🦇Cheap DIY Alt/Gothic Tops🦇 

I love how the solution to empty space is "let's add lacing"

as for the fabric paint: you don't have to do as many layers if you put down a layer of black acrylic first. i learned this from mandible bone over here on youtube, and it actually really works because it keeps your paint from soaking into the fabric as much! it can make your paint chip a bit, but if that's not a problem then i would give this a try :]

The striped top omg. It just kept getting better. You have a great eye

tbh having to layer white on black fabric paint is something ive found you need to do regardless of what paint you use, but the paint ive found that works the best is using liquitex white acrylic paint, with or without fabric medium mixed in. it goes down pretty opaque, and dries much more flexible than other acrylic paint ive used. i love how the bustier turned out especially!

There was a big thunderstorm right now that was making me pretty anxious, and watching you make goth clothing really helped calm me down for soms reason. Thank you!

This video perfectly fits my needs rn. Currently redecorating my bedroom and have thrown away like 70% of my wardrobe so I need new ideas for more goth clothes :DD ofc I’ve looked at stuff like Disturbia and killstar but jeez they’re expensive🙄😬 Edit: AH the kitty just tryna help you with your crafts what a helper :,)))

I am not exaggerating when I say, your videos are the best on the internet and are such a comfort/inspiration to me. feels like a relief from the toxic fake narcissism the internet has become and reminds me of the old days

wow! I wish I learned more about this when I was younger but it’s never too late! Specially with these gorgeous designs and ideas 😍 you have so much talent !

I’m so happy I discovered your channel last summer/fall! It’s helped me so much find my own style and just have confidence to dress how I really want to! :) you are so creative :D

Omg I needed this! I've been looking for inspiration for some clothing diys, I've stopped buying fast fashion so its been hard finding tops n stuff edit: something you can do if you want a corset detail but u don't have any grommets is use saftey pins! You line them up and thread ribbon or whatever string you want to and it gives that corset effect!

This was so much fun to watch, I love it. You can use fabric softener to mix with regular acrylic paint and it works really nice for fabric. I highly recommend. And I know what you mean about fabric scissors, they are so worth it. Mine are very special to me for a kind of silly reason; I went to a fabric store by myself for the first time and I wanted to buy scissors and I had no idea which ones I should get when the sweetest little old lady came up to me and told me all about the different qualities and then gave me a coupon because I think she knew I wasn't going to be able to splurge on the nicer ones. And then she just disappeared! I didn't see her again in the store. My husband also likes to make jokes about handing them to me when I need paper scissors, it's truly a joke. He gets legit "someone used fabric scissors on paper? oh well, so tragic they died" :P he's a goof ball like that.

Thank you for inspiration, right now I'm more into pastel/boho than gothic/emo stuff, but it still makes me want to create something, regardless of style. And that's something. The first project is really awesome.

These are so cool, teenage me would have loved clothes like this! I really need to get myself a sewing machine so that I can customize some of my clothes.

A pressing cloth is just any cloth/layer between the heat bond and the iron, i usually use a towel or a cloth napkin or smth

aaaa your channel has quickly become a massive special interest of mine lol. i hope you dont mind. im more on the masc side and dont really wear small tops but i always gotta watch your videos because they give me an inordinate amount of happiness

28:46 You could also try bleaching it over the stencil. Especially since it's a black color, that might help.

Absolutely love these ideas, Rabbit! I've definitely been feeling a bit disappointed in my wardrobe again lately. Looking forward to trying some of these ideas

wow this hair colour suits you so well !!!!

They all turned out to be awesome apparels of my dreams! i love those romantic dark gloves, chokers and tops!

