Randomness!: What are some cool ways to turn plain clothing into cool punkish-rockish clothing?
I need some good ways to turn regular clothing into cool punkish rockish kind of clothing.
EXAMPLE
Like taking a camouflaged shirt (pink and black) and cutting the front into lines and then putting a shirt with skulls (Black shirt but skulls silver) under it . (But cuts must be big enough to be able to see skulls.)
I have a shirt like this and I thought it was a really cool idea and I was wondering if anyone else can come up with any other cool ideas.
Thank you!

Answer by <3T Shirt Cutting.Answer by Gretta
Hi there! Punk rock is all about doing it yourself, taking pieces and really making them your own! If you’re thinking about a top, I would take a pair of scizzors and make some slits on the sleeves, and maybe one in the back. Then you can take a few safety pins (maximum four) and pin it back together, while still leaving a few gaps! If you’re talking about pants, leggings, or tights, I would definitely take scizzors and make about fifteen horizontal slits that are 3 to 4 inches wide all the way down the outer side of your leg! Pair that with some shiny black boots (doc martens are perfect!), mess your hair up a little and you’re good to go!Answer by HeAtHeR (the girl with the face)

How To Make Your Own Punk Clothes…
=============================
Step 1
Start with T-shirts. Just about any T-shirt can be turned into a punk T-shirt with a pair of scissors. Cut off the arms just below the arm hole seams. Snip away the neck hole just below the neck hole seam. Cut the border off the bottom. You can even cut some length off the bottom if you want your punk T-shirt cropped. Wear the tee by itself or over a ruddy tank top or long sleeved long john shirt.
Step 2
Fashion a skirt. Take a swath of material, scarf or tablecloth with an eye-catching pattern. Place one corner of the cloth at your hip while you wrap the rest of the cloth around your waist. Keep wrapping until the cloth runs out and secure the other end of the cloth with a safety pin at the hip. For a shorter skirt, fold the fabric lengthwise or cut it before you wrap. Wear with fishnet stockings and combat boots.
Step 3
Do up blue jeans. Run a pair of blue jeans through a dye bath, whitewash or both. Snip off the hems so the bottoms fray. Stitch or fasten several chains around the belt loops so the chain hangs down in graceful cascades. Sew on some silly patches with funny sayings, such as “Don’t eat yellow snow.” Couple the jeans with one of your tees and high top canvas sneakers.
Step 4
Jazz up a jacket or vest. Get some snap-on studs from a craft store and line them along the neck and front of the garment. Put some spiked studs along the shoulder seams. If the jacket or vest looks too new, throw it through a whitewash bath before you stud it up. If your vest or jacket is leather, you can also secure a sticker to the back with heavy duty washable glue.
Step 5
Modify the vintage. Take any vintage or thrift store clothing item and run it, too, through a dye bath or white wash. Form-fitting 1950s dresses, an old suit jacket or lace skirts that reach to your ankles are all great options. Heck, those are all great options you can wear at the same time. The vintage stuff looks best if you crumple it, ball it up or randomly wrap rubber bands around it before dying. This way the dye comes out uneven and really punk looking.

How To Make Your Own Rock Clothes…
=============================
Step 1
Alter a T-shirt to create different looks. Use your scissors to cut of the neck band for a wider, looser neckline. Trim 3 inches off the bottom hem to create a cropped top. On a V-neck T-shirt, cut off the sleeves to create a rough-around-the-edges, tough vibe to the T-shirt. To create a layering piece, cut slashes in the body of the shirt and wear it over another T-shirt or tank top.
Step 2
Customize jeans to create an aged look. Soak your jeans in a 2 gallons of cold water with 2 Tbsp. of bleach overnight. Wash them on their own in a washing machine and dry them. Use your scissors to cut 1/4 inch off of the cuffs of the jeans. This will allow them to fray more quickly. Ripped jeans also create a rough-and-tumble look. Decide where you want your rips placed. Clip a slit in that spot 1-inch long with your scissors. Grip the sides of your snip with both hands and tug until the rip is as large as you want it.
Step 3
Create tighter, more form-fitting jeans and pants. Turn the pants inside out and try them on. Carefully pin the cuffs and leg below the knees so that the leg fits more narrowly around the leg. Make sure that the cuff is wide enough to fit over the top of any shoe you wear with the pants. Take the pants off and sew 1/4 inch away from the pins along the outside of the pinned seam. Turn them right side out and try them on. If the seam fits properly, take them off, turn them inside out, and trim the fold so that there is 1/4 inch of seam left. Press seams and turn right side out.
Step 4
Splatter paint T-shirts, jeans or other clothing. Spread newspaper on your floor. Lay clothing on the newspaper. Pour fabric paint into small dishes. Using your paintbrush, carefully drizzle or spatter paint colors onto your clothing. Use one color at a time. Shake the paint on in short, controlled motions to minimize spatter on any other objects. Allow the paint to dry.
For an all-over effect, turn clothing over and repeat. Allow it to dry. Set fabric paint in place with an iron according to the instructions on the fabric paint container.
Step 5
Stencil silhouetted images onto clothing. Cut out a piece of freezer paper and trace your desired shape onto the paper. Carefully cut it out. Place the paper wax-side down onto the fabric and press with a hot, dry iron. The transfer should adhere to the fabric. Carefully daub on fabric paint in the stencil. Peel the stencil off. Allow the paint to dry and set the fabric paint in place with an iron according to the paint’s instructions.
Will you answer my question? If so, thank you in advance!
