Punk Pants!
Hello! I have a pair of dark blue jeans that I really want to punk out. I don't have a sewing machine but I have a few scraps of fabric I'd love to add, and I want to kinda rip it up and make the holes look natural. Any ideas? Links to sites and/or pictures that would help inspire would be greatly appreciated. Oh- the wierder designs and patterns, the better. I want these jeans to really stand out and look as punky as possible. Thanks!

Just saying..punk isn't all about baggy pants and chains and stuff...what you'll probably wanna do is sew them skin tight, and add band patches and things. Chains I guess aren't too bad unless you over do it. I don't know if adding studs will make it 'punk', but who knows haha. That's basically all i can really say about thinnnnngs

If your definition of punk is the same as mine, then try one or more of the following:
Embellishments:
1. Cut a long slit. Then pin the sides of the slit together with safety pins (the bigger the pins the better).
2. Remove the belt loops, if there are any. Make the holes where the loops were big enough to thread a strip of leather, small chain, piece of fabric etc. through them like a belt.
3. Add buttons, patches, etc.
4. Add designs with fabric paint. Use this one sparingly, it can be cheesy if overdone.
Aging:
1. You can use bleach to create spots, patterns, etc. Get creative. When you are satisfied with your design, be sure to wash the pants really well to stop the bleaching process.
2. Roll the jeans into a bundle/ball as if you were going to tie-dye them. Doesn't hurt to fill them with sharp rocks first. Then, drag them around behind your car for a few days. Seriously.
3. Also, just washing them a few times in hot water will help to age them, fray any holes, etc.
Don't ask me how I know this stuff. Do let me know how they turn out!

im not really a punk dresser, so i cant really think of any good designs for that, BUT, you can get fabric glue instead of sewing things on. maybe try glueing a few buttons on it? ive heard if you put drops of bleach on it, it creates the worn out stain look. you can also get fabric paint (come in tubes with a pointy end) or fabric markers to draw designs on them also. hope i helped!

find reflective material (like stuff you'd wear if you rode a bike) and sew it on. personally, I like shiny things. you could put duct tape on it, too.
