This is my WIP vest. My partner @heyleemickeygee made the blahaj patch. Looking forward to putting more on it.

I'm so butch.

My dryer wasn't drying so It had to be fixed! I will recount the events.

First I unplugged the big bitch

Then I moved the dryer from the wall so that I could get behind it, as well as pull a shop vac back there. From behind it I removed the clamp that attached the flexible vent hose to the air vent at the back of the dryer. With the vent opened I ran the hose for the shop vac inside of the flexible vent hose and sucked out and stuck debris, I did the same inside the dryer vent hole. I expected there to be a large clog somewhere inside but I didn't find it.

Notes: the metal vent port in the back of the dryer is made from sheet metal. It is very sharp, don't cut your fingers like me.

I couldn't find anything indicating a clog from the back, so I went to the front. I had to remove the housing for the lint screen. This was very difficult because there were 5 screws, 2 in the front of the dryer and 3 on the inside. They were all different sizes so I separated them into piles. After removing the screws the housing came apart in 2 pieces. One was the flappy bit that says "insert lint screen here" the other was the inside wall, that didn't get fully removed because there was some electrical wires connecting it that I didn't wanna fuck with.

With the housing removed I found the problem, it was a 3 inch deep pile of lint, cat hair, and dog hair, and dimes. It had blocked most of the air flow out of the dryer it seems. I tried to suck it out and my vaccume clogged and wouldn't run. I will have to take it apart to fix it later. Undeterred I grabbed a pair of tongs and began to remove all the debris by hand. This was very dirty work, please wear a mask if you do it. I didn't and I am feeling very silly about it as I write. Additionally the inside parts of the dryer are made of sheet metal and are very sharp. Wear gloves if you try this bc I cut my fingers up.

Notes: wear PPE mask and gloves, try to properly light the area, I put my phone in the dryer and it DID NOT help.

Finally having removed sufficient debris I began to put everything back together, interior wall, screws, reattach the flexible vent hose (in the future id like to use rigid venting but that's currently out of the scope of my abilities), plug it back in, and push the dryer back against the wall. You maybe be saying, Elle it sounds like you forgot something and you would be right. I forgot to put the flappy bit back on. So I had to remove the 5 screws holding the housing in place and replace the flappy bit and put the 5 screws back. It was frustrating.

Final notes: the biggest difficulty for me was a lack of proper lighting. If you can bring a portable lamp I would recommend you do. Also PPE. Where I live it probably would have cost us 300 bucks to get this fixed. It took me 10 minutes of googling and an hour of struggling (I'm not as able bodied anymore). I'm hopeful that I've resolved the issue, if I haven't we will consider calling a technician.

Tools: I used a Philips head screwdriver and a shop vac. You could dry it with a regular vaccume with a hose attachment, but this broke my shop vac so you should be confident that you can repair it. Also a great amount of queer audacity.

michael my beloved

a pin out of bottle cap. watercolour over matte white acrylic primer, sealed with some weird stinky varnish (probably toxic and probably should’ve worn a respirator 🙂). if you want to make some pins and paint them with watercolour(or anything what is not acrylic) please don’t use water soluble varnish or you will ruin your pins (guess how i found it out)

1 year patch difference!!! One on the left has a good amount of wear from being on my vest too >:))

Let’s not let DIY culture die. These are subcultures made by the poor folks for the poor folks. Theyre not supposed to be expensive just make this shit urself. If u need to learn to sew learn to fuckin sew

Actually I'll never forgive Punk Rave and Killstar and fast fashion brands for tricking people into thinking that being goth or punk or emo is expensive. Babygirl the only goth brand names you need to know are Rit, Good Will, Etsy, and Studs and Spikes, we used to shove safety pins through our ears and then they started selling earrings that look like safety pins for 15.99. We used to dye thrifted wedding dresses black and they started selling gothic gowns for 300 bucks. We used to put studs on boots we found in the back of the good will and they started making Demonias. DIY or die wasn't perfect it can be exclusionary to disabled people but whatever the fuck we've got going on right now is so much worse. It's not any more inclusive to the disabled and it is exclusionary to the people who made punk, to the people who made goth, to the people who made emo. If you've got the funds and you don't want to do diy pay someone else to do it for you but please let it be a small artist or a friend not some guy in a suit who's made it his business to gentrify punk. You can turn flats into platforms with flipflops, hotglue and gumption don't let anyone tell you different.

