Well then, someone should make this poll.

Well, seeing as this is DIY, I say you make them yourself. Honestly, Plaid material can't be all that hard to find. Learn to sew, it's a very helpful thing to know.

That stuff will screw up your scalp and give you flakes. Use styling glue if you want to use glue. It lasts for a few days and washes away with water.

Ok, well just go find some red plaid pants and get some zippers and stuff and sew it all on, don't try to make them yourself unless you're used to sewing or it will be a big waste of time.

Plus, the reason Tiger of London is so expensive has to do with:
1. they're shipped in from england
2. handmade (this is the main reason)
3. and they have a lot of zippers, which aren't incredibly expensive but probably adds a bit to the price

Ehh, making a pair from the bare materials is a lot harder than it sounds. Especially if you want them to be tight, and not completely fall apart.

But, If you wanna alter a pair that's already been made:
Try and find some old person golf-type pants at a thrift store, I know a few people who've actually found some cool looking plaid pants this way. Some hot topic stores also sell plaid pants, they're just kind of baggy. The solution here is to put them on inside out, pin down a seam going up the sides (make sure can still bend your legs and squat and stuff, so you don't look like a douche later), then sew up the seams from the outside.

yea tigers of london are about 40 - 50 quid , unless you haggle with the turkish pikies in camden

[Brothel_Creeper]

you know it you tart, just say 'ooo, i dont know if i can afford that' and the price halves.

[Platinum_twf]

oh, I just realized I put this in DIY, I had a few windows up, I'll put it in The Community Thread....but any way,
@ chairman_of_the_board, thanks I never thought about ebay, but what do you mean "like I said"?

@asdf23, I probably wont try to make pants from just the sheets of material, and actually I did have a hard time finding plaid, when I was looking for it for my coat, no one had it, I don't know why...ragshop and Michaels didn't even have it...

@ratsinthecity403, I could do that...were would you get plain plaid pants, though?

[Scabies]

you know it you tart, just say 'ooo, i dont know if i can afford that' and the price halves.

Anyone ever seen where one arm of a leather is plaid? I've been trying this for awhile with no results, any advice?

[sketchyjoe]

I think Matt's jacket is like that.

[Brain Toad]

I never understood the random plaid on jackets. But it looks cool on some, and I want to do it too mine. But I don't want to go regular plaid, I want to try to get my scottish clan's tartan, but the fabric is really expensive.

[Rise Me Up]

i used plaid pajama bottoms for a patch and it was pretty cool

[Sebek]

Actually when I think about it, I probably just didn't take enough time to alter it;

I cut the leg off of grey plaid pajama pants, but forgot that it would have to be cut more to the proportions of the tight sleeve rather than the loose leg.

im guessing you can find instructions online on how to sow pants?

[pimpy the pirate]

dude that stuff costs $12 ill jus try regular glue or just put on a sh*t load of gel

[TheNowhereman42]

use bar soap its cheap, lasts forever, and works, if needed reinforce with a bit of hairspray

you can get a cheap brand at walmart for like 4 to 5 bucks, its citrus sented. I used to use it when i had my hair spiked, but then i got lazy and just grew it out.

[cheeser_1]

you can get a cheap brand at walmart
or you could have some common sense and not shop at that fascist hell-hole.

[asdf]

Well, I allready know how to sew. Hand sew and machine sew. I've known since I was 5. But I bet it's possible to get instructions online. I also know that they sell cut-out paper templates at fabric stores that my mom has used to make me some pants.

And I guess it might be hard to find plaid material, which is odd. Check goodwill like someone else said if you want plaid pants or just any plaid material. I used plaid from an old pair of wrecked shoes to patch my jacket. Just be creative about it.

[Jessizzle]

Hm Lots of Plaid at Fabric land. And they do sell templates for pants there also..
Man i love Fabric Land.

Anybody want to give or sell me a denim jacket or vest for lesst than ****ing $30?

I would, but shipping would cost so much from east to west coast.

[Master]

i can do it...but it depends on what kind of wash youre looking for

[Brain Toad]

I would, but shipping would cost so much from east to west coast.

Depends on how much it weights, would be like $3-4, maybe a little more.

Get the instructions from Tim and Jim? I made my own too. Doesn't hold much though because its so skinny. I'm a duct tape fiend, I have about 6 rolls, all different colours for different purposes.

[Brain Toad]

No I'm going to put excess patches on it because I got too many for my jacket now, and I want something to wear when it is warmer out so I'm not sweating like a hog.

