Anyone have any experience trying to DIY Raf Simons Sterling Ruby bleach jeans?
I have a spare pair of black Levi's lying around and nothing to do with them
The only thing I'm debating is how I would get the platter, I feel like I shouldn't go Jackson Pollack with bleach all over my floor

>>9519889
hahahahahahaha

>>9519757
put down plastic wrap first

then get some bleach

mix it with water

grab a paintbrush, cup, spoon maybe

go nuts

>>9519910
whats so funny anon

>>9519889
>>9520104
They kind of look like pyjamas now.
Sorry to break it to you, seems like you put much work into them.

>>9519889

Are you going for JoJo core?

>>9519889
I would try and clean up the edges a little more, I can see some sort of white stitching or something around the new collar

>>9521637
originally this http://www.joesnewbalanceoutlet.com/detail.asp?style=MT410BK
just found lying around and are very comfy thinking of readding 2 N's to one side each

>>9521682
didnt mean to quote >>9521637 sorry

>>9519889
w/e man fuck the haters thats dope - now make the trousers shorter

>>9521613
JoJo-core is becoming a thing now

>>9519889
Taper the pants, go full Johnny

>>9519749
Anyone got more customized denim jackets inspo? Really dig the whole patch/ripped aesthetic but most of the time it looks like shit (see trash metal vests).

>>9519757
I've done black chucks a bunch of times and it was pretty easy to get them to come out similar to those jeans
I did it in the shower
Make sure you wash them out quickly when they reach the color you want so you don't over-stress the fabric

any tips on diying paint splatter GATs?
pretty simple but anyway

>>9522049
test for color-fastness between the leather and the paint. you could do this in small amounts on the inside lining, just to see if the paint adheres well and retains its color.

once you have an appropriate paint, wrap parts of the shoe you don't want affected in painters tape or gauze or something like that

lay down some cardboard or parchment on the floor and do some test flings and drips to practice getting a satisfactory result. once you've got that down, put your wrapped shoes on the parchment and go to town.

make sure to wear clothes and shoes you don't care about and u mite want a painter's smock or a kitchen apron.

let the paint on the shoes dry. then spray a few coats of clear fixative over them. let each coat dry before applying the next.

planning on doing some diy converse x margiela painted chucks soon...

pic related. the guy did it with some black shoes. looks pretty cool in a picture but im really wondering what it would look like in real life.

>>9519749
Im doing such a jacket right now!
Went to this

>>9523837
From this

>>9523837
you ruined it

>>9519749
look at the tag, think youll have a pretty good laugh =)

>>9523837
really good

>>9523857
thanks

One of the coolest diy jackets I've seen.

>>9523015
here are mine. i think they turned out pretty well and look nice and grungy

>>9523885
Looking good bro

>>9523837
What did you use to bleach it? I have some pants I want to bleach and dye a lighter color but I'm pretty afraid of damaging the fabric.

>>9523837
super cool
also interested as to how you did this

>>9523015
>>9523885
How do you do it?

>>9523857
>>9523958
>>9523968
Thanks
It's pretty simple!
I bought four bottles of pic related, and filled a bucket with three of them, no water added.
I then let it rest in it for aprox five hours or so (turning the jacket around every now and then) But it was still really blue. A lighter shade but no where near white. So i decided to wash it in the washingmashine with half a bottle of Danclorix added where you usually put the powder/gel. I did this 2 times, but i still wasnt pleased. I put it back in the bucket and left it there for over a day (moving the jacket every now and then again) till it looked that way.
I washed it three times, but there is still a slight chlorine smell in it. Maybe it takes another day al fresco (wtf dict.cc?) till that is gone.
I don't know if the washing maschine part was necessary in the aftermath, since it didnt change the shade all to much, but maybe it loosened the molecules, haha, no idea.
Oh, and it seems like the bleach works best around the first inch above the liquidlevel. Seems like it needs Oxygen to react, but I'm no chemist.

The stitching around the bottonholes is still slightly blue, but thats no big deal for me.

