Punk Crafts: DIY as Rebellion Punk isn’t just loud music — it’s glue, thread, and safety pins. From the start, punks used arts and crafts as a way to fight back against consumer culture. Why buy when you can make it raw, messy, and yours? • Jackets as Canvases – Painted slogans, hammered-in studs, and one-of-a-kind designs turned clothing into protest art. • Zines – Hand-cut, pasted, and photocopied booklets became underground newspapers for punks to share ideas and art. • Patchwork Fashion – Scraps of fabric, tartan, and band logos stitched or pinned onto clothes made every outfit a rebellion. • Safety Pin Jewelry – Cheap, sharp, and iconic — a whole look created from a hardware store box. • Flyers & Posters – DIY collages with cut-out letters and chaotic layouts spread the word about shows and scenes. Punk crafts weren’t about perfection — they were about expression, community, and resistance. Every stitch, staple, and smear of paint shouted: we don’t need permission to create.

Hey! I just finished an art challenge for the kiddos (or whoever). Free and self paced. 🎨 (Comes with printable badge sheet and official Master Maker certificate) It’s on the classroom page

What project has everyone got going on right now? I have a lot of unfinished projects and can't decide if I should actually finish something or start new...what do you guys think?
