    what type of paint is everyone using for their jackets cuse mine keeps flaking off
  • Ashley

    you can use acrylic just fine, but it's best to put down a white base first,(i use cheapo spraypaint for this) otherwise the colours wont stand out as good. Also, it's best to put on a coating of clear shoe polish or weatherproofing wax from time to time to protect it
  • C.J !??

    Right now, im writing the words "normal is boring" on my studded denim jacket- ill have to post a picture of it on here one of these days

    So, my friend is popping out a child, and she asked me to make her a diaper bag. I used no pattern, and had no guidance (except from what I remember based after making my dogs back pack last year). It doesn't have a strap yet, but this is it. I should have used bonig, since it doesn't really want to keep it's shape.

  • chris keight

    heya what is the best sort of paint to use to paint A) an entire sleeve and B) the bits around the pockets
    also is there a easy way to get the spikes through the leather as the way i have been doing it is a bit tireing on the arms lol any help will be greatly apreciated

  • chris keight

    cheers mate thanks for your help is there a certain type of paint that is good or just ordinary spray paint for like graffitti that sort of spray paint

  • scumtriumphant

    to Toker - considering the nature of the slogan, surely making one yourself is most appropriate?

  • Alex Underwood

    ya know, i didnt really think this shit would actually take off like it did hahaha, shit is getting big, nice clothes everyone,

  • Phil the

    DIY discharge stencil

  • FullMetalFetus

    im honestly really terrible with sewing patches on. also can anyone tell me where to find thick thread and needles to get the bad ass stitch work? im just now sewing a patch on for the first time and it looks rather lame with small normal thread 

  • Eric

    As long as it holds on ..I sometimes make a zigzag sewing pattern and sow it again two or three more times depending on how weak/loose it feels.

  • scumtriumphant

    FullMetalFetus - lots of people use dental floss to sew them on, that might be more what you're looking for

  • FullMetalFetus

    hmmm ive heard of the floss method, ill try and give that a try. yeah i just did my sewing real close, its only half way stiched on lol

  • Alexandera Vanity

    hmm i'm thinking about making a shirt purley out of scraps of fabric i have have around and sow together with floss comments?

  • §̸̧̰̥̖̮́ͥ̋͢♅ͨ☭ͤ̾̃0░இ5ঊ◍6๑≴4থ⅋§

    Alexandrea, I've actually got a similar collection of scraps and such. I'm thinking I'm just gonna sew them all on to a vest until it's covered and looks tattered.

  • Anarchy

    how do you feel about children having child appropriate patched up clothes?

  • Emmmallee

    im making a dress out of squares cut out from old clothing, and then imma make plaid pants out of random plaid scraps, mostly held together by sippers and buttons.  interesting projects.

  • Drunken Punk

    oi oi @ catseatrats erm the best pain i used was some of that warhamer figurine paint stuff my mate does em and i randomly tried it to do a patch with and that stuff works amazing i used for a few patches on my jeans washed am a few times since i put the patches on and they still look as god as day one that stuff also works great for leather painting used it on my jacket about 2 years ago or more and i wear it everyday never needed a touch up

  • Drunken Punk

    o and i forgot to say yoou dont need stencil or wtv you can just paint it straight on the patch

  • Drunken Punk

    no worries share it to anyone that needs lol i wish sum1 told me took me fucking ages to find the right paints

  • Raven

  • scumtriumphant

    cool shoes

    also yeah, standard acrylic paint'll do fine for patches.  Personally I like stencilling cos it's easier to get a nice even finish to them but freehand should work fine

  • punkmonkey

  • punkmonkey

    Nothing wrong with stencils especially if you make your own

  • Belmans

  • §̸̧̰̥̖̮́ͥ̋͢♅ͨ☭ͤ̾̃0░இ5ঊ◍6๑≴4থ⅋§