>>9524022
ur going 2 die when you put that jacket on

>>9524021
mine were initially regular converse with black canvas. i then painted them with 2 coats of red acrylic paint. Then I painted with 1 coat of white acrylic. Then I wore them for a year. Then I painted them with another coat of white acrylic and have been wearing them for a couple months since then.

Is the guy that did these on?
Would you mind explaining your process?

>>9523837
bleach destroys fabric. That jacket is going to start falling apart very very quickly

DIY threads are the greatest

I'm gonna thrift a leather jacket and paint words onto it. Something like this, but a different message.

Anyone know what sort of paint I should use?

>>9526409
leather paint

I don't have it done yet due to wind, but within the next few days I'm planning on painting something on the back of a plain black zip hoodie. I'm thinking of something like Composition London or Tableau 2 kind of style.

Copped a flecktarn parka a while back but it's too big.
Is there anything I can do to it?

>>9523863
mad spergy

when will people realize that concept art does not a good garment make?

i bought these hilfiger pair at 16 usd some months ago in a thrift store but have only used them twice so far since i'm not a big fan of the cream color, i was painting the dark green details with a black sharpie and then remembered that i can dye them.

Should I? If so what color would look good on them?

>>9526703
you're better off to attack them with a bunch of cans of spraypaint

>>9526561
You could try dying it black

It'd yield a siqq oversized parka

>>9519749
Did you run that over with a lawnmower?

>>9524891
He said he dipped them
In gesto paint.

>>9523849
What exactly did you do?

>>9527049
Gesso paint.

Any good embroidery tips? Gonna embroider this on the pocket of a tee tonight or tomorrow.

>>9519757
This interests me too. I wonder if it would be easy to get the same color with just normal off shelf bleach or if this is requires some different ingredients. Not familiar with doing that sort of thing

>>9519757

>>9529436
Noooo don't mix bleach and vinegar lol
You could get fucked up dude.

I just baked my shoes for 15 min in the oven on a low heat will post results

>>9529450
What should this do?

>>9529475
could change the color
could cause peeling or glue to come apart

all sorts of stuff rly, depends on materials and construction

>>9529504
>>9529450
So? What happened?

>>9529603
I assume he burned his house down.

>>9519889
bottom of the pants look stupid, jacket doesn't go with them, shirt is tragic

>>9529444
What do you suggest?

>>9526561
heres what i'm planning to do with mine
bleach it like the other couple of jackets in this thread
then screen printing some designs and using fabric spray paint to put some text on it
might put the prints onto extra fabric i have and then sew them onto the jacket like raf simons poltergeist season

>>9529920
Just bleach it!
Vinegar and bleach will kill you man

>>9529650
Holy shit, it all makes sense now. Dick Ovens puts Converse in an oven...and out pop geobaskets.

What can I do with a pair of old black derbies?

>>9529436
that's not /fa/ of you :(

>>9526409
>>9526464
or acrylic, or heck sharpie. It's a thrift jacket.

>>9531148
see
>>9524891

>>9527120
I want you to succeed

>>9524891
What are some good shoes to use for these? Budget is pretty low. Would Doc 1461's work?

>>9531484
Shit nvm, just checked the price tags on those.

W2c black derbies for gesso dipping at around $40-$60?

>>9531507
Asos

i dyed it

>>9523837
Progress so far

>>9532595
I hate that it looks like a women's jacket. But I also love it.

Bump

So i ripped a spot near the elbow on my merino black sweater and I wanted to give it an old raf/punk vibe... Any idea?

>>9533614
Put a patch on it. Like a canvas patch

>>9533619
Yea that's what I thought too... What I'm asking is suggestion for patches

>>9533641
I really like the way canvas looks.

>>9533656
Anyone have a sewing machine?

>>9521682
Jeez, wash your keyboard

>>9530426
Noted.