I tend to use old teatowels as pressing mats when I use heat and bond. I don't really like wasting things and otherwise they'd wind up in the garbage bin or something so it works out well

Loving these transformations! 🖤 your creativity has inspired me and I hope to do a little refresh to some of my clothes soon 🦇

I feel ya on the white-on-black stenciling. What I typically do is put down a layer of watered down fabric medium (someone else mentioned black fabric paint, that should work too) to provide a better surface and keep the texture of the shirt from coming through, it's a pretty common trick with airbrushing. I usually mix my own paints using fabric medium and acrylic ink, that'll get you much higher pigmentation than cheap fabric paints, and a bottle of ink should last you a long time, especially if you don't do it super often. You could also totally just mix the ink straight into the paint you have, no need for buying seperate fabric medium. Thinning out the paints can help the lower layers bind into the fabric better, and reduces splotchiness with cheaper paints. You can get special thinners (liquitex flow aid is great stuff) that don't dilute too much, though water will also work. Just add a drop or two at a time until you find a good ratio. You can even thin with inks and get a bit better flow and better colour ;-) though a bit of flow aid/water will still likely help. It mostly comes down to practice and knowing your supplies, but those pointers are things that have helped me get thin non-plasticky layers of white that can also be used as a base for doing other colours on black background. Good luck and keep experimenting!

do you make or customize jewelery? I would love to see a video on that if you do! 😻😻😻

I absolute love your looks, with the tops you designed. (first stripy one my favorite), I wish I could buy exactly those outfits X) And I don't dress gothic or dark that often. I think it's the favorite gothic looks I have ever seen! totally surprised in a good way of this video (and it's soo relaxing to watch you talk and make them ^^)

You can use screenprinting white fabric ink!! It works well for me

I really like the red ribbon one and the purple bat one. I am definitely going to try making a bat patch like that. Honestly, they all look really cute!

i found ur channel a few months ago and i’m in LOVEEE i love watching ur videos and every time i watch them i get so inspired

Wow very creative. I love your style and creativity.

These are so good! I feel like these are very different from regular gothy/alt DIY clothes. Way more creative and cool! 💕

yeah, cartoon goth is so cool!

Holy cow, this was amazing! So inventive! I love this.

I love seeing people sharing their creativity online for others to take inspo from or even just witness your awesome work! keep it up, Iove these videos!

This video was so good! I’d love a video about making the skirt out of that dress but no worries if that’s too much!!

these look amazing!!!! definitely using for inspiration once i get my sewing machine

you did great. press cloths are just clothes that you press through. usually quite thin fabric. they prevent any sticky stuff from the interfacing transferring onto the iron and making it gross. and you can buy fabric medium which you mix into acrylic paint to help the acrylic to not crack onyou. that might work better. or perhaps you could just mix your awful fabric paint with acrylic to use it in the future.

every time I watch their videos ans introduce themself I have to double take like wait their name isn't rattus rattus!?

your videos have been really comforting recently

Just started watching you because of your custom doll videos! I’m obsessed with all of your custom dolls they are all so cool and unique I just love them. I also just love everything about you. Your voice is so comforting and whenever you show us how you made your custom dolls its inspires me to branch out of fashion aesthetics and try doll customizing.

I wanna see the purple mlp in the opening and closing background😭💜 Also i dig the shirt with the detached long sleeves soooo much im definitely gonna do something like that even though i live in a desert i’ll wear it this winter lol

The bat shirt has very hex girls vibes 👀🎵

thank you so much for your content, you have been a great comfort !!!

Hello......I love your videos too

this is the best sewing video i’ve found in months 😭 you did so much but i was following you the entire time. the way you explain things is a lot easier to understand

I love how all of these came out!!! You have such a good eye for DIY-ing projects, it's so cool! Also super random, where did you get those black and white striped shorts?? I love them!

With fabric paint, specifically white paint, I've had a lot more luck with Imagin8 brand paint from Michael's. The consistency was able to produce some really crisp art without chipping.

i love you for not shaving your armpits, you're the first gothic woman on the internet I've seen who doesn't shave either. THANK YOU ❤

I'm trying to diy a long black knit skirt. It's very comfortable and plain. I want some goth/dark alternative ideas for it. I love your clothes 🖤

These are amazing! I definitely took inspiration for my personal closet- thank you Rabbit! :)

Tes créations sont splendides 🍥🍡🖤

Adorable!!! Just as I expected. They r all so creative!

