Don't know whether DIY or Margielas

>>8387064
That's fukken sikk m8
how'd you get it to turn out like that?

how hard is it to make a t shirt?

>>8387117
That's the basic pattern o a tie due but with bleach. Smh. My 12 year old sister could do that

>>8387117
Search youtube for "tie dye bleach"

>>8387129
Yeah, didn't say it was hard

>>8387120
How so? Actually making a shirt with "raw" fabric?

pic is not mine, but inspo'd me to do the same
should i just fold a black t in a spiral, tie with some bands and dip in bleach? will it look like pic?

>>8387171
Spiral would not look like that. Im not sure how to achieve this kind of look, but it's dope.

>>8387176
then help me think :^(

>>8387180
maybe tied up in a spiral then dye painted on with a brush on the edges that stick up?

>>8387133
> with "raw" fabric?
yes

>>8387186
it was done with bleach, that I know. thanks for the tip tho

can i make an ombre sweater like raf?

>>8387171
OP here, don't dip it. It will bleach too much fabric. For that look you'll need very concentrated bleach and a brush or something. (Since you want clean edges around the white areas). Not sure how to fold it though.

Oh and btw, It's unlikely that's been done with bleach, since the fabric on black shirts is usually orange/yellow.

See here for different patterns:

>>8387207
yes but its v hard to get it to come out even

>>8387210
white shirt dyed black then bleached maybe?

Can you give skinny jeans a decent drop crotch without adding fabric?

>>8387927
yup, that's probably it.

>>8388034
put foot in crotch
hold onto waistband
push and pull as hard as you can
please dont actually do this

no more DIY? : (

>>8386351
This is mine from the other thread
>>8387171
This looks sick af
>>8387288
Thanks for this link might try and do some of these later on this summer

>>8389390
Pretty kewl, I just dont dig the orange that comes out from black tees. I think I just did too many of them.

OP here, I have
>2 black shirts
>1 gray (those 50% polyester 50%cotton mix shirts)
>1 white
>1 dark purple

I also have:
>Bleach
>Black paint
>White paint

The white paint covers black shirts, and vice-versa.

What do? Suggestions? Inspo?

Thanks

Is it a bad idea trying to make a pair of pants from scratch with no pattern or experience?

Anyone ever make cologne?

It appears to be as simple as adding essential oils into and alcohol/water mix, but... how would they create top and base notes if everything just gets all mixed in there.

>pic related. making a counterfeit creed would be a fun place to start

>>8390793
Would rubbing alcohol work?

how can I do it myself?

>>8390802
>>8390814
Tapered cargo pants/shorts look really cool to me for some reason.
Also when are you going to make that YouTube video that shows how to taper pants? It would be really helpful.

>>8390913
i did it months ago, i posted the link for weeks on every DIY thread
https://mega.co.nz/#F!0Z9kzIpJ!LWdaYGBqf44uBJk8WD8hqg

the video is outdated but doesnt mean you cant follow it; it uses an old way to do it but easier. the new way i know is harder but perfect

>>8387191
there are two ways

cop the pattern and cut the fabric over it and sew it

buy a shirt and tear it apart from the seams a,d pay a lot of attention on every seam and piece, usually a regular shirt has 2 pieces and the 2 sleeves, then draw yourself the pattern and sew it back again and you can use the pattern to make new shirts

i made a vest the other day for my little sister, it isn't that hard, its just a matter of space imagination and ability to cut and sew, just remember to let some extra fabric on the seams for the flaps or,else it will tear apart

yes, but there are precise measurements for water:alcohol and essential oils.
I don't know to much about it though and am hoping someone who has done it or tried it before can chime in for us.

But look at this shit. An entire bottle of oil is only $3... fuauurk some is going to do this

>>8390959
WHAT THE FUCK.
Cologne recipes are a thing.
>https://sites.google.com/site/perfumerecipes/perfume-recipes-and-formulations/eh-a-pineapple-top-note-kick-like-creed-s-aventus
This is so happening now.
edit: essential oil prices kind of kill it...
this has been an emotional rollercoaster...

>>8390855
like a meter or two, i really don't know where you can cop fabric, maybe ask in a tailor or something like that

How hard would it be to sew a properly draping, long sleeved t-shirt? I was looking at some $150 shirt and i was sooo close to copping just to recreate..

>>8390909
I did mine by splattering black dye on a white t. I guess you can achieve the look you want by splattering in horizontal movements or smth

>>8390869
what sort of paint did you use?

That reminds me, I had these tees with brand logos in them so I did this to them.
"Raavas" was the name I came up with and sold the shirts I made at the time.

>>8391261
Hmmm sounds cool. Some pics or nah? I dunno how to achieve this shade of marbled grey on the white. The black veins I would do with feathers and brushes.