[Anxious]

I figured out how to do it myself, i can make a trifold one that holds as much as a normal wallet. Plus a Id window made out of clear tape.

[Brain Toad]

I did a trifold, and it was still kind of then. Hard to attach to my chain though, but it was pretty cool.

[metty16]

Duct tape wallets were sooooooooooo 9th grade. I was good at making them.

[bearofintegrity]

i made a wallet out of an old pair of pants

[TheNowhereman42]

I know a kid with a duct tape backpack

[Brain Toad]

I was going to cover my backpack in duct tape. I know a guy who has duct tape pants, stole my idea. I have duct tape covered shoes though.

[IFlogMyMolly16]

Duct tape pants? That was done like a million times.

Duct tape annoys me. It's just so Hot Topic kid-like.

And covering stuff in duct tape is stupid...the whole point is to make it yourself. Covering something in tape is just dumb, I say.

Oh, and once at K-Mart I saw a fake duct tape wallet for sale. Stupid?

[TheNowhereman42]

no he acctually made his backpack entirly out of duct tape and two clips from an old messenger bag.

[IFlogMyMolly16]

I was talkin bout the Holy Moderator.

[ratsinthecity403]

duct tape backpacks kind of suck. They might look all nice at first but they need constant repairs and aren't really worth the trouble

I'm pretty much the only person who does so much with duct tape that I know. My obsession comes from my family, my grandfather and uncle were both in the heating business, which is what duct tape is meant for, so they used it for everything.

I saw the fake duct tape wallet at Spencer's, d'amn posers.

[IFlogMyMolly16]

HAHAHHAHA Nick, that's so dumb! I'm not trying to make fun of you, but come on. That's like saying, well, my mom was a hairstylist, so I always thought that wearing scissors and combs would be really cool.

[pedro durruti]

My mom's a nurse

[Brain Toad]

I don't wear much duct tape, I just use it a lot to fix things, or reinforce things. The duct tape shoes were for a costume.

I covered the bottom of my backpack to just reinforce it and to prevent rips, and I took it off later because it was peeling off, and there was a rip on there that wasnt there before.

[TheNowhereman42]

I love my man-purse.

My mom is a lawer, so I naturally wear expensive suits and thin-rimmed glasses everyday.

[IFlogMyMolly16]

My mom's a nurse
I can only imagine...

[Brain Toad]

You guys are going to make me cry :upset:

I'll use duct tape as kleenex.

[TheNowhereman42]

My dad is a quantity surveyor, so I like to use calculator buttons as the buttons on my very conservativ suits

[Brain Toad]

I'm sure Nowhereman will like this duct tape project. It is on my keyboard drawer which I orginally put duct tape on to cover up the carving i did when bored. I did this because I had the colours:

[youcantseeme]

I don't even know what a zebra feels like...but yeah I guess I could guess (ha, that was cool) and say that they are soft and fury....I guess they would feel like a horse or something.

Practice. Practice. Practice.

Try only sewing it in a little bit. Or just pinning it on the inside at first, to see where you want it. Wear them, and see if it's too tight. You should be able to sit and such properly.

wrong forum f'uck off
back on topic i cut up a old pair of jeans for patches and used a bleach pen on em and it worked really good you get a kinda yellow tint but you can color it in with a sharpie or just leave it like that

B) Dyed it
C) Had a mohawk
D) Have liberty spikes

Blue dosnt suit me, iv had it the blueyblack and it was just stupid.

Ah...
Then do green. I think red is a little cliche for my taste.

[Jessizzle]

Green sounds cool, Red is so not cliche :( i love being a red head.. but its fading so i want something new. i really liked having purple hair, mainly cause the dye is easy to find.. But for green iv never seen permament dye only semi perma.

Yesterday I went on a critical mass bike ride and there were a bunch of punk kids with home-made clothes. It was very fun and inspired me to make more of my own stuff.

In the spirit of DIY, Lets vote on what color i should dye my hair next !
last time i had spikes i made it so each one was a dfferent color there's an idea...

[Jessizzle]

Hahahah thats so awesome, but i dont spike my hair... :( I was telling this girl in my class that i wanted a mohawk and she started freaking out.. Im thinking of getting one just for Shock Factor, but then i relized that i love my hair.

[asdf]

I have no plans on getting a mohawk or cutting my hair short or anything. My long curly hair is beautiful. :cool:

[Jessizzle]

I'm defenitly waiting on a hair cut, cause i just got a real cool flat iron.

