Idea: sew some cute little moths with scrap fabrics and sew them on holes you have on your clothes so you can keep wearing them :)

can't WAIT to slap this on some fabric and make a patch but unfortunately I have run out of tshirts to tear up and make patches with.

My Punk Tips for a DIY Lifestyle:

Thrift some black fabric (or grab an old black shirt you don't care for anymore), get a white fabric marker, posca, sharpie, or paint and make a bunch of patches to sew onto your clothes.

If you're a digital artist this is your time to shine! Make stencils, posters, design clothes (there are free templates online), and if you don't own a printer libraries will let you print for cheap and sometimes free. My library card allows me to print 10 pages for free.

Reuse everything or if you don't want it anymore donate it or recycle it.

Trash is very punk. Soda can tabs for instance can make for cool jewlery. It's all about creativity.

Drug store makeup is your best friend and honestly they're sometimes better than the luxury name brand products. Or hell even make some of your own.

If you need to order something I suggest etsy. Yes, some of it's expensive but you're supporting small artists and buissnesses rather than a corportation. It's also easier to find poc, queer, and neurodivergent buissnesses and artists.

Overall punk is about being creative. Just get creative and have fun!

Look at my little sewing kit!!!! Altoids tins are a godsend I take this with me everywhere

They're also PERFECT for mini first aid kits, or in my case, mini chronic pain/chronic migraine kits for emergencies. I highly recommend making one if you're able to

*Editing this post and all my other ones to add an image id

[ID: a metal altoids tin, about 3.5 inches by 2 inches, with sewing supplies inside. A little bag of safely pins, varying colors of thread, a needle threader, and some buttons. The pins and sewing needles are stuck in a tightly rolled piece of green felt that is glued to the inside of the lid. End ID]

Thank you @the-love-songs-are-wrong for adding the image ID in the notes and reminding me to add them!

“I’m super interested in the eccentric / DIY. I’m wearing a red button-up with a hand-patched t-shirt about my love for bunnies. I made it with my best friend who taught me how to sew. We would just hang out and make things together. I’ve been really into figuring out how to upcycle/reinterpret a lot of my clothing to wear 100% of it. Fashion is fun; it’s analytical but also intuitive. My skirt is thrifted, tights from The Sock Man — I get excited to wear them, the red makes me feel like a drawing. My Dr. Martens are channeling my inner CEO.”

I read somewhere that embroidered clothes need to be washed differently. Is this true? I read that right after getting a bunch of embroidery floss to visibly mend some clothes

Washing embroidered clothes

Yup! Check out my post on securing embroidery thread, which includes laundry instructions. My embroidery tag's also a good resource.

Handmade embroidery tends to be fragile, so it's important to properly secure your thread and take good care of the embroidered item. If you don't, you risk for your threads to come loose.

If you're not careful when washing embroidered items, your embroidery threads could get snagged on things like buttons or zippers in the washer.

Try to either wash them by hand (safest), or use your machine's delicate cycle combined with a laundry bag. Always let the item air-dry.

Can tab chains! Making these is so calming

Tabs: found on the street & collected over the course of 15 years

Shoelaces: from old boots

Closings: from thrifted lanyards

First sewing project ✅

It’s a top!!! Pretty cute right? No!😡

The problem with it is that it’s not made out of clothing fabrics so it doesn’t fit very well and it turned out veryy revealing sadly. I made the halter neck too long. Oh well I’ve gotten a lot of experience from this and it’s a good first try for not having a pattern to follow. 🪡 🎀 🧵 🪡

(Also look at me doing the little coquette clothing haul scrunch on the sides of the top lmao😭)

During this project I’ve learned how to sew buttonholes!!!!!! lol I always misread that word. When you sew buttonholes you use a special presserfoot. The picture in the middle are practice buttonholes. 🪡💕

That’s all!!! I’m hoping to actually find some sewing patterns soon as this was a bit of a struggle but other than that I did alright!!!😊

Also ignore how deathly pale I am!!!! Geez lol😅

I LOVE YOU💕

Retirement

My husband worked as a forester for 30 years, and retired this month. He worked as a cabinet-maker before college, and wants to spend at least part of his retirement getting back to his 'woodworking roots.'

Years ago he made a butcher-block style countertop when we updated our kitchen (from the 1950s to the 2010s) He very carefully cut out the part where the double sink would go and tucked that rectangular piece away for 'someday'. Someday came last weekend, when he took the metal base from an old Singer sewing machine, cleaned up the edges of the section of butcher-block, and put it all together.