>>9534609
Yeah

>>9534609
Yep
It's awesome

Bump
Does anyone have that guys jacket that he made by hand? The white bomber

>>9519757
I wonder how black the jeans should be for this. Like normal black denim or like solid black denim

>>9533656
what about something round? I would prefer it round since I have to put it on an elbow

This thread could potentially be the worst thing I have ever seen on 4chan.

>>9536397
How so?

>>9519749
>this is /fa/
>this is what he thinks is /fa/

I love making my own clothes, mostly denim and leather jacket/vest, ive also started patching pants too

>>9519889
you made it worse

Am I edgy yet

>>9536730
You made this jacket? How?? >>9537075
I like it man. What'd you use for the patch? Is it canvas?

I have my old flecktarn that I never wear. Thinking about dying it white if possible cause I don't need another black parka. Anyone think I'd work?

>>9537179
It should depending on the material.
Just bleach it i guess

>>9537179
Never use straight bleach! Dilute that shit

>>9537089
I studded it with metal hardware, painted on back with acrylic paints. Used a wood awl to poke holes in leather for stud prongs

Back

>>9521601
>>9521735
>>9521771
Literally just altered the jacket.........I just changed pants..........
>>9529664
This isn't a waywt you mongoloid

Olive Green to Off-white through bleaching.

Took around 5 or 6 bleaching sessions, and hot water in between, waited for about a week.
Luckily it's pretty resistant.

Looks dope af, but still feel there's something missing.

I'm not fan of patches, though.

>>9538389
What's the material in that jacket? I was thinking about doing this with my german military parka

>>9538389
Did you just straight up dunk it in bleach? How did you do it?

>>9519757
Does anyone know how one would get this yellow color instead of white?

Ima do this soon

my backpack is full of cringy high school marker writing (pentagrams, based god, etc) but it's got a perfect amount of sun bleach to it where it looks grey / worn out like pic related. I was thinking about bleaching it, or doing something to remove the marker or make it less obvious. wat do?

>>9540000

This is exactly the look i'm trying to go for in the summer.

what i got so far. im still working on both of them.

i kinda botched the heart stitching and am gonna redo it, and im probably going to taper the jeans some more, but its not too bad

>>9540000
Try dabbing the marker with rubbing alcohol. Worst case scenario it won't do anything, best, it'll get rid of it

>>9538568
Reminder to preserve the flag patches if you do it.

>>9539335
bleach makes black, yellow not white.

Gonna put some conchos/tassels down the side of my old black jeans like Biff Byford used to for a festival I'm going to in July

This is a little something i did out of boredom using my old baggy Wrangler pants - i hand them slimmed down and tapered, i cut the knee areas and added some patches and rips here and there.

This is my first time ever modifying clothes, so i know this is extremely amateur-looking, but i wanted to show it to you guys anyway. I'll propably add more patches in the future.

cheers

>>9541786
what base bp?

>>9541786
that backpack is seriously cool

>>9542200
Thanks.

I just came home from a 5000km roadtrip from the US and brought city,state, national park and monument patches. I plan on either ironing/sewing them on to something. Probably a denim jacket, maybe a denim shirt or even a white tshirt.
Denim might be too cliché, but I would do it in a "ironic" way it will probably be more of a souvenir than an actual piece of cloth that I will be wearing.
Any advice on wether I should go for denim or not ? Sewing, ironing ?

>>9542200
Not actually. Bleach makes black go through a spectrum of colors depending on how much you use, but chances are you'll end up with orange or yellow, white requires a lot.

>>9542569

it started out as a random adidas bookbag( you can faintly see the outline poke through the patch above the heart)

over the span of a year it has faded a shit ton though.

i couldnt find an exact model name but thats basically what it is.

What sort of paint do I need to paint on a canvas bag? Not planning to get detailed at all, but I don't want it to wear off too fast.

>>9542672
acrylic is the easiest option

>>9541786
i like it, but yeah i agree the heart could use some work.

which levis are those? 511?

>>9542679
Cool, will try.

>>9542686

jeans are 511's

Hey /fa/. I bought these sneakers from H&M for 25 dollars for the sole purpose of fucking them up. Any cool DIY ideas?