[Anarcho Poser]

Hahahah thats so awesome, but i dont spike my hair... :( I was telling this girl in my class that i wanted a mohawk and she started freaking out.. Im thinking of getting one just for Shock Factor, but then i relized that i love my hair.
Two girls in my school got mowhawks, and they look totally retarded. They're both stupid.

Similarly, I need to cut my hair, but I dunno what to do with it. If anyone has any pictures of rad hairstyles I can copy/variate, that'd be swell.

[Brain Toad]

:rolleyes: Kid.

You havn't even been here that long. You don't what this forum is really about.
This most talked about thing on this thread is mohawks.
It should be clothes and patch making.

Stop with the mohawk questions.
Everyone's hair is differnt.

Metty > You

Now shut up and stop complaining.

whats the best way to put studs in your jacket?

[Brain Toad]

whats the best way to put studs in your jacket?

Pushing them in by hand and bending the prongs back with your fingers, or some sort of hard flat object if you can't do it by hand.

If the stud can't make the hole, use something narrow and sharp to start the hole to help the stude,

[pimpy the pirate]

would super glue work?

[Jessizzle]

why would you glue it? You push the little metal flaps into whatever you want them to be on.

[Brain Toad]

Super Glue would probably wear off and like Jess said, why would you do that, they have the prongs for a reason.

[asdf]

would super glue work?
super glue? that's the most half-*** way to put in a stud I've ever heard...

[Jessizzle]

I remember when i put a bunch of studs in my backpack my hands hurt like a bitch.

[Anarchy&Peace]

box cutter works like a charm and if you ever want to sew patches on your leather jacket use needles nose pliers to push/pull the needle through it helps A LOT

[Flagjacket]

Hey, just making sure, spray paint won't rub off of studs right away will it?

[invrtedflag]

i imagine if you prime them first it wont rub off at all

[Jessizzle]

Paint will mostly likely chip?

[SantaDuJuan]

Hey, just making sure, spray paint won't rub off of studs right away will it?


My God.
Use common knowledge.
Don't do that. Really, just buy painted studs. Don't paint them yourself.

[Jessizzle]

Dude, DIY?!?

[invrtedflag]

metal primer makes it so paint sticks to metal common knowledge how do you think cars are painted voodoo?

[Brain Toad]

Prime it first of course, and use a paint for metal, probably automotive paint. It will not cheap unless it is really banged, hit, scratched, and just plain beat up.

I have a good stock of automotive paint, so if I ever wanted to do it, it would cost me less to paint them then buy painted studs if I wanted coloured ones.

[SantaDuJuan]

Dude, DIY?!?

Haha, I strongly believe in DIY but we're 14 and up. We don't have 20 years of experince. It would much eaiser to buy them all ready studded and safe. Then to mess them up and have to buy new ones.

[Jessizzle]

I never bought studs, i just thought it was cool to make a checkerd pattern out of my belt, then i had mucho leftover. So i had my fun.

[asdf]

The only studs I have came off a pair of socks my mom had from the 80's. They're now on my backpack. I hurt myself putting one of them on. It got stuck under my nail :(

[SantaDuJuan]

Wow that would hurt.

[Saberpunk]

studded socks?

[invrtedflag]

thats odd

[asdf]

studded socks?
Yeah, they had studs around the edge.

Don't ask, I don't get it either...

[Anarcho Poser]

My friend had a hoodie with studs on it, so he took them off and gave them to me. I put them on the collar of my nylon jacket.

I have a BIg riding test today, So i needed to polish my leather riding boots, Well i ran outa leather cleaning s'hit. , water dosnt work because they're so old and cracked..
Help?!?

[Jaw, Knee, B. Goode]

If you put some house hold cleaner on them called "mop and glow" they'll be so polished you can see your face in them. But that's only good if you have that stuff.

[shadows_forbid]

My friend wants to know how to make the following drugs cause he is a fag:

Ecstasy
LSD
Speed
shrooms
herion

yea well he is a cool guy ahaha whatever he thinks he is black

[SantaDuJuan]

I think you could find directions in the Anarchist Cookbook.

[shadows_forbid]

thanks ill tell him that..hopefully he gets caught

[mole]

shrooms


Make shrooms?

[me likes punk]

what is the best way to bend the prongs on studs so the stay a long time? inward or outward?

[mole]

I say inward

[Jessizzle]

I say inward
123

[me likes punk]

I say inward


thank you young man/lady

[Brain Toad]

Inward is the best. Don't just go vertical either, once you bend it in, bend in more so the points are facing the fabric. That gives it extra secruity.

Might be a bit late for this but if you use a rolled up pair of tights (panty-hoes ) and just polish them with that then it should work, my uncle used that for his boots in the army and it always seemed to work for him

Have you tried going out before it and buying some more?

