How-to make a fanny pack, Threadbanger Projects

I have to know. Are those glasses prescription or fake?

Fanny packs are never okay.

Looking stupid makes you smart? Yeah, I only buy/wear clothing and accessories designed by professionals for a reason. I want my time back from you hipsters.

they're cool (:

can anyone help me find this pattern? I looked around the RHLS site but couldn't find it...

I can't believe I wasted 10 minutes of my day watching this video...this guy is so oddly fake NY/MTV raps/hipster deuche it becomes compelling. F*** my life.

I think she very pretty and give them both props for being creative... These comments sound like self hate...lets spread the love!

maybe a penis, but definitely some herpes on the upper lip yikes

i'm pretty sure that chick has a penis

imagine what their retarded hipster love child would look like.

P.S. Seriously, All I am getting from your comments is a lot of sexual frustration, fear, and hate. Spread the love like Jesus! Not everyone is your enemy. Have a nice day!

Hey. Stop hatin'... haters. LOL

I think you gotta be really good looking to get away with wearing ironically shitty looking clothes. Otherwise you just look clownish - like these two.

Hipsters are the ugliest fucking people on the planet. Fanny packs make you faggot hipsters. No one other than other faggot hipsters think you're cool. Kill yourselves.

yeah, lets destroy a backpack to make a Pos man purse

Way to stick it to some poor chinese girl i n a factory!! Way to go you fucking faggot hipsters!!!

Ohhh... sewing is so coool!... er I mean hip!!

I think they are brave for wearing whatever they want. You should be brave too. ^_^ thanks for the tutorial.

OMG WHERE DID THAT GUY GET THOSE GLASSES LOLZZZ!!!111!

Don't hate! Fanny packs are the shit so take a big wiff!

...fucking hipsters

"Fanny Packing Heat" You couldn't come up with a better name than that?

i just love that they have matching pink nail polish

Do not bring the fanny pack back. Leave it to keep rotting.

Terrible.

So, is being a hipster all about spending more money to look like you spent less? Seriously, though, while the end product was useful and sewn well [and I did like the messenger bag look], why not go to the same thrift store you bought those backpacks for $4 and get a fanny pack for like, $1? A retro one, at that? I know; I get the DIY aspect. But I've seen DIY projects with a better point than this.

I thought the way they were dressed was a joking nod to hipsters at first. No such luck.

hey y'all, don't hate. they made a super bitchen fanny pack. give em props. i myself wear a fanny pack.. a black, small, leather one, that i wear in front, and lower than that.. so i don't look so stupid. but heyy, i totally love fanny packs. most convenient invention ever. don't be mean to the harmless hipsters.

Keep it up and lots of luck.

I love these guys and the fanny pack! Thanks that was/is amazingly awesome. :)

so lame.

That dude looks like a gay Ed Norton.

I LOVE ITTTTTT

Also funny is that they totally dig each other rather than wretching as we might.

what i love is that they will regret even making one in a month or so. let alone giving a how to video.

The combined stench of that asshole's greasy SIDE mullet and that sweaty slut's clap trap is almost making my eyes burn from here....

that guy has the yellowist teeth ive ever seen

I made the fanny-pack as instructed by this video, and now I have AIDS. Thanks a lot you hipster pieces of shit.

(crap)

Their fashion consultant is obviously a blind man. Did they dig that cap out of a thrift store dumpster?

Are these people effing serious? Shit.. I immediately hated these two, even before I heard his little hipster lisp. And yes, Fanny-Packs are cool the same way that Mullets are cool. It's all about the getting to laugh at the goober who actually wears one.

Ha-ha-ha! I enjoyed this vid but, I'll have to pass on this project. Thanx, but, No Thanx.

This would be a useful video if, you know, wearing a fanny pack didn't make you look like a total douche. Maybe I'll find a video on how to tie a sweater over my shoulders next! =D

She has a mustache and he doesn't; you all have a reason to be angry. Go forth and be angry my children.

Wow. What an asshole, making a big deal out of a fanny pack one shouldn't bother with if not interested... ESPECIALLY OTHER PEOPLES LIVES! You don't even know them personally. Mr. Burg, why so bitter? Why does a simple fanny pack & these attention-getting accessories bother you? Why does self-promotion bother you? Sounds like you've been oppressed. As for the fanny pack, I wouldn't wear it, but the idea is awesome indeed.