>>9542804

>>9542804

throw them on concrete and scuff the shit out of them

>>9519749
Hi!

The blue circle is oil paint. It doesn't stick as well as acrylic which is how I got the nice washed look.

I have some other projects I may post this week if you like this!

>>9542863
ahhhh that circle looks so s1k. do you think watercolor would have a similar effect?

>>9542804
they are giving one person all 50 pairs wtf

>>9542870
probably not, as I believe the pigment would soak directly into the fabric, making more of a stain
it might do weird stuff if it gets rained on though
might be cool

>>9542887
worth a shot m8 :))

>>9542884
What?

>>9542870
Water color wouldn't be permanent. Would need to be oil or acrylic!

>>9542863
Please do.

>>9542902
sheeit ok thanks dude. i have a ton of acrylic/watercolor paint at home but i dont want to waste my oils

>>9542529
You look ridiculous

>>9532595
This is so awesome, I love it!

>>9542928
Can you post a fit of yours please

>>9537209

great band
cool jacket

should i use rubber cement as a base before painting on denim? i read somewhere that it stops the paint from cracking

>>9542863
do you listen to baths

>>9543061
I will when I get home tonight :)

>>9543259
I've never heard of them! Pretty much exactly my jacket though. I got asked if it were a Germs logo too, but this is so much closer.

How can I turn a regular crew neck into an open neck or u-neck tee? Only thing I can't really figure out on my own is how to sew a new collar after I've cut the opening.

All the guides and tutorials I can find are for cutting fuckhuge opening for girls shirts.

>>9532145

turned out wavy man good stuff!

>>9532595
i really like the black stitching detail

>>9536730
japanese punk/10 not my style personally but attention to detail is great

>>9537075
this kinda stuff would have me laughing forever in real life. depending on what else you wear this could be really cool.

>>9542529
this is really cool in that you used corduroy pants. add some more to it and this could turn out dope

>buy black high top adidas sneakers
>cut off velcro straps
>replace black laces with superlong white laces and tie around ankle
i made poor man's geos/ramones

>dye bundeswehr parka with two bottles of black rit
shit came out purple

>take remove before flight keychain from alpha industries parka
>put it on uniqlo bomber
holy shit i'm so diy

>>9543726
doesn't sound very viable

i understand this is a DIY thread, but why can't you just buy one?

>>9543752
thats just being cheap, like theres no creativity or personality there

>>9543294
Ok cool (:

>>9543752
I actually wanna see what those high top adidas look like lmao.

>>9543758
I can, but I have plenty of crew necks I don't care about. Could you explain why it isn't viable?

your thoughts? go easy on me

>>9543752
can you post pics of the first one?

>>9543765

2nded, most adidas are super guady so idk what model would look best
i have tried to alter shoes in the past, but honestly they are pretty difficult to do anything with

these where my first attempt on shoes that i would never wear, and it ended up looking even worse, but i did like the effect created on the soles when i scraped them with steel wool brush

>>9537092
sharp.
is it drawn or printed?

>>9526409
see this

>>9543759
???

>>9543765
>>9543783
>>9543792
pic related
adidas slvr
not a flattering angle

>>9543792
those look ok post-op

Bleached these brown shoes that my mother bought me like 3 years ago. Was hoping they would come a clean white but I almost like the creamish color more.

>>9543856
neat

>>9543856
Now rip off the tag with a seam ripper and paint the grommets white

>>9543726
You asked this in the last thread.

You just take a pair of shears and fucking cut it off. It's not hard.

>>9543829
O dam those are like a cross between diet butcher slim skins and ramones. Actually looks pretty good for what it is lol. If only the laces didn't fall so much.

>>9542632
If you're gonna do it on a t-shirt, pick a high quality one, not a Hanes tee that will lose its shape after a few washes.

