How to make DIY punk patches

[@Sunk_Punk]

Thanks for this video, now i have made around 10-20 patches. Really easy to do too, i skipped using a printer cause it's much cheaper to just draw the band logo off my computer screen.

[@Dandelions]

Cool to see this. I did this a lot about 20 years ago. In my experience, using acetate sheets (cheap at any craft store) makes great reusable stencils that will provide crisp lines. Another thing to grab while at the craft store is "textile medium", which gets mixed with any acrylic paint and will make it more flexible and durable. If you're broke or agoraphobic like me, you can mix hair conditioner with acrylic paint to acheive similar results. "Heat setting" will also prolong the life of your work. I do this by placing a paper bag over the print area and ironing it (after its dry). This melts the acrylic paint into the fibers of your fabric.

[@CalmKore]

I didnt know the conditioner thing! Ive been using fabric softer + acrylic mix, but I might try conditioner to see what works better

I use sharpie to clean up paint bleeds on black fabric, it works if you layer it up a bit (otherwise it can look blue over white paint)

[@sweetestcyanide]

nga ! Damn, great idea! I’m going to try that.

Or you could go over it with a detail brush with black paint

it's like the manufactured ripped jeans a lot of mainstream people are buying manufactured ripped jeans SERIOUSLY! .. this is why we need more punks like you all of Tennessee People Like You on KZbin keep it real my friend I'll be punks it's not the 80s I'm in my fifties and still loving it

I get all my jeans from either friends or goodwills with the five finger discount so I aint gonna lie if there is a pair of levis 512s or 510s either dark blue or black but they have those shit ass company holes Im still taking it but thats only because im not paying for it otherwise I agree, besides when you wear them down yourself or make the hole yourself it looks way better. but thank god right now all my holes ive earned

[@pandoramercymain8085]

SOME ADVICE: i mostly do embroidery on my vests, been digging the stamp patch style lately, i made few of my own but they ended up degrading really fast because (A.) Unfinished sides mean unraveling of the patch, so use an antifray glue on the edges, a crap ton of paint, or sew half an inch in on to your vests. (B.) Make sure to use black, dark navy, or a blood red as your base fabric color, cause its gonna get dirty as fuck when youre moshing against 90 other sweaty dudes in equally dirty vests, and its gonna show. An intricate white patch is gonna get fucked.(C) not a problem i faced, but make sure you use a waterproof paint like acrylic or fabric paint, or else your patch will bleed when wet. Good luck dudes

[@v0n2x018]

I lightly lick the edges with lighter flame to prevent fraying. Works wonder for me.

how is acrylic water proof, every time i put it on clothes it comes off easily

@@LyraPyxisVT you gotta proof it with fabric medium, a bottle lasts a really long time. Or do it really thick and seal it over and on the back with something else

[@sidthejovian5105]

Speaking of Slipknot, just came here to see if I can make on Slipknot patch myself lol 😂

[@fbiguy5269]

@@sidthejovian5105 Dont know if you already did one but if not here is a tip: Some one told me to make the first layer of the paint white because I dont have red fabric paint for dark cloth and it wouldn't be visible otherwise. If you plan to do that let the white paint layer dry or else it will mix up a bit with the red dye and it will look kinda pinkish. Seems obvious but I was to dumb to figure it out myself. Now I'm rocking a pink slipknot patch thought 🤟. Sorry for my bad english btw.

[@chaoticbunbun]

Soo I’m not punk myself but my husband is, I know he has told me a lot of punks really pride themselves on doing all their own stuff on their own (sewing patches on, studding jackets vests pants, etc) but would it be weird if I helped him make these patches? His eyesight is god awful but if I just cut the stencils/traced them..it wouldn’t like seem bad right? Like he can paint and put them on the fabric and cut out his own sized cloth for it.. (Sorry if im not wording this correctly.)