I'm just astounded that Mr. Burg and his ilk are spending their time on threadbanger, when there are so many dogs to kick and people to insult. I'm a 53 year old, college-educated, no tats or piercings, mom of 6. I love threadbanger, and it gives me lots of ideas for things to make. I modify some of them for my own use, make some as shown, and totally applaud everyone who contributes. Mr. Burg and Timmy, let it go. We don't put you down, so leave us in peace. Go see what Glenn Beck has to say today.

ARE YOU GODDAMN PEOPLE RETARDED? That is the stupidest piece of shit that I have ever seen. If I looked like any of you hipster douche rockets I would fucking step in front of a train and take a goddamn dirt nap to rid the world of another shitty dressed fuckhead.

that's actually not bad! if, you know, it didn't look like something pulled out of a landfill. (not to mention me nor anyone i know has the necessary equipment.) personally, i'd just go BUY a shoulder bag.

Also, who the fuck decided fanny packs were cool "again?" (Shit, when were they ever cool?) Maybe they're cool among hipsters, since everyone else hates the fucking things.

God hipsters are nasty. Go, you douchebags!

sadness. why are we (yep, I'm including myself) getting so worked up over clothing? there are so many more pertinent issues we could focus on... :( if you go to the site and read about the idea behind the company, you'll see that they're actually making a point and effort to be globally responsible :/

disappointed...maybe. amused...certainly.

jesus. this kid's father is so disappointed.

Why are people so afraid of something because it's different? I wouldn't wear it, but it doesn't make me ANGRY that someone else wants to wear it. And why assume that because someone wears something different from the norm, they're doing it to get attention? Did it ever cross your mind that they actually LIKE what they're wearing/making? WTF is happening to this country? Hate thy neighbor for his/her different appearance! Publicly wish for his/her death! Mymymy. I'd rather hang out with just about anyone else than be around an asshole.

seriously?

Its a good thing so many people are trying to defend how hipsters ruin EVERYTHING for EVERYBODY. latfh. It rules.

damn, hipsters have TOO much time on their hands between fapping and doing coke

we're all hipsters at heart. come on

Maybe there is a project better suited for some of you... like " How to Make a Gag for People with Bad Attitudes and Foul Mouths!"

latfh? look. so they look like 'fags'. whatever. do you want them to apologize for not wearing fucking northfaces and ed hardy ts with their fucking ubiquitous plaid shorts. oh man, he doesn't have a fauxhawk:( fuck, who the fuck cares. i hate self aggrandizing pretentious pitchfork reading dbags as much as the next guy, but fuck. latfh? no shit, they know what they look like when they go outside. they know they look ridiculous, and that you'll laff. they dont give a fuck. jesus christ, crucifying them for recycling used goods. sorry they didnt go out and spend their daddy's money at forever 21 or zumiez look at those fucking boring judgement faggots!

That guy reminds me of Edward Norton for some reason...

Ok, putting up hater comments like hipsters should die is just as retarded as dressing up like a hipster. There is one good point to be made here though. Hipsters, you dress up in clothes that you obviously want to draw attention with (hello...plastic chain, disheveled hair, pube beard) much like the guy who buys the yellow mustang. Then you wonder why people are intrigued or are drawn to looking or gawking at you. This hipster game of I am going to dress weirder than the next guy so I can be noticed amongst the masses is little more than a narcissistic way of being what douche bags call "the one upper." If you don't want to draw unneeded criticism or attention, I don't suggest conformity, but I do suggest not wearing your pink unitard with heals and a fanny pack (especially dudes). There is always a common ground somewhere in between conformity and hipster-dom and once again you guys are playing on the end of one of the extremes. In the meantime, people will keep subjecting you to their opinions much like you subjecting them to your obviously far fetched and narcissistic fashion ways (not to mention it is almost hard on the eyes...I mean come on imagine starring at some kids crappy crayon drawing all day). Kind of an eye for an eye, don't you think?

Totally not my thing, but all the hate vampires need to get a life.

I think it's cool! I wish latfh.com would upload videos themselves instead of linking them, so all these jerks can't make fun of perfectly harmless hipsters.

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

It is cute for an 8 year old. I guess I'm ADD, because I couldn't help but be distracted by her chipped nail polish.

I love hipsters lol

Guys, there is so much negativity here. Stop.