If I wasn't working on other projects I'd do stuff like this for myself too but I'm so behind on cosplay stuff TwT(machine was jammed and only got the stuff to clean it last night ;-;) ALL OF THESE TURNED OUT SO COOL AND WHEN I HAVE TIME AGAIN I WILL RETURN TO THIS FOR INSPO!!!🖤💕🖤💕🖤

Something I’ve seen, is if you mix fabric softener with acrylic paint you get a much easier to work with fabric paint

So excited for this videooo

I recommend getting a belt hole puncher! Ive had to use them for belts so many times but I also use it to cut holes in fabric for grommets. Might not be best for big grommets but it works for me! If yall have a sewing machine you can do button holes instead of grommets.

You inspire me so much! You are so cool and I love ur videos!! 🕸🦇🌸💫🌙💞🐈‍⬛

heat n bond is great for appliques, i love using it. not sure if you know but after you iron it on the fabric you can peel the backing and iron that piece of fabric on another and it's a really strong adhesive between the two fabrics so it's much easier to sew together. anyway great video :) you're really creative and there's lots of cool ideas in this video

You’re awesome bro, so much inspiration form this , very cool

Thank you so so much for the inspo !! Can't wait to get my sewing machine back !

For the stenciling you should get yourself some textile paint, it’s different from regular craft fabric paint and it’s much higher in quality. It costs a bit more but is really worth it.

Here is 2024 and I love the last shirt ❤

maybe a white screen printing paint would yield better results with the stenciling? ive seen some really good ones that cover black well, the only problem there then i think would be setting it bc iirc white inks usually have to go through like a heat curing process

I love your videos! Always happy when one shows up in my subscription feed

totally feel you on the fabric paint! i had a horrific experience with fabric paint last halloween..😬

soooooo cute!!!!! im mad i missed this before!!!

instant subscribe! loved this so much

you should try screen printing paint next time :) i love all of the tutorials! i cant wait to make some of these

wowww these are amazing! thank you 😭♥♥

24:14 oh i NEED to make a top like this that’s absolutely gorgeous

옷 진짜 예쁘당....

Loved this video, Rabbit!! Such cute ideas 😍😍 very inspiring! Is it possible to make a video on how to transform thrifted clothes that just don't fit? (As in wayyy too small??) Because I recently got this dress with mermaids all over the fabric and am SO BUMBED it didn't fit 😩 I was gonna maybe make some arm-sleeves but I'm not sure it'd work due to the placement of the mermaids. You're so good at this kinda thing and wondered if you'd have any creative input? Please and thank you!! 💞

Hihi, you have such awesome content. I would love to meet and thrift shop/style with you some day soon.❤

hey Rabbit and everyone in the comments! I am very thankful for this video 💖 I have a question though. does anyone know how to remove print from a tshirt? I have tried both ironing methods and acetone methods on multiple tshirt but it doesnt work! I really need to remove it because my closet is like 80% of tshirt with terrible prints that I could DIY into something fabulous if I remove it but I just dont know how (also Im really broke so I cant buy different clothes)

Really helpful video.

Love everything you do you’re awesome Rabbit have a great day

duuuude these are so cool!!

HEYYYYY SHARING IS CARING SISTER GIMME SOME OF THOSE MONSTER HIGH DOLLS😭

Hi! I was wondering if you have done a video on more modest alternative fashion? I don’t really know if I can explain it but, kinda hijabi friendly looks? Or like dress code friendly. Thank you and goodbye.

My goodness you look amazing! How did you get started making your doll clothes?

I got 14 and i want make closets like you🖤💜🖤

Okay I love EVERYTHING but as new to these kinda items...how do we do with washing with all the metal?? Like with the third outfit I'm worried those gorgeous sleeves would be destroyed.

these came out so cute

These are such cool ideas Now I just gotta learn how to sew :,)

yes

Looooove love love this video

I love all your ideas, but it's very difficult for me to do that :(

Muy interesante Guapisima

I need to figure out how to make the sewing machine work... I know how to use a sewing machine, I just haven't used one in years and I don't know how to use the one I currently have access to