[@Dandelions]

There's nothing wrong with helping eachother out. Punk is support, not competition

[@mariew2.062]

Do it and help your husband if you and he want that. And yeah he can do the paintpart. Have a nice day and I like your intention to help your husband.

[@user-gi6xb3dv3i]

Great tutorial!! When I'm making stencils I usually use sticker paper, but I never thought of using masking tape - nice tip!

[@zets8238]

Another good idea is to use freezer paper which sticks to fabric if you use a clothes iron! Only downside is that you have to trace your patches from a screen.

[@merci4981]

hi if you end up putting too much glue onto the patch (like me) you can soak it in some warm-ish water and soap to get it off. of course wait till the paint is completely dry :)

[@Vaso_Vic]

you can also touch it up at the end with a very thin brush (I recommend painting the background first so it's easier to correct later)

[@skapunk7024]

love your channel my friend keep it real in a debt in this day and age most Punk Rockers are not real they phony there about fashion like hot topics and all those stupid fake Punk stores but you doing it real DIY supposed to be

Hottopic* and tbh it doesn't really matter where a punk shops a punk is punk because they like the music

[@n.xavierl.6808]

If there are any large bleeds, you can clean up the lines with black paint

Thanx for making it so easy 4 us, a lot of ppl these days don't really get the fact that this shit sorta has to be cheap nd easy to do, so...thanx for this bro, you have rlly nice hands btw🔥

[@bug.mortuary]

Recommend when using stencils as an alternative to the glue just using a coat of whatever color the fabric you’re gonna be painting on is. Then that’ll stop future bleed. Might depend on the fabric though, I know this works with paintings and stuff

[@xavierrestrelm9349]

Alsoooo if you just learned after several weeks that printer ink is expensive, Instead of printing the logo, you can simply find the image on your screen, (computer or large tablet) To the life size size you want your patch to be, then put lined or printer paper over the screen with tape or a clip, and trace the logo, Then continue with steps after printing in this video.

Correction fluid tends to become very brittle after a while and will turn into dust. Acrylic paint is a better alternative to fabric paint

BRO THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL

[@Dis-Connecdead]

Did this one time with a Totalitär patch. Took very long but the result was awesome. After years it's still on my vest. Gonna use that technique again after i can't find any Krigblåst patches. Yup i bought them most of time back then. Always looked where they came from. All of my patches are made in germany by punks with machines or other equipment. So the money goes too punks again, that's ok for me. Or i bought them directly from the bands when i saw them live, my favorite ones are my Doom and Days n Daze patch.

[@CM-ul1bo]

I don't have the money for most of these materials :( I think ill have to stick with cutting up old (and suprisingly durable) jeans and putting black 1 dollar nail polish as base and going over it with paint and putting them on to my battle jacket with saftey pins cause thats all i have. It actually works pretty well..Just cant have it out in rain. so if anyone else doesn't have the materials either...i suppose this is a good idea too I've been doing things on my own with no help or that much inspiration for a few years and for some reason now all of the sudden i look for inspiration :,)

[@autiflipperkast3657]

Thanks for this! i'll definitely try this method. Is the corrupt stencil (8:34) a band logo?

@@Dandelions Thanks dude

[@t.s.5117]

Found a similar way with other things i found at Home, because your way did bleed very much (cuz i use Acrylpaint) So First: you do the same, Print or Draw a logo, but then you use this Plastik packet tape, put it on both sides, and If you are messy with paint, secure the edges with sumfin like tesafilm. You can now cut it out with small scissors. The paint bleeds a bit more but its not "that" bad. (U can just remove the bleeded Paint with an Permanent Marker) When you use the Paint, also secure the stencil with glue or sumfin. Youll see a bit white leftovers but if you wear the Patches a few days it'll be gone. Thats how it worked best for me, let me know if someone has questions

[@t.s.5117]

Also I used Make-up Sponges, cuz im fuckin poor and dont own a cool sponge. If you do more layers the Paint will be more White but maybe also bleed more...you can blowdry it in between, but at a cold level.