>>8393217
that's such a great idea, you are a genius

>>8393059
use spray paint, make sure you don’t use a glossy one, i did use glossy on few tees and it looks like plastics dark poop

I wanna make something vaporwave'y.

Ideas? Japanese type perhaps? Some geometrical shapes?

I only have black and white paint

guise i need help

i accidentally bought this tee a few months ago and i find the text a bit cheesy for my tastes.

i did some modifications in paint and have come up with three options (if you can convince me that the text isn't cheesy, that is)

please note that that's the front. since it's a jersey tee, shouldn't the numbers be at the back? has anyone modified a tee to be worn the opposite way?

>>8390994
how did you edit your post

>>8394943
Option 2

>>8394943
Take out S and add NE, and a K at the end. "An Frank"

Any tips on cutting holed in jeans to recreate the ones seen in higher end brands?
There was a DIY thread about it last week but I didn't save it

Would it be possible to cover the bottom right print on this t-shirt?

>>8396947
You could try getting a shirt sizes too big and then just using your amazing /diy/ sewing skills to cut that out and still make the shirt a good fit.
Most likely no chance with dyes or paint though.

>>8396947
with dye probably

its cool tho, cyrillic is aesthetic

>>8396953
Yeah I'll probably just try to hide it without modifying somehow.

>>8396954
The cyrillic says "Film Sjene", it's from a film project about the last days of Gavrilo Princip.
http://filmsjene.rs/podr%C5%A1ka-projekta.html#kupitemajicu

>>8396980
Oh yeah forgot to write that I did that in paint.net, I'll see what it looks like on skreened. If it's good enough I might cop it from myself instead of buying the film one, but I think the film one has a nicer texture to it and I'm too shit to do that myself.

That would also be fairly simple design to just print on your own, but the color would be just solid red most likely, I mean it's basically a ready stencil, you only need a single bridge.
Pic related, I'd just make a stencil out of it, bridge placement pictured.

I bought an adidas x bape mesh jersey that's pretty cool, but it's many sizes too big
I was thinking about cutting out the cool logo part and made cutting out an equal amount on an old tote bag I have and attaching it to make a see through mesh panel on it. But I feel like there's a high risk of faliure doing that, does anyone have any better idea's?

http://planb.annaevers.com/en/diy-blusa-con-estampado-de-marmol/

I'mma try this today on a tshirt

>>8397191
What's the plan exactly?
Like can you draw with paint how you would cut that? Also how does the material feel?
It doesn't look too sturdy so more than likely the tote would get rekt pretty fucking fast, I would attach some sort of stronger fabric behind that and then sew it to the tote bag myself, but that kinda ruins the mesh panel idea (which is pretty fucking cool honestly)

File: image.jpg (98KB, 640x480px)

98KB, 640x480px

>>8397250
I haven't thought it out very much
but I guess my plan would be to cut a rectanglular hole out of a black tote I have (or buy a cheap black backpack or something) and attach the cut out from the jersey on the inside either sewing it in or using fabric glue
the jersey material is fairly thin, but it feels pretty high quality and durable, I'm not too worried about it ripping

>>8397191
Heres a better idea, sell it to me. Size?

>>8397875
>but it feels pretty high quality and durable
If you feel like it's gonna work, go for it.
Cool idea with the see through mesh panel.

Probably don't remember this but about a week ago I asked about an idea of cutting the collar of an odd-fitting H&M t-shirt. I finally got round doing it, and I'm pretty happy with the result, fits more comfortable and I like the look of it better. Pic related. Not anything fancy but I like the outcome. Sorry for the faggy pose, don't have my stative to take pictures atm.

>>8398449
wow that looks so cool, nice job

bleach them or dye them black

>>8396993
rit dye works best with certain fiber contents (i forgot which though). there's other types of dyes like acid and fiber reactive, but again i don't remember what each is good for.

You don't necessary need a screen for it, granted you end up with slightly worse print and not as even layer of paint.
But yeah, it's totally option even though you don't have screen.

>>8409032
this is dope af mate
what was the original color of the hoodie?

>>8387064
how do you get that specific pattern? usually there would be completely white spots, but it looks like you poured bleach then somehow diluted it in the center to form an outline?

there you go. now you know how to make stencils for screen printing

>>8413603
assuming you centered it correctly and didn't use the cheapest paint they had how well does this method turn out?

>>8413062
Yep
>>8413468
Not the most effay one though

>>8413603
>>brush over the letters with the fabric paint making sure you get a good even coat
You can also get old sponge or piece of mattress or something similar and 'tap' the paint in, it gives pretty even layer of paint and is just plain fun to do.

>>8413420
with a knife/razorblade/seam-ripper you dingus

>>8413420
seam remover.
but do know that there will be punctures in the leather where the string currently is when you remove it.

Nope, I just tied it the same way you tie shirts for the classic "tie dye" look, and then applied some bleach with a bottle in a spiral.
