Band Patches

Spent part of my day making band patches for my battle jacket. These are made of fabric from my brother's cut off shorts, paint and paint pens, mod podge and I will be gently ironing them tomorrow before putting them on my jacket. By far not the only patches I will be making but it's a start!

... Read moreHey everyone! If you're anything like me, you love the idea of a personalized battle jacket, but buying all those patches can really add up. That's why diving into DIY punk and band patches has been such a game-changer! It's not just about saving money; it's about pouring your own creativity and passion into every single piece. So, you're ready to make your own? Let's talk materials first. While I often grab fabric from old clothes (like my brother's cut-off shorts!), you can use almost any sturdy, tightly woven fabric. Canvas, denim scraps, or even old bedsheets work great. For the paint, I swear by fabric paint – it's designed to withstand washing and flexing without cracking. If you only have acrylics, you can mix them with a textile medium to get similar results. Don't forget your paint pens for fine details or outlines, and of course, Mod Podge or a similar fabric sealant to protect your designs and give them a finished look. The OCR mentioned bands like The Cure, Blue Oyster Cult, Bauhaus, and Minor Threat, which are fantastic choices for classic punk and rock vibes! Now for the fun part: design and transfer! There are a few ways to get your band logos onto the fabric. If you're confident with freehand, go for it! Otherwise, stencils are your best friend. You can buy pre-made stencils, print out band logos online and cut them out yourself, or even use freezer paper for a crisp edge. Another easy method is tracing: print your design, tape it to a window with your fabric over it, and trace the outline. Or, for darker fabrics, rub chalk on the back of your printout, then trace the design onto your fabric with a pencil, leaving a chalk outline. This is perfect for getting those iconic Bauhaus or Minor Threat logos just right. Once your design is on, start painting! Take your time, especially with lettering and intricate details. Multiple thin coats of paint are better than one thick one, as it prevents cracking and gives a smoother finish. Let each layer dry before adding the next. For bands like The Cure, with their distinctive fonts, precision is key. After painting and letting everything dry completely, it's Mod Podge time. Apply a thin, even coat over the entire painted surface. This seals the paint, adds durability, and gives a slight sheen. Some people prefer a matte finish, so choose your Mod Podge accordingly. Finally, attaching them to your battle jacket! While I mentioned ironing them, for true battle jacket durability, I always recommend sewing. Iron-on adhesives are great for temporary fixes, but for patches that will last through mosh pits and countless washes, a good old needle and thread (or a sewing machine if you're skilled!) is the way to go. Stitch around the edges, making sure to secure them firmly. Don't be afraid to mix and match styles – combine your handmade painted patches with embroidered ones, or even experiment with different fabrics for a truly unique crust punk aesthetic. Every patch tells a story, and making your own means your jacket will be a true reflection of your music taste and personality. Happy crafting!

different types of pimple patches 🩹
i love pimple patches because they help to prevent me from involuntarily picking at my skin and causing worser scars, but did you know there are different types of patches? instead of the basic hydrocolloid, the market was able to create other patches to treat acne and pimples in more specific ways

3 reasons to use pimple patches
i’m such a big fan of pimple patches!! i used to pick my acne so much and it led to some scarring. but there are so many types of pimple patches and the starface ones shown here are the best i’ve found. they’re made with 100% hydrocolloid to absorb fluid and reduce redness and inflammation.

Pimple patches work so well for bug bites😄 10/10 recommend because they get rid of the itchiness! Also pimple patches work really well for those big painful pimples but I recommend poking them first with a clean pimple popping tool/needle to open it up so the pus can be absorbed into the pimple pat

I found very affordable pimple patches at dollar tree! I liked that it had two different sizes in each pack because some pimples are smaller or bigger than others 💗 Also why is the most common shape for pimple patches a star? I feel like i’ve seen so many brands use a star 👀⭐️ @Lemon8 Beauty

I always wonder if pumpkin patches are even worth it anymore and to me it’s a fat NOPE! i feel like pumpkin patches are all a money grab now, and it’s really sad because when i was a kid i would always go and find a pumpkin and it would never be so expensive! now a days it’s all $50+ just for one