>>9543856

How did you bleach your keyboard?

anyone have any idea for these clown shoes?
bought it a few years ago for super cheap and haven't worn them

>>9544102
I was literally just about to post the exact same shoes, with the exact same problem what the fuck

(I've considered bleaching them, would be way nice with a washed out red.)

>>9544109
i've considered bleaching them as well, my second thought was spray/painting them

>>9544102
Dip them in gesso paint so they get paint cracks with red showing through like the MMM converse

>>9544097
underrated toast

>>9544102
spraypaint them black and chuck black laces in them and then you have a pair of semi-acceptable shoes

>>9544097
lol'd

>>9530404
I tried bleaching it, but it didn't bleach a single bit after more than 12 hours in the bleach.
Maybe the material is too thick to be bleached. It bleached the pockets and drawstrings though

>>9543867
>Only thing I can't really figure out on my own is how to sew a new collar after I've cut the opening.
>You just take a pair of shears and fucking cut it off. It's not hard

Ok.

I have this dark grey parka and I want to make it black. What's the best course of action here? I'm not home so I'll take pictures later. I just want to know what's the best paint I can use to dye it black. The parka also has white wool inside

>>9543809
Sharpie

>>9543741
Jpn punk is wat i was goin for. Ty

>>9543111
Ive painted my posted jackets an ive nvr herd that nor think it would work

>>9543776
man thats real fucking nice actually

>>9543829
actually looks pretty dope

>>9527120
fuck yes, don't have any tips for you, but this would be amazing

>>9543776
Real neat.
Where'd you get the patch?

I have matching pants

>>9546977
And DIY stuff is only hardcore if you incorporate your own body and get bad tattoos to tie the outfit together

>>9546982
I wanna hate, but I like it.

My first Henley. Still have to finish the neck and the bottom hem, and put buttons in it. It was a nice exercise to get acquainted with my new serger.

>>9543856
do you live in a pantry?

also did bleaching your shoes send you back in time?

>>9546977
How did you do the pants?

I must have those.

thoughts on this as a T shirt concept? I will use fabric marker if I do it.

>>9548066
They are Levis I bleached. I found a wooden block stamp of a flower and used acrylic paint to stamp flowers all over. I then put a large dart starting at the center of the knee down the center of the front of the pants, taking them in about 3in.

>>9548175
Is this inspired by Matisse? I like

>>9546977
>taking in the front

wtf are you doing

>>9543726
Find an approximate size you want the opening to be and mark it with either something easily washed out or a half inch closer than you really want the collar. Cut it with scissors that won't leave a jagged edge and then look up rolled hems and you should be able to handle it.

>>9548339
Making an interesting looking pant. Looks cool, and given the fabric has elastic content, it shouldn't be inconvenient.

>>9546977
Where's the jacket fit?? :((

>>9548359
I see your reasoning but idk if that looks interesting

just looks amateur to me m8

your call tho

>>9519749
Hello my diy friends,

I've got an velour leatherjacket in blue which I don't like.
I'm artistic enough to think about something cool to put on or make with it.
But I don't like it blue. now my question: Can I get it white white?

Studding. Blk painted denim.

>>9537209
damn, having the GISM and Voivod both on the left side instead of the middle is really odd. but i like it, studs a really nice too man.

>>9549954
looking good. going to start a new jacket soon. got a huge load of studs, just need a denim jacket. planning to just paint the logo of Life at the bottom and stud the rest of the back. kinda wanna try making a vest without a backpatch for once.

So I've lost alot of weight and now all my shirts don't fit. They are very baggy.

Is there a way to get them to my size, in the waist and chest?

Also i have stick arms so is there a way to make it to where my sleeves aren't 3 times as big as needed?

>>9549996
Ty, and yes, ditch the patch. I was thinking of doing a blank back or generic art on mine. Or disorder, sliced punks on meathooks

>>9550003
Just buy new stuff unless you can tailor it yourself.

