I got my vest in the mail today. It's a XXL and kind of small, but it shall do. I start patching it as soon as my backpatch gets here.

I lack 2 patches to finish my vest. I was thinking of getting a c'ock sparrer one.

Brain Toad 05-27-2005 01:45 PM

I have a Sparrer one that I never got to put on my jacket, it will make its way onto my vest probably.

Rise Me Up 05-27-2005 01:47 PM

Are you sewing it yourself?

Brain Toad 05-27-2005 01:50 PM

More than likely. I had my mom sew the patches onto themselves to provide extra security on her machine. I may do what I did with my jacket and hand sew, and if they are too weak have my mom use her machine to reinforce, unless she wants to teach me how to use the thing.

Rise Me Up 05-27-2005 01:54 PM

I sewed my vest,but I had my first jacket sewn on at a store in town-it looks way better that way,obviously.

[QUOTE=TheNowhereman42]asking people what to put on yo'ur jacket is so not hardcore. Conformist!

my punk jacket is a black/neon green Ninja Turtles track jacket that i wear everyday. I'm so hardcore i don't need patches[/QUOTE]



Dude you so got that at hot topic... conformist...

And about mohawks... I need help too... my hair is really thick, and the hawk is about 2 inches wide. I was thinking it would be much better if I thinned it out?

It always curves to the left a bit... how do I slove this? straighteining doesnt do much, but hair gel on the tips (in a ddition to the spray) seemed to make it stick straighter.

Hey does anyone know anything about silkscreening and making your own shirts?
Or like where to get iron-on letters on anything?[/QUOTE]




Michaels can tell you a lot about diying your own shirts. Just buy some fabric paint for 99 cents and make a stencil.

SantaDuJuan 05-27-2005 05:23 PM

Someone edit it the thread so it says not to ask about hair.

Brain Toad 05-27-2005 05:26 PM

Mohawk bit taken out, those questions were getting really old.

SantaDuJuan 05-27-2005 05:32 PM

Thank you.

On a differnt kind of DIY for ya kids.

I want to make something unique for my iPod as a cover for it.
I saw some sock covers for iPods but they were way to expensive.
So!
Here's the question, what should I do with it?

asdf 05-27-2005 05:34 PM

I made my first DIY shirt (by the same method I make patches) and it turned out great.

I'll post pictures tomorrow or something, even though the logo is for a band that is not punk at all.

Carefully craft a 'iSkin' from duct tape. But avoid sticking the tape directly to the iPod, instead make "Duct tape fabric" and create a pocket. To creat duct tape fabric:

Lay out about 3-4 strips of duct tape, sticky side out, horizontally. Place one down, then another on top, overlapping slightly. Continue with the rest. Then take more strips and lay them vertically over the horizontal ones , sticky side down. Do this until you have a crosst hatch thing of duct tape. This can be used to wrap around the iPod, cut where you need to cut, fit for size, and hold pieces together with duct tape.

SantaDuJuan 05-27-2005 05:38 PM

Thanks for the tip Mr.Mod.
But duck-tape isn't how this child wears his iPod.
I was thinking more a line of the sock idea.

Find an old sock and put it inside and cut holes.

SantaDuJuan 05-27-2005 05:48 PM

I may get my grandmother to do that.
But I might dye it a differnt color also.
Or just buy a colored sock.

Brain Toad 05-27-2005 05:51 PM

I've seen little corchet holders for iPods, but that may be a bit queer for a black man like yourself.

sweet. I made one from your method of making patches. Came out good.

pimpy the pirate 05-27-2005 06:18 PM

cutting out the stencil for the patch is too hard imo my way is easier

Funny, since I am bisexual.

But seriously, I actually just wanted to ask something about DIY rather than shirts and patches.


Anyone do DIY on things like electronics?

I Made a Eletrontic light up music quiz back in 6th.

SantaDuJuan 05-27-2005 07:44 PM

Sounds fun.

cheeser_1 05-27-2005 08:40 PM

i've done some electronics. i took a class on it, and did some stuff outside class, but not a whole lot. i don't have the money or time to really do stuff like that much.