I wanna make some anime patches for animes I think are just a bit punk for my crust pants but I can’t pick one for neon genesis (ima do “see you space cowboy” for cowboy bebop)

Hiii!

I'm neurodivergent and I wear ear defenders to school, and I figured that if so many are gonna stare, I might as well give them something to look at. can people please help me with my new DIY project???

some recent patches that i’m pretty happy with!

my vest!! still needs a lot of patches and i want to get studs but im rly happy with it so far

DIY printing is an adventure. One of the covers was printed backwards. 😀 this is going on my coffee table.

I made this necklace from goat bones (and no I didn't kill any goats)

Anything can be an accesssory if you try hand enough,

I live by that, ive ssafetyed a part of a sswing to mysself, there are no ruless

simple tutorial on how to make those bottlecap buttons you see everywhere

you'll need:

bottlecap•soda tab•safety pin•pliers•sandpaper/file•paint/paint markers/smth to decorate with•clear nail polish

remove the print on the buttons using a file or the sandpaper

(if you wanna keep the print skip this step, use a cloth to protect the print from scratches when folding down the sides of the cap)

fold down opposing sides of the cap, to help add in the safety pin

bend the tab at a slight angle, insert it into the cap. make sure the side of the safety pin that can not open is the one stuck under the tab

fold down one side of the cap to lock the tab in place, then try and press the tab as flat as you can, to lock the safety pin in place (prevents the buttons from moving on the safety pin, if you like rattling buttons, skip this step)

fold down all other sides of the cap

cover the button in one or more base layers of paint

add ur design (i use paint or paint markers for good coverage and vibrant colors)

cover that in one or two layers of nail polish, it will protect the button from rain and the paint from cracking

thats it, lemme know if you want tutorials on anything else, i like making em.

Hello Tumblr!

I am Void, a small artist that drabbles in jewery making and clothing customization, punk, and most things fantasy related.

The rock is amethyst (I believe, it's been floating around my house for a while), the bone is a fox vertebrae, and the leafs i scavenged from a necklace my mom gave me.

How I make a record necklace

I have a record necklace I am very fond of so I thought I would give yall a tutorial

What you will need:

Washer

Nail polish or paint

Chain Necklace (make sure it is thin enough to fit through the center of the washer

Jump rings

Pliers are recommended but not required

First: paint the washer on both sides to look like a record. You can do both sides a different color if you want.

I recommend putting clear nail polish or any sealant over it to reduce paint chipping.

Second: split your chain in half and feed one side through the hole.

Third: put a jump ring on the end of the chain and put it through the top of the chain, leaving a slip chain.

It should look like this. Do this with both sides and you have a necklace :} it is easily reversible if you wish.

I customized my converse a little while back and I'm pretty happy with them

I used white fabric paint for the eyes and painted the grommets with black nail polish. The stitching was colored in with a sharpie which has held up better than i thought. I had to stitch the rubber back onto the canvas on the right one.

I started making plans for a punk bum flap years ago and just got around to finishing it. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out even if it is a bit fancy. The David Bowie patches are from an old shirt i didn't wear so I figured I might as well stick em' on here

The back is a mat of duct tape stitched to the front incase I might need something more durable against the ground

Here's a close up of the stitching which is my favorite part since the blue matches Bowie's outfit on the other patch and the orange matches the lettering on the other

{I also do not recommend trying to sew through duct tape and if you do a leather needle worked the best}

In case the esim process confuses you or you aren't able to buy them yourself for any other reason, crips for esims for Gaza is collecting donations, they've almost met their goal of $150,000 raised. Donating allows them to buy esims in bulk which allows them to obtain more than individuals would be able to. I just donated and it was super easy as you can use paypal.