Since there are ALL KINDS of unique bits and pieces of wood and other materials at Home Farm, he will be able to make quite a few one-of-a-kind pieces with almost no cost for materials. He just needs to figure out how to price them and sell them.

DIY Tutorial - Pill Bottle Container Keychain thing

So this is a really basic ass project that can be done in multiple ways, you can use what im using or theres ways to make it different and better, im just going to show how i made mine here. I made this for holding lil tiny things i find on my outings like small bones, dead bugs and things of the sort

Supplies:

- small plastic bottle of your choice, im using an orange pill bottle because thats what i have

- drill, dremel or other sharp object, if you use a knife or something without a motor, it may be wise to heat it up with a lighter first to make it easier to poke through

- string/wire/chain in any length you choose, im using hemp cord because thats what i have

Optional supplies:

- super glue, if you want the hanging mechanism to be more secure

- key ring/clip/carabiner, i include this as optional because tecnically you can do this without it, like if you wanted it as a pendant or something, i will be using a keyring clip thing because i plan to clip it to my bag

- beads or charms to decorate because that could be fun

Alright tutorial time now

1.) pop the lid off your lil bottle, put the rest to the side.

2.) prepare your drill/sharp object and make a hole in the lid, make sure said hole isnt too big !

3.) feed the string/chain/wire through the hole, tying a knot on the underside of the lid and/or supergluing it.

4.) at this point you’re essentially done when you put the lid on !

After this i just added beads and a keychain clip because i wanted to but of course you can do as you please with this

This is the final product on my bag !

I upgraded my altiods tin sewing kit! (More details are in the image ID)

I added more needles, safety pins, thread, and a sharp pair of thread scissors just small enough to fit inside the tin. There's usually two needle threaders in here but one is in use atm. And there's enough stuff inside to fit perfectly so that the lid can close all the way and nothing slides around so that's nice

I am gonna post my little altiods tin emergency chronic pain/migraine kit within the next few days as well so keep an eye out for that if you're intrested

[ID: various pictures of a metal altoids tin, about 3.5 inches by 2 inches, with sewing supplies inside. A little bag of silver safety pins, varying colors of thread on 5 small spools, more colors of thread wrapped around two small rolls of paper and inside a small plastic bag, a folded piece of paper measuring tape, a small pair of orange thread scissors, a needle threader, and some buttons inside a little bag. There are varying sizes and types of sewing needles that are stuck in a small rectangular piece of green felt that fits on top of everything inside the tin. It has sharps, darning needles, embroidery needles and one curved needle.

The colors of thread included are: light pink, a muted rusty orange, white, a few shades of light brown and off white all wrapped around one piece of rolled paper. The other paper rool has more vibrant saturated colors including red, blue, yellow, dark green, and orange. The little bag had extra recycled pieces of thread i salvaged from other projects that are long enough to still be used. And the colors on the 5 small spools are black, dark mossy warm green, dark brown, light brown and white. End ID]

A lot of stuff I hear in sustainability circles is oh, I still live at home what can I do?

Besties there is so much you can do.

You got chores? Dishes one of them?

You can fill up the sink with water and wash with just that. Less water than constantly running

I find that gross but my grandma does it. When I do dishes I use a jar with a drop of soap, fill it with water, and dip my scrub brush in that so I'm not wasting soap.

Dry dishes with a towel

Air dry your dishes

You can also ask if you can keep a potted plant (edible plants are bonus points) or a garden

Also bonus points if you use food scraps for a garden. That's a whole topic for another post another day but seriously look into it

Or you can trade plants with friends and neighbors

Or steal cuttings

You can wash your clothes on cold, ask if you can hang dry your clothes

You can use eco friendly laundry detergent, or just start using the actual amount needed. That stuff is so concentrated it isn't even funny

Use reusables whenever you can

Try to eat less processed foods

Try to eat more plant based

Try to limit your car trips

Take walks and pick up litter

Go to the beach and pick up litter

Bonus points for separating recyclables

Learn to repair your clothes, a basic sewing kit should be all you need for simple mends

Shop at yard sales, thrift shops, second hand, or local

Shampoo bars

Soap bars

Yes including hand soap

Weave baskets out of toilet paper rolls. No idea how you do it but I've seen it and they look pretty cool

Learn an "old fashioned" skill, like spinning yarn, canning, gardening, basket weaving, wood carving, etc

Try to be creative!! So much about Solarpunk and sustainability is about being creative with your solutions
