Basic Fishnet Shirt ; Кофты в Сеточку



Every goth blog these days seems to have a tutorial for fishnet shirts of some kind. Usually the sort made with tights. And since this is Kismet's blog and not every blog, I won't tell you how to make a fishnet shirt out of tights. But I'll give you a link to Antimony and Lace, who felt like they needed to explain everything themselves. I know it says gloves. That's because it's fishnet shirts AND gloves.

So why did I make a post about fishnet shirts if I wasn't going to talk about them?  Well, because I have a fishnet shirt. But after wearing it for some time, I noticed the ends of the sleeves were stretching and it wouldn't stay on how I wanted anymore.  I did not want to make a new one because I liked my old one and only wore it for some time and it looked really nice. I am sure something like this has once happened to everyone. So when that happens, what do you do?

Каждый гот блог в эти дни, кажется, руководство для какой-то кофты в сеточку . Обычно это сделаны из колготок. А раз это блог Kismet и не каждый блог, я не скажу вам, как сделать кофты в сеточку  из колготок. Но я дам вам ссылку на Antimony and Lace, которые чувствовали, что они должны все объяснить сами.

Так почему же я делаю сообщение о кофты в сеточку , если я не буду говорить о них? Ну, потому что у меня есть  кофты в сеточку . Но после ношения в течение некоторого времени, я заметил, концы рукавов были растянуты, и больше он не держитсе как я хотел . Я не хочу делать новый, потому что мне понравилась моя старая и только носил ее в течение некоторого времени, и это выглядело очень мило. Я уверен, что-то подобное уже однажды случилось со всеми. Так что, когда это случится, что же делать?


One way to do fix is if you have an old pair of fingerless gloves or even armwarmers. They must be ones that fit snugly though, like these (which means leather or PVC ones won't work):

Один из способов сделать исправление, если у вас есть старая пара перчатки без пальцев или митенки. Они должны быть те, которые плотно прилегают,  как эти (что
означает, кожи или ПВХ не пойдет):

You can try stitching them to the shirt, so that it looks like you are wearing a fishnet shirt and the gloves on top. If you don't have gloves, you can use fabric from old t-shirt to make gloves, which I will write about later.You can even try using those cloth elastic things and see if that works. 


Вы можете попробовать пришить их к кофте, так что он выглядит как вы носите ковту в сеточку перчатки и сверху. Если у вас нет перчаток, вы можете использовать ткани из старой футболке и сделать перчатки, о которых я напишу чуть позже. Вы даже можете попробовать использовать тканевые резинки, если это работает.

The "Gothbox"

Today I will show you how to transform a box that you may have lying around the house. Mine was from some makeup stuff I got last Christmas. It looked nice and was too good quality to throw out. Buy bright oringe with blue and pink flowers? No way!

Here it is when it is finished:




First what I did was paint the inside fabric, the bottom of the box and the fabric part at the back black with fabric paint. Ordinary acrylic paint would work too. Don't worry if you get some paint on the top or sides of the box, you will not see that when it's finish. 

When that is done and it is drying, go on the computer and fing your favorite gothic pictures. You can use band pictures, art, photographs or whatever you choose.

Go into Powerpoint and arrange the pictures to make a collage the size the top of your box is, or a little smaller. THen you can add words or quotes on top of the pictures.

When you are happy with your collage you can print it out. Then cut it out and glue on the top of the box with a glue stick. If your collage is smaller then the top of your box, color the remaining area on the top of the box black with a Sharpie.

Cover the top of your box with clear packaging tape.




Now you can put safety pins through trhe top part of the box like I did. Be careful not tho rip the tape or paper when doing this.

When the top pf thwe box is done you need to make the sides. I used Britshafix, which is a lind of self-adhesive paper. You can paint the sides of the box or cover them with pictures if you want.

If you are using adhesive paper like me, don't measure it. it just takes up too much time. Cut a slightly bigger piece and then just cut off the extra and it will be faster and look better.

Once the sides of the box are done, you can decorate it with more safety pins or put paper or fabric on the inside.

Here is how mine looks. I used it for papers and some poems that I did not write in my notebook.
