Goth DIY

It has become apparent that the gothy DIY knowledge of years past has not fluttered out to many folks. Here, let me give you some quick suggestions:

The Tights Thing: Get a pair of tights. (Which can often be found at dollar stores and thrift stores!) Cut out the crotch, and cut off the feet or make holes for your thumbs and fingers. Ta-da! A shirt!

Things To Do To Any Garment:

Safety pins: Get lots of safety pins (which can also be found at dollar stores), and use them to make designs on an item of clothing. (I've added safety pins in a line down seams on jackets.)

Paint pens: Draw on your clothes! Write song lyrics or quotes! (This also works with bleach pens.)

Appliques: You can sew or use safety pins to attach damn near anything you cut apart from another garment, a patch, or pieces of other fabric to something else.

Change the buttons. You can buy all sorts of interesting buttons from fabric stores, Amazon, eBay, Ali-Express ... you get the idea. Change the plain buttons on a shirt or jacket to interesting ones!

Add trim: Lace, ribbons, fringe, grommet tape ... hell, you can even sew chain onto things.

And finally, here's the Gothic Charm School post on Gothy DIY essentials! Go forth and alter your clothes!

All of my need to maintain atmosphere as a horror GM is fighting my love of puns. Like I just can't call the desolation ritual in my game Fire Fest.

I want to thank the Barbie movie, because not only it's going to be a masterpiece that will change my life, but it also made me realise that Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds are in fact two different actors
