#goth diy

[homunculus-argument]

I am a fucking genius btw. The zipper of my boot has worn down in a way where it wouldn't stay up on its own, so I sewed little loops onto my pant legs so I could clip my zippers on them to keep them up.

Another two goth DIYs since people liked the last one. I can’t remember if I’ve shared these here or not. You need to be able to have a vision at a thrift store and I hope this will help you develop an eye for possibilities.

First photo: Loose linen top I thrifted, removed embellishments from, and dyed black. Loose linen clothing is excellent for hot weather, and I often will buy linen clothing when thrifting regardless of color, because it can always be dyed. I’ve dyed many linen pieces black now and have found that fiber reactive dyes yield more consistent results for black than standard off the shelf dye like RIT do. I’m also wearing some scraps of lace tied around my wrist in that photo, as a way to create something bold and black around my wrist without the heaviness of leather

Second photo: t-shirt dress thing I thrifted, dyed black, cut the neckline out of, and created a net piece for the shoulder by knotting thread together. I ended up cutting the neckline too big and the net piece helps keep it on my shoulder. A lot of people asked how I made that part, and its just string knotted together in a series of overhand knots and then sewn onto the fabric

friendly reminder there is no specific speed at which you need to be completing your diys, there is no time limit, there are no judges that matter besides you and you control the judging. People put projects down and forget about them. so WHAT? so What if you had to frog, or start over, or you continued but now it looks a little jank-- so WHATTT???

School taught a lot of us that we Can and Should be able to and expect ourselves to be done with any single project over the course of an evening to midnight. Wrong! since forever we have put shit down and come back to it. Literally there is no harm done, you're just existing and being normal. i don't care if its been there for six months or a year or five-- if its out of your way so you dont stress about it every day for five years its nomb

if it doesn't rot and isn't time sensitive leaving it for any amount of time for any reason is valid and has been done since the beginning of time. Its YOUR SHIT! You do what you want!

I made some solarpunk soda tab jewelry!! Again. And I'm making more. (Image ID at the bottom of he post)

A choker, a pair of earrings, a belt/waist chain and some bracelets using 100% thrifted/recycled materials! The choker and the bracelets have two layers so that the sharp aluminum edges on the back of the tabs aren't making contact with skin, you can kinda see it in the pictures. Here are more pictures:

[Image ID: 8 images. The first one shows a choker made out of soda tabs, with black cord weaved through it forming x shapes. There's a silver spike charm hanging from every other tab about an inch apart from each other. Im in the picture wearing the choker, my face is not in frame but my pale as fuck neck is visible and so is my dark brown hair.

The second image shows a pair of clip-on earrings laying on a sage green background. Each earring is made of 6 soda tabs weaved into a flower shape with green yarn, and three dangles hanging from the bottom. The dangles are made of a wire link with a black bead on in and a silver spike charm hanging from that. The same spike charms I used for the choker.

The third image shows a 2 ft 7 inch long belt chain made of the soda tab flowers from the earring image. Each flower is made of six tabs weaved together with the same green yarn but they yarn fades to yellow towards the end of the chain. 16 soda tab flowers are linked together with large jump rings and there are large silver clasps on each end to attach to a belt.

The forth image is my hand wearing a black compression brace and two soda tab bracelets. They are weaved together the same way as the choker, with the cord forming x shapes, but the cord is orange and not black. The bracelets are the same size, 8 inches long when laying flat including the clasp. There are two layers of soda tabs which makes the bracelet a little thicker.

The next 2 images shows a dress form wearing the belt chain from two different angles. It had a black skirt with a soda tab belt, with various spikey chains hanging from it. There's a black strip of grommet tape hanging on the right side of the belt and my soda tab flower belt chain hanging on the left side.

The next image shows one of the bracelets at and angle so the double layers are visible, and the last image shows the bracelets, the choker, and an unfinished soda tab choker with green ribbon weaved through it all laying flat on a sage green background. End ID]

built myself a chandelier out of trash today

its a simple construction with a bunch of chains looped through a cicle made of hanger wire (be smarter than me and make sure the amount of holes is divisible by 4, otherwise you're gonna have balancing issues) and these clips i got in bulk a while back. everything I used to hang on it is metal bits and bobs i've been saving for years now. this took me an hour and used next to no tools and things I already had at my house.

hey, if you're punk like i am, please do not put your "political" patches on the back of your vest or on your backpack. remember this phrase ;; you cannot watch your six like you can your 12. i've seen so many posts from baby punks putting their shit into one big collage on their backs, it's concerning.

nazis WILL take cheap shots at you, especially when you're not looking. do not let them.
