Diy - Blog Posts
i cant explain it but the biohazard symbol has a grip on my brain like no other. this is me this symbol is me. im a biohazard im going to fucking explode. i feel the need to paint this symbol or other associated symbols on everything i create.
i think im hyperfixated on the fucking biohazard symbol.
whenever i show people i know my diy projects i usually end up getting some form of "i wish i could do that.", and each time im confused because, you can.
i cut up old pairs of jeans for fabric, use wall paint samples, hand sew with a sewing kit i found in the house and have slowly curated into a big tub of random supplies, and i stop the fabric from fraying with a random match box. as for artistic stuff, you can easily make stencils from paper!!
trust me, if you've ever seen some really cool diy shit and wanna try it out, you 100% can! a lot of diy stuff can easily be sourced from around your house or from others around you with unwanted items.
im currently going around to friends of mine seeing if i can debone their jackets (steal the zippers) and then return said deboned jackets, if youre broke or just dont wanna spend $50 on a white t shirt with cursive on it then make that shit!! trust me you just gotta get creative with what you use. :)
update!!! belt bag has been finished :) ill post a picture if anyones interested but im super happy with it and ill test it out soon. currently painting a mini patch to stitch onto it for decoration!
i love the stereotype of punk just being purely scary and insane. like ya theres definitely some odd balls here (love u guys) (most of u) but im literally making myself a belt bag from an old pair of jeans!!!!! im over here doing arts and crafts for the sake of the environment.
fuck capitalism i wanna sew a bag. that i can attach to my belt. with loops. a belt bag. for my little things. fuck you!!!!! ill go listen to my political loud music too!!!!!!!

a small diy recommendation from annoying anarcho!
hey! are you tired of mixing acrylic paint with random shit to paint your patches? interested in a paint thats a little bit too opaque and probably needs to be watered down? (thus giving you a bit more to work with!)
then heres an idea!: wall paint samples.
ive been using $5 wall paint sample tubs since i started making patches, and holy SHIT it works super well! since the paint is so opaque you dont tend to need very much, and because its meant for walls its overly strong and water resistant. the small tubs also give you plenty considering how little you tend to need!
"annoying anarcho! what about the fumes!" idk but it works great. wear a mask or something while you paint if you're really worried.
only con is that you need to be confident in your abilities! if you mispaint you need to either go over it in a different colour or wipe it away with water asap, otherwise shits great! if you want colours that arent different varieties of white then mix it with acrylic, hypocritical of me to suggest i know, but it works a charm.
or, if you dont like paint then household bleach can be pretty decent! its permanent, has a cool looking colour +effect and is generally in most households, just make sure your fabric works with it and do some test strips!
(wear protection when handling chemicals!!)

heyhey! intro +first post!
彡 heres some shit about me:
✦ big into the punk scene and music aquarist &plant guy ⸝⸝ i <3 freshwater 𖦹 heavily anti-war &pro-environment big into diy!! always looking for ideas:) dog-hearted spotted hyena-contherian ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 professionally annoying! years of experience. ;D
hope the people enjoy whatever i put out, feel free to ask me anything!
the whole point of a zine is that it's cheap to produce, amateur and homemade. if you're being asked to apply to participate in a print project, it is not a zine. if the final product is being printed and bound professionally, it is not a zine. if you are being asked to enter into any kind of licensing agreement more complex than "my work can be reproduced as part of this publication" it is not a zine. nine times put of ten if the final product costs more than $5 you have left zine country. im so serious about this.
I just impulsively bought about 2kg of wool for 70€ because the idea of a "Lover" inspired cardigan popped up in my head.
What the fuck is wrong with me.
Anyways, I'll keep you posted on how it turns out