[Jessizzle]

Yeah, Just a little late, I only lost a mark or two.
And i couldnt of gone out seeing as i was leaving within the hour.

[bearofintegrity]

any ideas on how to make a backpack?

[Anarcho Poser]

Take one apart, see how and where it's sewn, and emulate that.

[Rise Me Up]

anybody have any patch making tips,or know what page i could find it on?

[asdf]

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.

[Jessizzle]

I made a heatskores patch while at some stupid shcool thing where we had to use sewing machines, I just wrote what i wanted and it printed out. Perrrfect!

[Rise Me Up]

Thanks.

[oitotheworld]

what can you do to a pair of shorts to make them look cool? i'm gonna put some patches on them but anything else?

[AIRIC]

make them punk.

[Glass_Hero]

how can i make pink spray paint? I'll prolly use an airbrush so i just need to know what colors to combine.

[Brain Toad]

Red and white would probably do it.

[SantaDuJuan]

what can you do to a pair of shorts to make them look cool? i'm gonna put some patches on them but anything else?

I'm guessing you received a pair a shoes you didn't like.
If they're like Chuck Taylors or something dye them to a color you like.
If not, use a permi marker and go crazy.
:wave:

[mole]

SHORTS not SHOES

[SantaDuJuan]

SHORTS not SHOES

Oh, haha. Wow.
The dying and marking both work for SHORTS and SHOES.

But yeah patches would be nice.

[Glass_Hero]

you could just wear the shorts, and since your cool already, the shorts will be cool too.

[Glass_Hero]

Red and white would probably do it.
more red than white, or more white than red? pink really is a sic lookin color. I guess the amount would depend on the shade of pink i'm going for. Oh well i'll try and see what happens. thanx

[Brain Toad]

Start with Red and then keep adding white until you get the desired pink.

[Brain Toad]

Hey, just making sure, spray paint won't rub off of studs right away will it?

I went and asked my dad about this, because he has dealed with the metal paints the most. He said sinc ethe studs are chrome, it would take about 4 different layers of different stuff in order for it to stay without rubbing off.

[oitotheworld]

very true...

I think i'm gonna stick to just patches since studs and writing stuff might look stupid

[Flagjacket]

Aw crap, I'll just put them in my wristband then. I'll have to buy painted studs next time.

[Brain Toad]

What kind of jacket is it? Painting only looks really good on leather, but some patches just look funny. Don't paint on denim. And if its an army jacket (which is what mine is) some paint looks good, but not a lot, and patches and studs in the right places and amounts looks good.

Well how i got pink was i added small amounts of red to white until i got the right colour, of course i was painting a picture :upset:

That probably works too.

[Glass_Hero]

yeah that's sounds right. I could make the pink light or dark depending on how much red i added in. Thanx

[invrtedflag]

making pinks elemantary **** people think about it for a second pink = light light red i wonder what you add to makes something a lighter color?

Nah, just someone who likes to make patches for the bands I listen to.

That could definitely be done. I think you should try it.

I did it, and laminted it with backing tape... it will probably not last very long though.

[Scabies]

I'm doing a big Crass - style piece for my art GCSE. I'll post a pic on wednesday if i can.

[Scabies]

Actually, i need some examples of the crass - style border, yknow with all the political slogans round it. any pics? prefereably bands other than crass.

[SantaDuJuan]

I would check the Crass label site.

[Scabies]

you mean southern? couldnt find anything not crass on there.

[metty16]

check the record label site or if you have an album they might have pictures and stuff to cut out of the booklet thing

[z is me]

alright guys.... i bought a leather jacket and am about to sow a misfits back patch onto it, when my father said that it would be best to use a type of patch glue that we have. Commen sence tells me to sow, but i dont want to screw it up, and he knows much more about this than me, so will sowing damage the jacket or will it not?

thanks

[Rise Me Up]

You really suck at spelling.

If your not taking it off it shouldn't matter.

[Jessizzle]

Well, glue would ruin it too, any thing you put on this jacket you wont want to take off. Sewing would make holes in the jacket and glue would leave yucky dried up glue. if its not commimg off id suggest using both.
Really are you going to want a misfits patch maybe 3 years from now?

[Shtein]

Leave the jacket how it is,thats my opinion. But, if you put something on it, put an original patch. What I mean by this is make your own design with fabric or Sharpie markers. Thats what im doing. My denim jacket that I used to have was just plain with guitar company patches, it was cool.:cool:Then my growth spurt happened :upset:
