I'm going to do that one too. Except im putting it on a sweat shirt and I'm not including the Specials on writing.

skinnedmonkey 09-24-2005 01:54 PM

thats excellent man. how do you print stuff on t-shirts like that? do you have to have a certain type of printer or can you get it done somewhere?

I print the design on poster board through my printer, cut it out, then stencil it on.

RudeBoyStompin 09-24-2005 02:13 PM

That was my last blank black t-shirt. What will I do?!

Shtein 09-24-2005 02:14 PM

You use an exacto knife or scissors.

I use an exacto knife, scissors get really awkward to hold after a while

buy a new one?

RudeBoyStompin 09-24-2005 02:28 PM

I use an x-acto, scissors would get sloppy I imagine.

skinnedmonkey 09-24-2005 02:37 PM

Yah I tried to use scissors once, it was really bad

Shtein 09-24-2005 03:04 PM

You also support a faceless corporation that rapes the communities it settles in.

In shorter words. Wal Mart is so not punX

Lack of creativity blows me away.


It's not really DIY if someone tells you what to do.

...."where else do they sell things for all my diy needs"...

how about thrift stores?

but aside from that point, if you're willing to buy from MicroMcDisney-Mart for your diy needs.... why not just go and buy some distressed denim pants, and jacket for that matter...

when did punx become so pro-establishment...?

because I sew a lot and thrift stores don't usually sell fabric paint, and I never said I was pro walMArt I just said that there's not that many ways around it and I never said I wanted pants..... I have some pants on right now

Stealing from friends is the way I get most of my paints and stuff.

Also, Home Depot.

AIRIC 09-25-2005 07:36 PM

I'm sure Home Depot is much better.

not exactly, thats like saying if you are addicted cigarettes, then you are blatantly pro-smoking. but what if you wanted to quit cigarettes and hated them but cant?

have you ever seen that one episode of south park with the "wall-mart"?

fabric stores also sell fabric paint, so do all the "mom and pop" hobbie stores i have ever been to... you know those "mom and pop" joints that that wal-mart is puting out of buisness... if they aren't already...

Its the truth I'm addicted to walmart.....

And they are all out of buisnees poor mom and pops

Aus Rotten 09-25-2005 08:22 PM

I bet there's plenty of craft stores/etc. that sell exactly what you need. It's called effort.

skinnedmonkey 09-25-2005 08:24 PM

Its called, I was already at WalMart cause my mom needed groceries or something.... and I looked at some other places first they were all out

Potatoe 09-25-2005 08:49 PM

[QUOTE=skinnedmonkey]Its called, I was already at WalMart cause my mom needed groceries or something.... and I looked at some other places first they were all out[/QUOTE]

it is still called effort, ask one of the sales clerks if they can special order you some(many joints wont charge extra on special orders on things that they carry, but are out of), or ask when the next shipment will come in.

even if you dont realise it, you make a statement with where you spend your money. Yes wal-mart has every f[SIZE=2]u[/SIZE]ckin' thing ever made under the sun within their doors, but that convenience costs many people their dreams/jobs/sense of hope... i suggest you learn more about the store that you are lending your patronage to, before you continue shoping there..

and quit defending your self with lies, they're a flimsy defence at best and many people loose their respect for you when they see through your lies..

now decide: They all went out of busines OR I went to a few, but they were out of the product i was looking for...

ponce

Well I went to some smaller stores that aren't mom and pop or whatever, like hobby loby and stuff, but all the reall small ones are gone, well theres not much here in the middle of nowhere anyways

You're still killing the community where it is located. Wal Marts are leeches that should be avoided at all costs.

You can go to a lot more places to get this stuff. Try craft stores, even tiny communities have at least one craft store. Even Michaels is better then Wal Mart.

Put in some effort and you can get this stuff. If you aren't going to bother making the effort, then why do DIY in the first place, just buy your stuff premade like everyone else.
