About That Tutorial

I filmed the mini hat tutorial….but I hated it!
It seemed like I rushed through it, the material looked awful…I would never wear it!

But, things are starting to straighten out, so hopefully I will have enough money to put more effort towards my videos and crafts and things!

I am currently playing with shrinky dinks, and listening to "Punk goes Christmas" on spotify. I don't know what I'm doing with my life right now, I'm kind of lost today. Its almost like I don't know how to be me, its weird.

In other news, I'd love to put cool things up in my store, so get this:

      + I have a T-shirt press (my uncle shares with me)

      - I don't have the money for the paper or ink

+ I own 2 different sewing machines

-Not enough material to sew anything

+ A bunch of acrylic paint

- Nothing to paint

See the issue? HAHA its so ridiculous. 

You know what I've been doing for the past few weeks? Trying to keep the house clean, a fucking impossible task!! Every time I turn around, its messed up somehow…I'll spare you the details.

So, I am sitting with grams, I don't know how to entertain her because she hates me right now, any noise I make she yells at me LOL. Its funny, but I really don't wanna keep her pissed off all day. Its after 1pm and my man is still in bed…MY LIFE RIGHT NOW, THO!!!!!!! 

IF ONLY I HAD FRIENDS!!!!!!! 

I HAVE NO FRIENDS….even if I did, I'm sure none of them would be patient with my obligations and what not. 

Just wanted to let ya know whats up, and say HI!!

 Sorry I suck.

My Top Ten Must Haves *Goth DIY* + Examples

Instead of spending your life savings on a few articles of clothing, invest in materials!!

If you step back and look at the amount that you spend on materials, you might say "Well, I could've just bought that outfit already." But, if you are like me, I don't want what is available to everyone else. I love unique and individualized things, so I invest in my materials. In the long run, its worth it, here are some of my personal tips:

1. Thrifting (it saves lives) You can find blank canvases while thrifting!
2. Acrylic paints! Painting on your own clothing is cheaper than paying a company that prints the same T for millions of other consumers.
3. Cheap Materials. Your local super market or fabric stores will have some really cheap fabric, I always go for stretchy, that way when your measurements are off, its not that big of a deal. Also, look for really thin, sheer material, this will come in handy if you want to make your own screen for screen printing!
4. WOOD GLUE! Its always handy and a perfect glue for screens (screen printing)
5. SALES!! At your crafty stores, always look at the clearance sections! 
6. Know your brands! At Hobby Lobby, I always have a specific brand I stick to, because I know how well the quality is for the price.
7. Bring a friend. Friends can help you sweep the stores and help find what you are looking for faster.
8. Food coloring (kool-aid)! Its cheap and always handy!
9. Poster board/Cardboard. For anything and everything
10. Sharp Utensils!! Exacto knives are preferred due to their precision, but a box cutter works too.

Things you can do if you already have these things:

Acrylic paints allow you to paint your own Coffins!

Sheer Material=SCREEN PRINTING DIY!!! (thats an embroidery ring holding the screen)

Thrift material and Cardboard, DIY Mini hat!

Poster board and Cardboard+Sharp Utensil=Awesome project time!!

Kool-aid or other inexpensive dyes can dye your Wool/Human hair weave/Clothing etc.