>>9550003
lift

>>9549996
Post you crust pants

>>9550008
its going to be my 4th jacket, kinda wanna try diffrent things with all of them, got one pretty generic one, fiew patches. one thraser style fully covered one, and another simple one with studded shoulders. got the idea to go without backpatch when i started the last one. but already ordered a backpatch at that time.
thingking of making a really simple japanese harcore tribute jacket. fewer bands, and loads of studs.

>>9540000
>>9541786
my backpack is kinda a combination of both of yours. wrote loads of shit on it when i was in school, now its full of bands i dont even listen to anymore. the zipper broke a few years back, so replaced it with one from another bag (already trashed). just cut it out and sewn it over the old zipper, and then patched it up a bit around it to make it a bit stronger.
looks terrible, but can't really part with it.

>>9550067
what else do you know about me?

>>9550086
Its all about jpn hardcore an tribute in my opinion. Really like deviated instinct and antisect s looks

>>9550091
You hate American hardcore. Ill post mine wen i get home

>>9550029
ps, how did you paint it? know someone who used shoe polish, looked the same as your jacket. probably gong to try and dye my new one agian. dyed my last jacket dark brown, and turned out this really cool black/brownish collor.

>>9550109
I used mid grade non water based acrylic in a tube, 2 big tubes. Sponge brushed. Ive also used rubberized spray sealant looks mad max as fuxx

>>9550095
love that look aswell mate. sadly its not that populair. especialy the style of crust pants bands like Deviated Instinct have. these days to many people walk around in pants completely covered in band logos. honesly already think mine have to many band patches on it.

>>9550097
kinda right there. i like Infest and some PV bands. but not the Minor Thread, DK, Black Flag stuff.
are you the guy with the Antisect patch on his pants? or the one with the Gauze saw earlier this week?

did the butt of my pants last week. left that untouched for quite some time since i was lazy, didnt use the pockets so i got rid of them

>>9550132
Hahs, nice slax, niether, i do have gauze on my old pair tho. And yes Look like f1 race cars sponsored lol
All blk, post apoc crust. Start a band with me anon.

>>9549417
Please

>>9550150
>>9550150
allright. look forward to seeing it then.
hellyeah, i cant play an instrument, but that never really stopped anyone. can i be on bass? ;)

>>9550260
You can be what ever u want, we can be like that postal service band and send it thru ta mail

Older blk pair

Dnt fit no more levis 505 took in the sides with sinew

And one pair blu Levis im building for a friend

>>9549417
Anybody?

>>9550579
Waht does the tag say its made of? Is it shell and liner?

>>9550475
these are sexy. nice Amebix patch.
you used leather?

>>9550483
thats a pretty big hole my friend.

The tag is not on anymore and I don't know what shell or liner is.

But it's real calf leather and the quality is cheap as fuck

>>9550717
Ty, yessir, leather jacket sleeves, had to use a special needle.

I dnt wear those no more, took a piece off.

>>9550725
If its real leather you can make it white with multi coats of good quality acrlyic paint. The ones in tubes. It will crack eventuallt tho. Or you could use like that air brush Or like aerosol car paint ive seen cover leather up, im not sure what brand they used tho. But that's what id suggest.

>>9550811
Good Idea, thank you very much

>>9543726
have a sexy jagged edge man

would there be a way to dye my odessas' all black. without it looking like shite? Thinking just a standard black dip dye could do the trick.

Guys i think zach hill is the one with the painted white derbies

>>9552083
I like those socks my man w2c?
And also those shoes look nice! I wouldn't change them tbh.

>>9546977
How did you do this to your pants?

So I've got an interview coming up soon, and my dress shirts minus one are far too big for me on the arms and torso. Is this easy enough to alter with my sewing machine? Kinda at a loss on how to fix it.

>>9552256
I got you man

>>9552270
Life saver and career starter. Thanks man.

>>9552290
No problem!
And hope it goes well!

>>9542804
dip dye?

>>9532595
damn that has some personality to it

>>9544097
kek

>>9548361
Best I could do right now!

>>9532595

what do you guys think about these jean i added embroidery to?

