Punk FASHION 101: Patches!

You love it, I love it, we all love punk fashion, but how on earth is it done?


Today we begin with: PATCHES

A classic, put them on vests, jackets, pants, what-ever! Heres the recipie for the perfect patch, plus some ideas!

INGREDIENTS

  • A heavy fabric, I use denim
  • paint, preferably fabric paint, acrylic works but may need to be touched up
  • needle and thread (this is a weird one, but dental floss works very well as thread, its real cheap and real sturdy, but make sure you buy unflavored so its not sticky!) 
  • something to sew your patches onto (jacket, vest, pants, backpack)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • cut out a piece of your fabric
  • paint your design onto the patch
  • wait for your patch to dry and start stitching it on
  • i use a whip stitch, but there are a lot of ways to do it!
  • and youre done! it really is simple!

IDEAS

  • your favorite band(s)
  • flags
  • an in-joke
  • a reference to your favorite movie/book/tv show
  • something political (punk is a very leftist subculture, if you are right-wing maybe find some other music :/)
  • anything else you like!
