How to Make Your Own DIY Punk Patches

[@deaddwives]

9:06 just as tip to help prevent fraying. You can leave some additional room on the patch to make a hem which you can pin down while you’re sewing :)

[@bigmanmccheez5342]

Another option for making patches of album covers is transfer paper. Get a cheap tshirt, cloth or canvas (black works best) and colour transfer paper (absolutely essential because standard transfer paper doesn't show white). Print a load of albums/logos on one page and iron it on to the cloth. Cut out each cover, put tape on the back for structural strength and sew. They will never be as nice as proper patches but they are way cheaper, more fun, kinda cool and you can get any patch you want with it. I wanted to get a Rush patch but don't want to spend €20 on a single patch, I can make 6 patches for less than €5 with this method.

THE MUSIC MADE ME CACKLE LMFAOOO

[@tokkios]

tip: if u cant print your logo/design you can use a phone or a monitor and put the paper on top to trace it, just turn the birghtness to the max or freehand if youre skillful lol

[@joerancid1981]

I'm a very lazy punk, this helps a lot

[@metalovytatko]

copyrighted punk rock music...if there was an oxymoron...that one was it. Un-fuckin-believable.

[@Noo-My-Only-Weakness-Dying]

I giggled lmao

[@A.D.I.D.A.S-916]

Dude you couldn’t be more right lol

[@musicenjoyer298]

As a metalhead, thank you a lot

[@joswyt2025]

Iv found If you paint the back of the patch it stops it from fraying and makes it easier to sew on coz it is less flimsy! Also can use the glue stick hold the patch on while you sew!

[@blepboop5451]

AH omg thank you!! I've been dying to make my own Z? shirt from Johnny The Homicidal Maniac, and I couldn't think of a good idea of how to make it that wouldn't involve free hand. This is such a big help!!!!

[@cryptickitsune1876]

There's a lot of ways to make patches and I fucking love that this one requires so little. A little background on me, I've been in the scene for what feels like forever. I played w/ my band At CBs, Arlenes grocery, lamores, continental, etc... hung out with, know, and am friends w/ multiple people from a shit ton of well known (and moreso unknown) bands. I only state this not as a brag, but to illustrate how long and how deep I am into the punk subculture. (I'm also old af or at least feel like it XD lol, so I've been around) the reason all that info is important, is for the following... A lot, and I mean A LOT of baby punkers, crusties, rockabillies and goth punks (Horror punks), look at people in their favorite bands with stars in their eyes, and think they must be buying a shit ton of stuff to look the way that makes them comfortable in their own skin... and although sometimes that's the case (rare tbh), more often than not it isn't. A LOT of these punks, especially the old school ones got used to making their own shit or buying DIY from within the community. The way the dude in the vid here makes that patch is the exact way I've literally watched one of the dudes from molotov cocktail put together a patch of his own while sitting on the bumper of his bands van. The great thing about punk is the DIY nature of all of it... its something that corpos CANNOT replicate no matter HOW hard the fuckers try to imitate it. And fuuuuck man... Nothing is going to look/feel more punk than getting good at DIYing your own battle vest, hoodies, guitar cases etc. I mean shit... this is a good way to make a few patches, but I've seen people go from this technique into learning DIY screen printing and making hundreds of patches in a day for them and their friends bands. It's a GREAT skill to learn and this is exactly the process/technique people should start with. So heres mad props to the channel owner for dropping this nugget of wisdom on the community. Love from NYC dude.

Also gluing your stencil to a stronger piece of bristol board or vinyl helps. And you can always save it for many more transfers! I like your methods too tho!

[@halroxdynasty8683]

Cool... I actually saw this video cuz I'm looking how to make an actual screen. I used to make patches and t-shirts this way back in the day when I was too poor before the internet was like so eclectic you can buy anything off it...idk if you mentioned this in the video but you can buy book cover sticky tape for covering your college books or whatever... You can cut the stencil out of that and then you can stick it on top of the fabric, it just makes it better for cleaner lines, and it stays in place so you can easily do bigger designs.

[@phizbee199]

[@manuelalenz9024]

I love this video a lot. Gonna start working on my patch pants so this is amazing!

[@SpeshuIKayKay]

Great video! Appreciate the little tips, I always fuck up and tear the paper when cutting it out 😅

[@jacobramirez8753]

Great video

[@HumanBeing-yt4gp]

Yo question hypothetically if I used acrylic instead of fabric paint how would it wash?

[@bahadirhxckaraman]

pour habit and huskers, nice taste man!

[@zososlippy7610]

Love the penny wise hat

[@gabbajon5654]

[@adelaidesocki]

Try a small bottle of fray check to stop fraying

[@NateDraws-m8m]

[@steph3172]

I love hüsker dü 🖤

[@astrea_nyx]

Wait what paint did he use

[@MaartenDLVW]

how do you prevent the paint from getting crusty?

[@tokkios]

you can use a sponge to dab the paint, maybe that would help

[@Malachibadgerman]

thx for the tutorial... i just got done making my kmfdm patch

[@anarcoi]

what do you mean "copyrighted punk music"? if it's copyrighted it's not punk! ;) awesome tutorial. up the punks! Ⓐ

[@benebaby3840]

Any tips on how to get the glue off the fabric? 😭

[@Hyper_shiba]

why wont you use a sponge for painting its more accesable and cheap

[@tivsterino]

Please add captions.

[@lovepitchblackmelankoli]

it seems like for me for some reason reinforcing the back of the printer paper doesnt stop the paper from tearing :/

[@ciscoperea1436]

What campus are you at

[@Ast3rBlast3r]

sometimes at the end, I will use black paint to cover up small mistakes :>

[@Break.o_o]

How the hell are u gonna cut out a goregrind/slam metal logo 😭

[@Cobalt985]

Carefully

[@SpruntForever]

Husker Dü ❤❤❤

[@mindless3512]

Penny wise hat ;)

[@EuTrabalhoParaSagres510]

Just tattoo your favorite band names on your face and neck like a real punk

[@mardariustin9312]

How do you stickl them to the clothes after?

[@mikedeary4390]

Sewing them on or there is fabric glue. I wouldn't recommend glue, It's very messy and can ruin your clothes if the glue bleed through layers.

[@lavariderstudios5320]

Deny defend depose.

[@TK-bx5qs]

Copyrighted Punkrock Music. Meditate that for a while.

[@jerrydetwiler9552]

Maybe you could throw the band a couple bucks now and then. Buy a record of them if you are going to bootleg their merch. And pray Jerry Only don't see your bootlegs and come at ya. True story

[@LeithH-x3e]
