Time for pride

Seasonal depression is hitting me super hard this year. I feel like there is nothing to hope for...

I unpacked these beautifully crafted pride armbands from day 4 of the advent calendar swap. At the same day the Vienna pride parade was announced for June 14th next year. I'm excited for it and hope I'll feel better way before that!

Hii, how did you make those shoelaces? They're so cute.

Ok so, I was going to make a video where I showed you how to do it but things have honestly been so busy I literally have not had time to get around to it, and you're anon so I don't have anyone to tag so.....I'm very sorry basically. I hope you see these.

So I used these beads:

They're called pony beads and you can find them places like Michaels, Amazon, the online Pony Beads Store, etc.

I got a single pack from Michaels and they were like under 4 dollars, but they were missing some colors like grey (which meant I wasn't able to do the ace flag......) so like if you are looking to do a flag it might be worth seeing what colors they have.

But anyways to get them on my shoes I basically unlaced my shoes entirely, strung the beads on my shoelaces in the order of the flag I was using and about 9 across in total (but really that just depends on how wide your shoe is), made sure the beads sit in the very middle of my shoes and then relaced my shoes making sure the beads were facing outwards.

There's lots of different ways you can do this though, like mine was just a single line across but people have done things like this:

As well where they put the beads all the way up.

You can also do cool stuff like these:

If you have some clear string and smaller beads (or the larger pony beads, you know, whatever you have on hand will work). And you can get fancy and attach it with clasps like these or you can just tie those fuckers like I did on mine. Be warned though, if you have zip up shoes and these go across where they zip up, you have to make them loose enough that you can open your shoe still. If you just tie your shoes, I don't think that's a problem, but I have accidentally broken one string on my boots before in public....so like, just take that into account.

Or if you don't have strong but you've got safety pins, you can do stuff like this:

Like honestly I would legitimately suggest checking out pinterest for ideas like this if it's stuff you'd like. This is my DIY board and you can find some of this stuff on here, but just looking at pictures of what people have made can give you some ideas on just DIYing your own clothing. There is so much you can do with things like basic needle and thread (patches from old tshirts, embroidery, mending, sewing entirely new clothing, etc), acrylic paints and an iron (paint directly on fabric, heat set with the iron and bam, you can paint on clothing), bleach (add a cup of water and a brush and you've got a whole new thing you can "paint" with, or you can literally just dump that shut on there in fun ways), or things like beads and safety pins.

Like here's some things I've done to clothes:

And these are some future things I want to do to clothes that I've found on pinterest:

I hope any of that was helpful! And again, I'm sorry that it took me so long to reply.

Embroidered Aro DIY Pride (Carnival of Aros, May 2020)

I enjoy embroidering and the main thing I embroider is patches, many of them having to do with aro or other queer pride things.  Above is a picture of the back of my denim vest along with most of the patches I have made with varying degrees of completion. Here is a link to a tutorial of 2 aro patches I posted previously (one is the aro arrow that is pictured above, the other is an aro arrowhead that is attached to the front of my vest currently).

Here is another link showing an aroace patch I made (which is also currently on the front of the denim vest). (below the cut is more specific descriptions of the various patches pictured above...a mix of image description and commentary)

(approximate top to bottom, left to right)

Queer Chemistry: Across the top of the denim vest are 5 square patches inspired by the queer chemistry enamel pin set.  In order: Aromantic flag (as element argon, Ar), Asexual flag (as element arsenic, As), rainbow flag representing both generally queer and neurodivergent (as element neodymium, Nd), nonbinary flag (as element niobium, Nb), and agender flag (as element silver, Ag).

Triple A battery: Outline of a battery on black fabric with 3 letter “A”’s inside, from left to right the A’s have aromantic, asexual, and agender pride flags. (this one is cut out but not completely turned into a patch).

Aro Arrow: an arrow made up of the aromantic pride flag.  It is on white fabric with a green rectangular border. (this one is complete but I haven’t place it on vest yet).

The following four patches are the ones not cut out from the white fabric:

Queer Pride chevron: queer chevron flag inside a shield-like shape.  The top of the shape is filled in with black and has the word “pride” embroidered in white.

Aro d20: Aro pride flag colors in the shape of a d20 dice (bc I’m a d&d nerd).  It has different colors in different triangles/sides making up the shape rather than even stripes.

Aro autisticat: The black silhouette of a cat with the rainbow infinity symbol for autism as a bowtie on its neck and a bow in aro colors on its tail.

Queer rainbow: a rainbow with the 8 colors of the original queer pride flag, with each color made of a single row of stitches along the arc of the rainbow.

The following are the ones towards the right of the white fabric:

Voidpunk Aro UFO: a UFO/spaceship with the word “Voidpunk” embroidered in blue across it which is shining down a beam of light in aro flag colors. (this is cut out from fabric but not turned into a patch yet).

Yellow Rose: I like roses and I like the yellow rose because it symbolized friendship.  This patch is on light yellow fabric with the rose embroidered in darker yellow and green leaves around it.  This is a completed patch with a tidy green border.

Aromatic Aromantic: This one is such a nerdy chemistry thing.  So, the basic type of aromatic molecules is a 6-carbon ring with 3 double bonds, and the simplistic way of depicting this is a hexagon with a circle inside of it.  This has the hexagon with a circle aromatic symbol in gold.  In between the hexagon and the circle is the aro pride flag.  I thought inside the circle looked plain so I added a bow and arrow inside of it in silver because of Artemis. Then across the top is the word “Aromantic”, mostly in white but the “n” is green such that reading just the white letters would say “Aromatic”, thus it can be read as “Aromatic Aromantic”.  (this one is not cut out from the black fabric it is on but is folded up so only this patch is visible).

I finished it! :)

my two pride flags, one I made almost a year ago now, and the second one I finished about half an hour ago!

I don’t know if I’ll keep them on the same chain or not. I like the idea of being able to wear both at once without too many cords tangling up, but we’ll see!

Me making homemade PRIDE marzipan? It’s more likely than you think.

Also made some cookies with the extra.
