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.
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.
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 RUclips 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
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 Same I also stitch some black thread all the way around to try and give it a border so to say lol that last one might be more superstition then anything but oh well
@@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
@@susan5339 idk what that is, do you know where I can find it? Can it be found in local Walmart? And Everytime I do put it on fabric it feels hard and it makes my fabric lose stretch
This is a really new form of screen printing that never would I have thought of. I enjoyed watching this tutorial. I can't sleep and I find it and the music relaxing.
@@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.
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.)
I had a lot of success doing this with a plastic folder too! I was able to make plenty to give to my friends without it soaking in the paint and getting warped
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was a bit worried because I want to get a lot of patches from different bands, but they are too expensive! So I will try this
thanks you, as much as i like buying patches and using fast fashion, i appreciate that you,ve given me the option to DIY my own patches. i always wanted my jacket to be the most personal thing in my wardrobe, and so i appreciate this video, and you
good job, i made an anarchy A (neat style) and patches for nomeansno, ramones and swans. i only did one coat with radiator paint, kept it neat and also gave a nice vintage faded effect. it's nice seeing others peoples efforts and techniques
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.
Wow, gee, this is helpful, sometimes I don't have money to buy new patches so I made this and put it on my battle jacket, I use different colours and it works. Thx dude, stay sic 🤘🏽
If any germans are here trying to figure out which fabric dye to use Marabu is the best out of my experience. And if you only want to use white or black colour you dont have to buy the special version for dark fabric the normal one's work aswell and are also way cheaper because you can buy them in big bottles.
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 :)
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
alfiex 666, that is how it should be, punks support each other, but there are a lot of people who just wear the fashion without regard for the music, and thats cool too
alfiex 666 yep, and it’s just as much attitude as fashion and music! Honestly, if you like a piece of clothing, hell, buy it! Whether it’s hottopic, Spencer’s etc etc. (Also I know this is old but)
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
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🔥
@@Hb-me8dl perhaps yours is just better, I remember doing my first patch like this 7 years ago and after a year not much was left over. But I'm glad you're finding other creative alternatives!
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.
@@fbiguy5269 I just printed my own stuff along with school related stuff, easy to do when you're working with a laptop connected to the school printer.
A tip is that freezer paper sticks to fabric if you use a clothes iron! That way you just trace off of a pc screen and get a stencil that can be ironed on! Can cut out the blacks whilw its on fabric with an exacto knife too
All my punk friends that weren't just drug addicts moved onto black metal and power violence and became better people because of it. That's the good thing about punk, it either kills you or sends you onto a journey of self-discovery and life-long learning. Too bad more things in life are not like this.
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.
Anything thatll take paint! Depending on where you want your patch, you might want a stronger fabric if its gonna go somewhere with a lot of wear and tear. Avoid satins and fuzzy things cause those are a pain in the ass to paint on. Tightly woven fabrics will probs work best if you want it real clean
Honestly I always just draw and paint them free hand 😭 Also I like to do a super light coat of acrylic paint on the back cause I find it makes it more sturdy and easier when sewing on
i need these stencils ASAP xd i made a mistake of printing my images too small and now it's hard to cut them, so i just trace them on the fabric. the simple logos turned out good tho
For the vid I used a sturdy cotton based fabric, tshirt fabric rips after a few months in my experience. Cut up jeans work if it's not too stretchy. As of right now I use Canvas cut from old thrifted work pants
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 :,)
what type of fabric do you use and where can i get it ? is it just a certain kind of clothing cut up or what also very informative and simple thank u :) not a punk but a goth , have to make my own back patch bc my favorite band rlly is not that popular so there arent any existing ones i can buy
I don't remember what I used back then, it's some kind of heavy duty cotton I guess, pretty thick. Never found it again at any other fabric store after my local one went out of business. Now I use black canvas.
How do you get the little lines to actually show up in the right shape dude cuz everytime i try to do it they just kinda clump up and merge into the rest of the letter or whatever it is
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.

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)
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! ..

Do it and help your husband if you and he want that. And yeah he can do the paintpart.

You can do literally whatever you want as far as im concerned, i buy most of my patches from a bud, i e made maybe two myself, no shame!

If there are any large bleeds, you can clean up the lines with black paint
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)
I feel like this is the best way to do battle jackets this is probably what the og punks did and I love that idea

No it’s the Dutch police logo, it’s basically saying that they are corrupt
Tho corrupt would make a pretty good band name ngl

Damm this makes a lot more sense than all the hand painting I did for years
a nice tip is to mix the acrylic paint with fabric softener makes it less crusty and the paint peels of less quickly

stencil idea is smart -- ive just been shittily embroidering patches. thanks i owe u
you can also use a correction fluid instead of fabric paint which is harder to find
Correction fluid tends to become very brittle after a while and will turn into dust. Acrylic paint is a better alternative to fabric paint

Very creative man. I might even do this myself.
One of the best channels going
Thanks for the tutorial... which one the hardest to make? I like to watch if you make ‘agathochels’ logo
can these be put through the wash once they are sewn on, if we used fabric paint?
Likely! Hand washing is good too if youre real worried about it. Fabric paint is meant to stand through washes though
I just made my first patch with a kittie logo I’m so excited to make crust pants
You can also fix them with black paint if they seem too smudgy!!!!
BRO THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL
Old vid but useful. I just got into this type of music and wanted to make some patches. Thanks for the help.😃😃😃🤘🤘🤘
It's a really nice video. And these fingers, they are great!
I found that using something like packaging tape is good so that you can use them a few more times

Seems like a dumb question but is there any specific fabric that works best when making them?
Anything thatll take paint! Depending on where you want your patch, you might want a stronger fabric if its gonna go somewhere with a lot of wear and tear. Avoid satins and fuzzy things cause those are a pain in the ass to paint on. Tightly woven fabrics will probs work best if you want it real clean
Hey just asking!
Would Acrylic paint work fot this?
I wanted to try but I only have Acrylic for now
its the best
thank you so much for this omg! i just made my first patch with this method and it came out great!
Mann Thank you very much!
You saved my money))
cant wait to make some bauhaus patches! ty!
Honestly I always just draw and paint them free hand 😭 Also I like to do a super light coat of acrylic paint on the back cause I find it makes it more sturdy and easier when sewing on

nevermind didnt see it in the beginning sorry to bother you
what type of fabric do you use and where can i get it ? is it just a certain kind of clothing cut up or what
also very informative and simple thank u :) not a punk but a goth , have to make my own back patch bc my favorite band rlly is not that popular so there arent any existing ones i can buy
Is this waterproof?
If it's fabric paint and you follow the instructions that come with the paint, then yes.
Man I’m jealous of how good these were made. Man I can’t trace with a blade for shit
LOL! That's exactly the patch I want to make :DThanks for the vid!
How do I get my hands on the black fabric that stamped patches are made on? What is it called, where do I get it?
It would be cool if you made a video about your clothes with the patches you've made
Acrilyc paint work great too
Thanks so much for making this, man! Just one question, what kind of fabric are you using there?
I don't remember what I used back then, it's some kind of heavy duty cotton I guess, pretty thick. Never found it again at any other fabric store after my local one went out of business. Now I use black canvas.
How do you get the little lines to actually show up in the right shape dude cuz everytime i try to do it they just kinda clump up and merge into the rest of the letter or whatever it is
If u use fabric markers u can just color the stencils in
