Customisations

[Psylocke]

Some pretty cool selfmade stuff in this thread!

I found an old pair of customised Miss Sixty jeans in the back of my closet today. I cropped them and my brother who's an artist drew a Punisher logo and one of his own designs on them and I only just realized that they look pretty cool. He used whiteout to draw on the jeans, but I seriously doubt I could ever wash them without ruining them, which is too bad. But I definitely need to customise some more jeans of mine, they're all too plain and boring.
Picture's my own (and very blurry )

I suppose this belongs in here.....I want to draw this image on to a plain white tshirt/vest, could someone recommend some good thin fabric pens for the job? They need to be available in the UK as well. Thanks!

DIY: How to make your own embellished top

A lot of designers have embellished tops lately. I really like this trend, but the tops are often quite expensive. A cheaper way is to stitch a (old) necklace on a top like shown below.

You need:
- a basic top
- a necklace
- scissors
- stitching materials

Start to stitch the necklace on the top in the middle, so you are sure it is not off centered. Don't make a lot of knots, so you can easily take it off when you want to wash the shirt, or if you want the necklace on another top.

Stitch the endings on the inside of the neckline, you are finfished!

and start wearing it

It's a shame I don't have the before picture on this on...
I was given a huge t-shirt with a very heavy metal print with a scull with glowing eyes and a lot of snake skeletons.

I got rid of the scull as fast as I could ant then I cut a neckline in the same shape as the snakes. Then I made the back all black.

I sold this shirt and now I almost regret it... Almost
