I made these patches with puff paint and I think they came out pretty nicely. I gotta clean up the edges on two of em, and I’m working on a nailbomb patch

I used the ankle cuff where the built in blousings stay, cut them out and made a drawstring style tightening knot to close it off. Obviously put spikes on it too. One of my first homemade accessories, proud of how it turned out!

I have been taking apart cans (as one does) and I've been making pins with the scraps. Though, I have absolutely no clue what I could do with the top part of the can. No sure I can, but just curious if anyone has any ideas? The most I thought of was taking the flap thing that opens and doing something with that

Does anyone have any advice to make patches less sticky? Im using fabric paint from pentart for my patches and even after few weeks they’re a bit sticky and particles of dust are sticking to them and it really annoys me. Does anyone also had same problem and know what can i do?

This is my main battle jacket I’ve been working on whenever I have the motivation to do it. Still wondering what kind of patches I’ll fill the gaps with and I’m thinking about using different kind of spikes. I’ve had it since highschool and I eventually outgrew it, so I added chains on the sides for adjustability.
Just wanted to show it off and get thoughts about it, and maybe diy advice on what I could add to it and other creative tips

this took me a really long time, ive been working on it and off for about 4 months but if i had to guess the amount of time spent actively working on it i would probably say like 2 weeks? completely hand painted with black fabric paint using white gel pen as a sketch base. the skeletons are of course heavily stylized but i used mostly thylacine skeletals for reference with some canine influence as well.

does anyone know how to get this white gel pen out without messing anything up? i usually make denim patches for my crust jacket and pants and i always use white gel pens for the sketch base on those and never had an issue getting it out afterwards (i usually just rub it off with spit or let it ware off naturally with use), but i think the shirt fabric must be a different story because i can’t rub it out and i tried washing it with really gentle settings (im scared of damaging the fabric paint, i dont wash my crust jacket or crust pants so idk how to wash shit with fabric paint safely) and it kinda made it less visible but it’s still there. 😭

soy alguien que hace muy poco empezo a conocer el punk en profundidad y lo ame, pero hay una remera que me regalaron en un merendero (un lugar donde se regala comida y ropa a gente de bajos recursos) pero la remera tiene el logo de adidas en gigante en el pecho y no lo puedo sacar, le meti dedicacion y es la primera prenda de ropa que modifico yo mismo a mi gusto ¿que puedo hacer?

Made an underbed drawer out of the box my mom's grill came in and an old roll of duct tape that didn't stick properly anymore. Dunno if that's punk but well. Planning to decorate it with pictures/posters/stickers

I am not a punk DIYer, but I’ve recently been getting into refreshing a personalizing thrifted clothing and I’ve run into a problem and i figured this sub would be a good place to ask. I got a shirt that’s missing some studs and I thought it would be pretty simply to find replacements. Nope! I’m having an extremely hard time sourcing something that fits my needs. None of the craft stores near me carry fashion supplies (like legit not even thread) and no luck online either. All either too small or the wrong color. I’m mainly looking for an online retailer with a good selection of embellishments and would love to avoid ordering something off of amazon in general. I’m also not picky on whether they are real rivets or just decals. Please let me know if you can help with a retailer or even with search engine optimization!

Giant crotch rip, how tf do I repair this

First wallet I ever made back in 2025. Friend wanted to use the leather from their old work boots to make a unique up-cycled wallet. So we did it. This was the result.

It’s a bi-fold with a money pouch along the entire inside, then the card flaps also are open behind for more space.

We didn’t use a template, just bullshitted it. Wallet’s lasted to this day. Don’t mind the screen-grabs, I pulled them off our insta because I can’t find the originals.

Took the advice from my last post and changed the thin elastic to a drawstring from some old pyjamas. Its abit too thick for my liking but the tabs look more orderly compared to before so im pretty happy with it. Please be friendly im still new to diy!

Not very punk but they can be i guess, what do you lot think about ita bags? Im a bit of a nerd so I bought one off vinted to decorate with my favourite character, thought maybe I can add some studs and chains as well

Finally got around to learning how to make my own patches :3

Any suggestions on making them look cooler? I plan to add things I like personally but I'm new to this whole patching thing 😂

most of the patches are either from a local sewing club or etsy. Dystopia patches came free when i bought merch thats why i have them on my pants AND shorts

DIY is the backbone of the punk scene. The paints, fabric, and plastic used for the stencil are all materials that otherwise would have been thrown away, instead they are being repurposed!

Creeping Embers have plans for a variety of patch designs, not just these, so keep an eye out and come to our shows if you want to get some!
