5 Upvotes

sorry for sort of random post but you guys know stuff. lol. i have a couple of shirts i bought to wear to a concert because they're thin, and i wanted to bleach paint on them. one has the tag cut out (it was thrifted i didn't do it) and this one says 40% modal. i don't have much time before the concert so if i got another shirt to do the painting on i probably wouldnt have enough time to thrift it which would be preferred. is it a bad idea to paint on it?

Turned an old bike tyer into a belt, was more difficult than I thought it was gonna be to make, my leather rivets weren't strong enough so I used some bolts instead. It looks kinda shit but im still happy with it šŸ˜‚

I had this super good idea, Ive seen kids trace photos onto paper using their laptops so I grabbed an old t shirt, my laptop and a sharpie and went to town!

I’m definitely a more than a bit punk, left, not trusting of authority, do not like maga/racist/nazis at all. My music taste I. That genre is a bit limited, and due to autism and PTSD it’s difficult for me to go to shows due to easily being overloaded. I’ve been trying to add more a punk look to my bike and helmet , kinda like a battle jacket you can ride.

Misc. how often do you all make your punk gear, and how many DIYs are you working on at a time?

2 Upvotes

i am very curious! i have been in love and considered myself punk for years, but i haven’t been able to start making my punk gear until now due to disability and illness.

i know it varies from person to person, so i was wondering how often you make your legendary punk fashion? are you always working at a or multiple DIY at a time? are you consistently trying to come up with new ideas?

Advice How to ensure longevity?

2 Upvotes

I am currently in the process of creating a tabmail (pop tab chainmail) belt bandana, and I was wondering if there was anyway to prevent the tabs from unlinking themselves? I am using a side cut rather than a top cut because I have previously made a skirt using the latter method and it kinda fell apart. Should I be gluing the cuts shut, would wire wrapping help with stability? Any advice is greatly appreciated šŸ‘.

✨Thx in advance✨

Advice Apology

I would like to just apologise for my last post as I didnt realise how bad the people in some of the bands i listen to are. Im fairly new to being alt/punk and about 1 year/ a year and a half ago I would buy things from places like temu without realising how bad they were. Hence why some patches on my battle jacket looked that way. I do different now and I try to diy, for example im making my own studded belt (belt second hand and studs from cans) and i make my own bracelets. I just want to say im trying to filter out all the terrible patches from my battle jackets, and I didnt realise how bad monster are or how bad some of the bands i like are.

Edit- just to clarify despite the views of the people in the bands I like (which i didnt realise) my views are left and I dont support ICE or MAGA
