bird]

I take it you've all seen http://www.diyhappy.com?

[bleep_bloop]

why does no one ever answer my questions?

[coheneran]

Because it was 5am when you posted it?:p

You can draw, or you can print, depending on how confident you are in your freehanding. I've drawn a couple, but usually I print them out, or make them on Photoshop and then print them out. Printing also gives you more contrast, and Photoshop lets you edit it much more quickly and easily than it would to do it by hand. At the end of the day, it's up to you, and what you're most comfortable with.:thumb:

Although it is occasionally fun to wear things just to get looks from people. I dressed up as magenta from rocky horror and went to a school football game. May sound stupid, but it was fun. (bare in mind, there was a reason. I was going to the rocky horror picture show in theaters right after)

[mullets suk]

Well i mean to wear it to represent the band, but when my mom saw it she was just laughed and said no. also having my grandparents there didnt help, i just felt like a complete *** in front of them. I dont care what other people think but when it comes to grandparents that just made me feel really bad.

[Flagjacket]

Yeah you only get one family, treat them right.

[Jon]

I wear clothes that I think make me look rather swish, if I can make old ladies drop their shopping or cyclists fall off their bikes then that's extra.

[coheneran]

Bunch o' queens.

I wear clothes to cover up my shame.

I'm thinking of stencil-shaving my pubes into a particular shape/symbol, any ideas on how to go about this in detail?

[Jon]

Uh...trim them pubes really short and do it freehand I guess..

I have a friend who's a beautician so I would get it done properly, but yeah.

I might shave 'LAMF' into my pubes :shifty:

[coheneran]

Trimming's gonna be a hassle. I'll just shave the lot. Balls're gonna be a toughie.

[mullets suk]

watch out, dont get razor burn. the kid i sat next to was hurting for two weeks. also dont get nicked.

[Jon]

Shaving balls is really simple once you get into the swing of it.

Use a razor, not an electric shaver and its all good.

What I mean about trimming - use hair clippers or scissors to get it pretty short, like 1/4", and then shave the rest in with and electric shaver.

Wow, you really seem to know what you're doing here.

[Jon]

It just sort of makes sense.

Well, the first two lines were because I don't like to be a gorilla; the last two are just speculatative

[me likes punk]

I shave my dark side every week or so. Balls aren't really hard, but sometimes they take FOREVER.

[POINTLESS5448]

i cant believe there is a whole page about shaving your pubes.

[mookie91]

It's not a whole page but it is close.

what are you talking about? Thats the punk forum incarnate.

[AIRIC]

I shave too..

[Ghostfire3]

I shaved once. But then when it was growing back it was ****ing itchy as hell and that sucked so much. Now I just trim.

[bigblondeafro87]

Nah I just leave it all natural, I like my hair

[Rise Me Up]

I like Eran's idea of using a stencil to shave something in it.

[SantaDuJuan]

I did it once, it didn't feel right so I don't anymore.
But I do trim.

But uh, it does look bigger when bare.

[time bomb]

I dunno whether pubes are thick enough to actually use a stencil well, like, once you get past the curlyness, the actual roots of the hairs are pretty well spaced apart...well, mine are at least.

[Volume8]

I like Eran's idea of using a stencil to shave something in it.

It'd just never work im afraid, its not really dence enough, the only hair dence enough for stencils is head hair really.

And women let you get away with that??

[bigblondeafro87]

Absolutely haha. Its seems the popular thing is to trim lately, but no ones complained about my matenence free choice lately so, I'll skip the scissors. :chug:

I did a test run (no pics!) and there's some unpleasant red spots where the hairs that were shaved off used to be, and no amount of vaseline body lotion is making them go away. I'll stick to shaving my legs.

Out of interest, does anybody know how to shave balls? Would you have to stretch them out a bit or what? Because I'd be way scared of running a razor over wrinkly skin, particularly where my genitals are involved.

[<---NoFX--->]

It's not too hard shaving balls, if you kinda pull the skin tight to get the creases out and then just shave them, do it gently though for f'ucks sake. I nicked myself the other day.... absolute blood bath, but not really :naughty:

[dropkickstreetpunk]

I just made my first shirt. The test spray came out better. Theres also a lot of spray at the top right corner. it's a DRI shirt

[coheneran]

Not bad, but you gotta watch out for the overspray.

Looking at it again, pretty damn good for a first-timer.:thumb:

Right now the only hair on my body is what's on my head and a small heart above my Yeti Penis.
No *** hair.
No ball hair.
No leg hair.
No armpit hair.
No happy trail.

Double post, ftw!

Great job, but next time think about taping down some newspaper or something around the stencil to avoid that overspray.

I was thinking about doing my legs, but it was pretty much 50-50 yes-no from the girls I asked, thought it was too much of a risk.

Did my chest and treasure trail though, feels and looks so much better.

Why?

Having smooth legs makes me feel so sexy.

I think all this art is getting to us, this thread has definitely taken a turn to the homoerotic. I like it.

If you use a razor that's meant for girls it's almost impossible to get cut or have bad razorburn. Just be sure to use shaving cream, too.

[POINTLESS5448]

i just noticed that i didnt cut a little box on the right side. it just did it so its actually symetrical(sp?) now.