THAT LOOKS SO COOL. But hey do you think that fanny pack would have enough space to hold all my regret over my decision to wear plastic chain necklaces and eyeglasses from the seventies? Oh and I hope it's waterproof so I can cry into it every time I remember the fact that my parents disowned me. GREAT TUTORIAL CANT WAIT FOR MORE

Very cute... But Very Dirty

LOOK AT THESE FUCKING HIPSTERS

soooo disappointed they didnt use the full on wubbzy bit from the blue bag, would been hella coola

That made me laugh. First I was thinking it was a waste of my time to watch, but I got a good laugh out of it. :]

Those guys look like they are a little too old to be doing whatever it is that they do. I also with they would stop buying children's items from thrift stores since there are some needy children that would probably appreciate them more than these "threadbangers". I also strongly feel that if they have the ability to make a fanny pack out of multiple children's backpacks, they could apply those abilities in a better career, or whatever it is that they do.

I think this is cool :) i am thinking about making one, but i like the idea of wearing it across a shoulder. People why do you want to pick on anyone they are just trying to give people ideas...RHLS keep it going :)

I don't like fanny packs, but it's still a good tutorial. I may make one for a friend that still wears them. However, it does give me a recon idea to make a hip bag similar to the one from HappyCow (without leather of course) that is worn on Burn Notice. I love how these tutorials inspire me to creat all sorts of things from one simple idea!

fanny packs weren't cool to begin with. neither are cheap backpacks. neither are hipsters. when you add it all together it's totally badass!

nice haircut...douchebag.

so much fun!!!!!

I wish these two would fall in front of an on coming L train. Die hipsters!

OH GOD. LOOK AT THOSE FUCKING HIPSTERS. That guy's hair... and the yellow chain. I mean... is he serious?

Wow those kids are really fucking cool. Not.

Ha, that dudes accent is ftw! Hotness!

I LOVE THIS. what a great crafty tutorial.

Holy Fuck those are probably not even prescription glasses. FUCK!

So…I think Sarah's cute.

Fucking LOSER hipsters. May they all die out.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Aww, you fucking hipsters crack me up.

FUCKING.HIPSTERS

omg LATFH!!! Before I ever wear a fanny pack, I hope I'm shoot & killed... i.e. 1.5 hours of my life I'm not wasting

Look at these fucking hipsters!

That fucker's teeth are horrific. Somehow, the teeth are worse than his outfit.

My fucking god. Do you all really dress up like clowns every day? Douchetastic. Also, 2 commercials in a 3 minute video?! Threadbanger? It's like Make for brain dead idiots.

hahahahahahahaha. Wait, fanny pack? Really? That's 1.5 hours of my life I won't be wasting.

Good lord. He even said the word, "hip." This is possibly one of those rare cases in which the hipster actually knows that they are a hipster. Fascinating.

what are they dressed up as?

Look. At. Those. Fucking. Hipsters.

I juz cant believe how many losers on here are bashing someone's idea like how insensitive all ya'll are haters and need to chill out and grow up how small of ya'll.

Yikes.

I'm not going to make a fanny pack--I think they're ugly. But good grief, folks! This is a free show. If you don't like it, don't watch it. You don't pay for Threadbanger episodes. No one is forcing you make a fanny pack. So why do you feel the need to bash such awesome (FREE) resource for craft ideas?

look at these fucking hipsters

To everyone visiting from LATFH and hating on the hipsters.... think of how much less amusing your lives would be if you didn't have these guys to laugh at. Without hipsters, we'd still be making fun of emo kids. Think about that for a minute.. :)

Amanda: I have one word for you - latfh.com . Live it, learn it, love it.

I've been watching threadbanger for a while and never have I seen such nasty scathing comments. I won't make and don't like fanny packs but I appreciate the fact that TB brings diverse videos to the web

tutorial is awesome. been wanting to make one for a while now. thanks!

Is this supposed to be funny or informative?

These douchebags seriously need to get off of my fucking planet.

I'm embarrassed for these people. At the same time, I'd like to feed them to my dogs.

Look at these fucking hipsters.

I understand the just got out of bed hair, but what is with the plastic chain? You are not fooling anyone. I hope companies don't advertise on this rubbish website.

someone take that gold chain and erotic asphyxiation that guy.

Spending time on making fanny packs and other such acts of cosmetic self-ghettoizing is the exact opposite of what the beat generation--aka the original hipsters--stood for. It's regrettable that so many today mistake unfettered superficiality as individuality. but after reading some of the hateful comments, I can only feel sorry for these people. Get better; you're life is worth more than decorating.

Is your time worth ANYthing to you? So you buy (even at thrift store prices) or use another pack, still have to buy a zipper and then spend 1.5 hours (or longer if you cannot sew well) making the fanny pack?!? How about just buy a new or used fanny pack?

