Thrifty Thursday: How to customise a beanie

Brightly coloured statement beanies are everywhere at the moment, whether it's indcsn's infamous bobbled wooly profanities or Topshop's neon comic inspired skater style hats. It's also really easy to make one that's totally unique to you and looks bang on trend using Extreme Largeness' iron on patches. You can get 3 for £5 and I can show you how to apply them!


Please seek adult supervision if you're under 16
  1. Choose where you want the patch to be on your beanie. Make sure it's straight, it'll be there forever!
  2. Cover the patch with a tea towel. This will protect the stitching on the patch and the beanie fabric.
  3. Using a high heat, carefully iron on the patch.  Use the steam function on the iron if it has one, this will make more heat and bond the patch to the fabric better. Applying pressure, slowly move the iron from one part of the patch to the other, for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Make sure that all the corners of the patch have been ironed on to the fabric. Iron on for longer if necessary.
  5. Leave to cool, then it's ready to wear!

Extreme Largeness Heart Name Necklaces

wonky mouth much?
Extreme Largeness
Heart Name Necklace
Personalised necklaces from Extreme Largeness are the perfect gift. A massive success over Christmas, there are so many different combinations and colours to choose from, you can get something made that looks extra special for someone special. Which is why they're also perfect for Valentines Day! What more could you want than a necklace that has been personally created by hand for you?
I have an awesome pink and yellow one saying PONIES which I wear all the time. I wore it to last years UK PonyCon, and got lots of comments from the bronies and My Little Pony lovers. I love the cute bubble font, but you can get sharp rock font for a metal look or gorgeous shiny mirror impact font which looks really bold.
There are some great leopard print variations too, my favourite is the natural leopard print which looks really Rockabilly with red font. Or the green and pink one with pink font for trashy chic (yes, that is a genre, I'm not sure if I made up in my head, thinking Ke$ha meets psychobilly)
ALL FOR ONLY £10! Available now online or in the Afflecks shop!

Pixel Picks


Super retro pixelated graphics are popping up everywhere at the moment. Inspired by 80's nostalgia and 8 bit games, we know party rockers LMFAO are fans and we have seen Space Invaders style pieces in Topshop recently in their Spring Summer range.


Extreme Largeness paid homage to this look last season with their Pixelated Heart Necklace last season which comes in small and extra extra large for the gangsta nerd look.


Also a big fan of this awesome Flip Flop and Fangs Pixel Zombie Skater Dress from Blue Banana

Love the print and it would look ace with the necklace!

How to add studs to your clothes!

At Extreme Largeness we have been selling studs in our Afflecks shop and online for quite a while, but we often get people asking how you apply them to your favourite leather jacket, denim hotpants or Converse. Here's our step by step guide answering any questions you might have!
Firstly, there are two types of studs, pyramid and screw studs. Pyramid studs have two small prongs on the back and screw studs (usually spike or cone shaped) have a small screw inside them.
HOW TO APPLY PYRAMID STUDS
 
  1. Our studs have 2 small prongs on the back which you
    use to apply them to your clothing
  2. Position the stud wherever you want it to go on your
    clothing
  3. Push the 2 prongs on the back of the stud through the
    clothing
  4. Bend the two prongs inwards to secure the stud, you
    can do this using a small pair of pliers, a thimble or a
    coin
  5. Make sure your stud is securely fastened to your
    clothing
  6. Repeat for each stud


HOW TO APPLY SCREW STUDS


  1. Screw studs have a screw inside the stud, you can
    loosen this with a screwdriver or twisting it by hand
  2. Make a really small hole in whatever fabric you want
    to customise. You can use belt hole punch or cut a hole
    with a pair of scissors. Please seek adult supervision
    if you are under 16.
  3. Push the screw through the hole in the cloth.
  4. Twist the stud onto the screw
  5. Repeat for each stud.