>>9553149

>>9552681
I got a long way to go hahah
That looks so cool

>>9553156
Did you do it by hand?
And it looks pretty cool man

LOL

>>9552235
I'd love for it to be true but they don't look the same
of course the paint could have worn off a lot since posting but I'm skeptical

>>9552674
the right shoulder stitching that makes it look sorta quilted, how did you do that?

just a straight stitch on a sewing machine or is there more to it?

>>9552235

What am i doing?

>>9555747
just cover the entire thing in paint. I wouldn't have used a red pair but you already started so just do it.

I have a white polyester jacket with a plasticky finish to it that I want to make black or maybe olive. It's my understanding that dyeing polyester is a pain in the arse so would I use acrylic paint?

>>9555778

>>9555821
makes me want cupcakes.

>>9555747
>painting on canvas
IT WILL NOT CRACK NICELY.

>>9555821
hold up i think you should stop that looks pretty crazy and weird and could end up looking dumb quickly if you continue

>>9555866
This!

>>9555821
Thin that stuff out mane

>>9555821

tfw too poor for ccp

>>9555913
>>9555924
do your parents know you ruined your nice red sneakers? they work hard to buy things for you

>>9552235
How would i go for it? Like spraypaint it or use acrylic??

>>9555924
>>9555913
>>9555821

what kind of paint are you using?

>>9555945
he used gesso

>>9555913
>>9555924
not too bad. i'd use black dye to paint the red black though.

>>9555924
Why didn't you take out the laces omg

>>9544925
Check out this site:
http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/howtodye.shtml
pretty good advice with different materials

>>9555969
To keep the form of the shoe.

>>9555958
Isnt gesso like primer?

>>9555924
which CCP you going for?

How to acid wash/distress a sweater like the one in me pic?

>>9556025
i wouldn't even dare to put that on :s
looks nice tho

sorry, i have no idea regarding your question

>>9556030
yeah, it looks like it would fall apart in two seconds but still such a cool design

>>9538389
i REEALLY like what you did with this looks DOPE AS FECK

>>9555924
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
MAKE SURE YOUR USING A LATEX BASED PAINT
OR THAT SHIT WILL CHIP AND LOOK HOBO-CORE AS FECK

>>9556058
It is not paint. Its acrylic sealant.

>>9555241
yeah i did it by hand its pretty easy though if you guys wanna do it just use tapestry needles ($1-2) and embroidery floss ($0.30), mine was cotton cord

Destroy It Yourself thread, lol
But Converse Chuck Poell >>9555924 are nice.
Tried anyone to make something neat and interesting? One-piece leather wallet (ma+ for inspire), for example, or maybe full-patch pants like pic.

>>9556129
We already posted our crust pants

>>9555218
Just carry around some needle and thread and fuck ur shit up on the bus Dawg. You'll get there in no time.

>>9555370
I backed the shoulder with two layers of gauze and one layer of a light cotton with a flower print. Used a ruler and tailors chalk to grid out a quilted pattern and pinned the layers in place, and then top stitched it along the guidelines with my Singer

>>9556203
thanks!

I like that detail, may replicate it on something

>>9556181
still waiting for more crust pants though.

>>9556203
How did you do the print in your pants?

>>9556098
Looks sick man I like it

call me a retard but can anyone tell me some sites where DIY clothes like these are sold?

>>9556377
etsy?

>>9556377
>buying DIY clothes

wh-what?

>>9544097
lmao

>>9556025
Use a combination of bleaching the shirt (with LOTS of bleach) and washing. Repeat until holes show up, then never wash again.

>>9552681
I wish I had a stash of weirdo fabrics to patch with. Maybe I need to raid a quilter's trash or something.

>>9519749
:)
old apc jeans to crust jeans
torn apart WTAPS vans used for materials
the remainders of the WTAPS are not supposed to be practical or anything, I just thought they were funny

>>9556529
laziness

>>9556583
those shoes sure are interesting...

>>9556583
post a picture where we can actually see the jeans and more importantly post a picture of those shoes

>>9553149
That gave me an idea.

