How do you make a punk jacket you know studs and patches the paint on the back but it has to be a real punk jacket like one that is diy and i dont where leather so it needs to be for fake leather?

Answer:

1. Go to the nearest thrift store and pick yourself out a denim jacket or vest, or a faux leather jacket or vest.

2. Spend some serious time thinking about what kind of politics or music you are into. You can make a list of these things if you want- I sketched my first vest out on paper before I did anything.

3. Recognize that your jacket is NOT going to be made overnight- over the years you are going to be adding things, and taking things off. You don't have to go out and buy a ton of patches and expect to have them all on by tomorrow morning.

4. Choose whether or not to have a back-patch or centerpiece on your jacket.

5. Go to a concert, thrift store, vintage store, record store, etc. and pick out some patches and buttons that work for you. Purchase them (don't steal, especially not from independant businesses) and place them where you want on your jacket.

6. Studs can be ordered from sites online (angryyoungandpoor.com is a good option) or you can pry them off studded belts and reuse them. If a store in your area sells studs and spikes, go for it.

7. I used acryllic paint on my jacket, but be aware that acryllic stains clothing- so if you're painting with it, don't wear your Sunday best.

8. If you see something you like (i.e. a small piece of bright green cloth) don't hesistate to put it somewhere on your jacket. Your jacket is unique to you- nobody else has one like it. So feel free to put whatever you want on it.

9. Just have fun with it- your jacket doesn't have to look like anything out of a textbook.
