Have you made your own TH gear and equipment?

[Phoebe]

Hello everyone.

I was curious if people on this forum made their own personalised TH gear, stuff like the TH symbol on shoes or teeshirts or anything like that.

I was on a different thread before and there was a 2011 Tokio Hotel calendar (probs unofficial merchandise) and I thought, wait, it would be really cool to make your own personalised TH merch and that way, it would be more meaningful as well.

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to get white canvas shoes and make TH shoes and maybe I'll try making a calender sometime during my school break as well.

So I was curious if anyone else made their own merch and post photos and share! :D

PS I'm sorry if this thread's already been made somewhere else. I couldn't find one like this in the General discussion area, but feel free to medge/remove this thread and maybe redirect me to the thread which already exisits.

Happy crafting! :)

As of now I have not made anything, I've just bought. Though I have a simple tote bag design in mind that I wouldn't mind creating.

would really appreciate soem advice and suggestions

[Phoebe]

Finally got around to drawing on my shoes. I kept the desgin simple and I'm actually impressed by the lack of spreading from my ink pen.

I was going to out some lyrics on them but then decided against it.

Now I want to decorate another pair of shoes...:geek:

[Diosita]

wow!!! they are really cool!!!!!
I want to decorate my converse :3 I think I will do it for my birthday.

[Phoebe]

^thanks
I forgot the break the circle though! I got through one and then I was like: arghhhhhhh I actually had to go outside and calm down before I resumed inking them otherwise it would have been worse.

Yeah, I was about ot draw on my converse shoes and then I realised they were too expensive to wreck if I made a mistake (which I did :( )

Have you been making more necklaces?

[Diosita]

I can't :(

I don't have polymer clay, and I have to buy it from US and pay shipping cost to Colombia latin america.

maybe I will get it in christmas :) I hope..

[Phoebe]

Hmm what exactly IS polymer clay?

[lorsbun]

[Mikoto]

Yay you finished it !

It looks really nice, but... are you gonna print the pictures separately ?
Because some are bigger than the others and I can't figure out how you would put them all in a "book" =/

Still, it gives me ideas for when I have a printer.

you can make them with the size you want in the printer, it makes them all the same size, I think, when I printed a picture it asked what size do I liked or maybe it works with a determined size, but you can change it. ^__^

[Gata Gulosa]

Yeah but if it's not the original size, it might look strange.

I mean, it's like when you put a pic as desktop background and "stretch" it to fill the whole screen. It doesn't look good =/

[Diosita]

when I put a picture in the background, if it's small it keeps with a black frame behind it, but if it is big, it keeps the same as the original.

maybe you have to ask someone who knows well about systems, or you can go and take a look in the settings :) but be careful xD

[Phoebe]

Hii Jimmy!
Yes, actually I printed them out today. I just tweaked them a little on paint, oh how sophisticated :P and just stretched them a little. And the printer auto-fixed it for me and it doesn't look weird either. Yes I printed each of them separately on glossy photo paper and I have 12 other A4 photos to put up as well.
My room is going through a complete overhaul. I'll post photos when I finish putting them up :D

*squeals in excitement

[Gata Gulosa]

That's good if the size difference isn't too big and pictures don't turn out to look weird ^_^

I would be waaay too lazy to start making a calendar. Or then I would just make one picture per month x)
Are you gonna put them all on the walls now or one after the other ?

[Phoebe]

They're on my walls now! 24 pieces of A4 paper on my wall :D :D :D