So recently I got skinny and my shirts are baggy.

Would embroidering patterns crunch the fabric together? Like on the left pant leg.

>>9555747
what are you doing?

I kinda like this diy style, but I don't know how I feel about full crust i think that's what it's called

like a few patches with a logo and the franken stein stitching. like >>9550717 look nice.
but things like >>9550475 look a little trashy and I don't know if it'll be percived as "he so punk, fuck american consumer culture." or if it'll be "wtf is that a garbage can?"

>>9548175
Please, don't worry, next time I'm home, I'll still be the same

How to get into this style slowly?

>>9556791
I feel like any other way than slowly would be bad. just start with ripped jeans and maybe distressed tee's over regular tees

>>9556605
but it isn't diy if you bought it that way. You didn't do it yourself.

>>9556605
yeah dude, you have to put your personality into it. Can't buy someone elses personality or it'll look bad.

How about non-punk diy shit?
Is this achievable?

>>9527120
Use an embroidery hoop to prevent the fabric from puckering to complete shit. This step can really help to make it look more polished and miles better so long as your stitches are decent. Learning various stitch types (e.g. chain stitch, straight stitch, satin stitch etc) and experimenting with them can help with creating the look you're after. be prepared to sacrifice a lot of time for this.

Anyone modified white high converse before?
Planning on filing/sanding the sole pinstripe off, and spraypainting or sharpieing the back stripe black. will it turn out fine, any better options?

(I like the look of the x cdgs but cant pay double the price for a heart i don't like. im getting the 1970 model, first-string if i can find it even)

>>9556829
yeah. look at etsy. it's almost all marketed as girly diy stuff

>>9556829
I'm not sure, I think anything that challenges the "every thing must be perfect" mentality can be considered punk.

However I think you can mix these fashions or add small elements of diy into other fashions

.I'm trying to find away to mix "nerd" and diy.

>>9556726
i'll get better pictures tomorrow, i am about to go to sleep.
for now, take these

>>9556726
i'm also planning on creating my own dress from a concept i've had for nearly 2 years soon
as well as a t shirt too

>>9556912
wtf am i looking at O_O

>>9556756
Ive literally have had some dood walk up to me to ask if duct tape were holding my pants together

Also full crust is accept able

>>9556932
I think the problem with crust is that. You look like either you're homeless, or a punk traveling the country side from gig to gig.

and I don't feel I can live up to those prejudices.

I think I want to paint a pair of shoes white. I have pic related around, should I even bother with these?

>>9537092

ewww. nice sharpie.

>>9556730
yes just make sure to make the stitches tight, post some pics too

>>9524891
apparently those are zach hill of deathgrip's shoes

effay

>>9557092
it looks like plaster lmao

>>9519757
I've done it with jean shorts before, you just have to kind of splatter it with a paint brush and your gloved hands

>>9556947
i had someone throw money at me one time. tried te tell the guy but he ran off before i could give it back.. feels pretty bad.
a friend of me had the same thing happening once.

the whole trainhopping crusties thing is nonexistend in europe, so no one will ever confuse me with that. there are some hitchhikers, but not heard much about those ether.

>>9558689
People will give free money for dressing homeless?
I might get into this.

Funny part is I look like a stereo typical jew.

>>9556947
>>9558689
We call them oogles in murica. Its a bad look, i dont get the attraction to trains

>>9558734
http://imgur.com/gallery/5lic3
i think its the not caring and living in the moment mentality that is attractive to a lot of people. your only possesions are the clothes on your body and your only worry is where you are going to sleep tonight

>>9558783
No. Not that. I have a job.

>>9558783
I wouldn't mind that for a year or so. Long as I had friends to do it with, and a reason, be it existential crisis, of booking it from one coast to another, or just out of necessity.

>>9556837
idk but that sounds cool, post method please

>>9558822
All oogles ive known are sign flyers

>>9558824
what's that mean?

>>9558845
They stand on side of street with a piece of cardboard that sez gimmie monies
