Saw this expensive but awesome hat in a shop that I won't name as it was was 90% ghoulishly overpriced dropshipped products. And I'm like obsessed with the metal flames but unfortunately I think this is like the one item they didn't buy off alibaba and flip for four times as much, lol. not even just the flames. and i am NOT paying 60 canadian smackeroons to a shop that is rampantly dropshipping basically all their other products when i dont even like the base of the hat that much...

Anyone have any idea how something similar could be achieved at home??? if the answer is "you need to get into metalworking" that is literally fine, especially if you have a good idea for a starting point there. I thought about cutting up old pop cans to bolt onto a hat but i think it would end up too flimsy and sharp. i think i've also seen something similar done with old cymbals but no idea where you would source those and also i'm not as into brass.

thanks in advance legends if you have literally any input here. ily cool people

Clarifying the website is non existent just because, haha!

The Lamenters chapter of the Blood Angels legion of the Adeptus Astartes is a chapter within the world of Warhammer 40k. They are my favorite chapter in the universe of Warhammer 40k and I was bored.

The design on the back copies the emblem of the Lamenters chapter; a bleeding heart on top of a checkerboard pattern with the yellow boarder representing the color of their armor.

The red helix looking thing is the symbol of the Apothecary, or battle medics. I put that on because I do EMS and thought it was fitting.

The skull dagger below the Apothecary symbol is a campaign badge, symbolizing the completion of a campaign. I was given a COVID-19 service award by the town so I put that on.

Sorry if this is the wrong sub but i thought it'd be a good place to start. I thrifted this canvas messenger bag today and i like it a lot but it is from a company and has the company logo on it. How can I remove these letters without damaging the bag? I googled it and got nothing that would really work.

I’ve never painted jeans before and I don’t wear these so I thought if I paint them maybe I’d wear them more. I’m a pre med student and I’m into anatomy and stuff so I did an anatomical heart but idk what to do at the bottom, I tried flowers and didn’t like them (like roses on vines), I tired hibiscus (in the pciture) but I’m not feeling them, help dude. I think the heart by itself is kinda boring but idk what to do…

No back to ground or trying to convince anybody of my opinion. What do you think rip or cut with scissors?

Hey everyone!
I am really hoping that someone can help me. I was visiting Poland last week and saw this cardigan. I loved it immediately, but I knew I likely couldn’t afford it, so I didn’t even ask the price. Instead, I snapped a picture since my mom loves knitting and crocheting clothes, and I was hoping that she could make something like this for me.
I sent her the picture, and she said that she has no idea how it was made. Do you think I could make something similar myself? What technique was used to make it? Maybe I could crochet something similar? But again, I don’t know where to find a pattern.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Hi all, I bought this hoodie the other day because I love the print, but the colour is kind of a washed black/charcoal where I would prefer a deep black (it's even lighter in person than the photo). So I intend to dye it darker.

The issue comes from the print on the back, which I don't want to stain. I've already got some Dylon sachet dyes in Intense Black on hand.

I was thinking of trying to protect the print by covering it in a layer of white Elmer's school glue, which is washable. The internet tells me to apply to the dry print, then the glue needs to dry for 24 hours to become fully cured. The hoodie then needs to be damp for the dyeing process so google recommends using a spray bottle to wet it rather than the washing machine (so the glue doesn't come off).

Any tips or advice before I risk it all?

The material is 360gsm 80% cotton and 20% polyester. The print is "puff print" if that helps.

Took two days to paint (about 5 hours total?) Im sure itll become a wardrobe staple. Made from a thrifted hoodie fabric paint and a needle applicator.

I dont want to buy paint for cloth, I think i sjould just use the kind of dye that you put in boiling water or in the washing machine and then dip the clothes in. But maybe Im wrong? Im new to this so Id like some advice please thanks

I got this skirt that fits well but I feel like everytime I sit down it rides up in the waist and suddenly my bottom is fully exposed. I was thinking of adding some sewed in shorts or underwear to hold it in place, but I’m a very beginner sewer so have no idea where I’d even start or where I can find resources to teach me
