Customisations

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

i dyed some pants green it went wrong

 

[LadyIllusion]

They fit,but i cant buckle them up(its hard to explain), i know a shoe-maker that will customise them for me, it will be around the £150.00 mark, but worth it.

what are you going to do ...how will you make them fit?...

if i spray painted a design onto a tee would it stay on? or is there anyway i could fix it on?

what if i only hand washed it?

any help is very greatful

I think spray paint will stay on a shirt but make sure to handwash and keep the temperture of the water cold.

I MADE A MIU MIU inspired headband

So now, to my new DIY project that I was working on is a headband I saw while flipping through Harpers Bazaar April issue. There was this awesome MIU MIU headband and I was like, "owwwwwww, me wantie." But ofcourse me not have $206 to dish out on it, so I tried to make a similiar one.

Here it is!! Pictures and directions....

it'll stay...just don't use too much paint or it will crack...
i think it's safe to machine wash...

spray paint is great for stencilling and such. I've never had a problem with the wash. I've also used a fabric paint in an aerosol can before but it's not that much different and it's kind of costly in comparison

I'm busy turning a twin-pleat Zegna suit into a no-pleat Zegna suit. Wish me luck - I have no idea what I am doing.

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

good luck poc hope the suit turns out well

another spray paint tee not as sharp as the first one but i like the look it gives the wings.( and btw that is the back of the tee its kind of a tank top looking thing)

What kind of paint can I use to do pictures to leather? Is there a "leathercolour"?

i know you can buy leather dye that dyes shoes but no idea if you could use it to paint a design on.

hope that helps kind of

I found this amazing leather jacket for a good price but I think it's a pit boring... Thats why I want to know is there a letaher paint or something... I have been trying to find for an answer but no luck yet

 

[purechris]

I remember my brothers lthr jkt, I think he used an oil based paint....what about a paint pen? I think you could ask at a craft store or an artist supply shop. Acrylic paints probably won't work since it will peal....

I googled it as well and the only specific info I found was here:

even though it contradicts what I said about acrylics....test it out on the lining leather