Is it fucking Halloween already?

It puts the lotion in the basket...

WTF?! this is fuckin stupid. Like seriously, hipsters think that they can turn any fuckin thing hip or make it a goddamn fashion trend. Not with fuckin fanny packs. Just stop it! Stop runing vintage clothing, stop wearing those fuckin retarted ass 1970s glasses, you know damn well you dont have eye problems. Just stop, fuckin stop!

"Anti-fa-shun movement" ??? Seriously? Is this who is inheriting the earth? We're definitely all lost.

fanny packs were never cool and never will be... dear dingy hipster guy with the oh so ironic plastic chain, for the love of god wash and brush your hair. also, those giant glasses aren't hip either, they just make you look like rick moranis.

no, i don't remember that time a long time ago when fanny packs were cool

i hate goddamn hippies

Also, If I was enough of a cock gobbling tool that wanted to be a part of this ironic-fanny-pack-wearing counter culture, I'd fucking buy one. Guess that's why I'm no bohemian.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Fuckin hipsters.

another waste of sperm. yuck!

WAIT, IS THIS FUCKING SEROUS? HIPSTER TRASH BULLSHIT ALERT, SOMEBODY SHAVE THAT GUYS HEAD BEFORE I GO BLIND!

OMG WOW WOW WUBZY!!!

This fuckin sucks

Great to see some people recycling and saving black balloons, turning a old back back into a fanny pack, if that makes them happy. not my style just not into geeky fanny pack or any fanny pack full stop. Think out side of thoes geeky glasses and you may have a usefull project that more people will like...

I think I'm going to kill something. My hate for hipsters has grown.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all! These guys are cute!

Holy shite, are they for real? They look like hobos. So ~edgy~ and ~hip~

Dude! You just wasted two perfectly good backpacks made by little Asian children in a sweatshop somewhere! And for what? So the fashionably-challenged can wear heinous hip accessories that accentuate their FUPAs? At least if you are going to commit this crime, go to a shop and buy everything from scratch rather than wasting TWO backpacks. At least that way you can buy the material you need, and not waste more. Also... why do you look like nuclear fallout victims from 1989? I don't get it!

Sorry, fanny packs are just gross, whether or not you're trying to be ironic. Looking on the bright side, they did a good job demonstrating how a fanny pack is made. I wish they would apply that evident skill to their wardrobe and hair (the unisex roadkill coif is so last season).

These people are hipster, loser, freaks. Fanny packs never were and never will be cool. The fact tht they think crappy 70's glasses are cool and dressing like a street person shows they have no sense.

Wow, I went to high school with that girl.

Goddamn, after watching this video, I can't help but notice you both look like you've been bumping obscene amounts of cocaine. I used to be obsessed with RHLS design aesthetics but now'adays you both look sooooo coked out. Don't let that mild success fool you, you're not on top yet.

You beat me to the punch! I've been meaning to post my Fanny Pack tutorial for months! Curse you! Curse you!

this is why I don't go to Williamsburg

the very possibility that they're serious just makes me wanna cry.

WTF is on that bitches lip??

These people are such fucking douchebags. Worst glasses ever. Worst outfits ever. Hipsters are lame and will die of lung cancer and liver disease before they hit 50. Enjoy your loser life, losers.

LATFH! that guys lips reminded me of Beck. xD

WTF is she saying?

The douchebag with the joke-haircut is so obnoxious that the homely hipstress can't even talk. Marble mouth. Someone tell these tools that irony only goes so far.

you are helping destroy humanity, thanks assholes

ALso, nice mullett

WHY DO THEY KEEP GIVING THESE MOTHAFUCKERS CAMERAS AND OTHER MEANS BY WHICH TO PUT THEMSELVES INTO OUR LIVES. FUCK THESE FUCKING HIPSTERS. FANNY PACKS ARE NOT COOL DONT EVER WEAR ONE.

not

No.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSS! Seriously, what a couple of douchebags. Fanny packs cool? FUCK NO! BTW nice fucking playground chain necklace.

ummmm he is wearing pink nail polish.........i think the fanny pack is a coll idea it just needs some help is all.

despite what some people have said, i thought the fanny pack was good. The colors were a little iffy so maybe some more subtle fabric would make it cooler. I really like his yellow chain necklace, where can i find those?

i feel the overwhelming urge to smack both of those people. even if fanny packs held the "so uncool is cool" allure (which they don't) i'd still want to smack those two.

fuuuuuuuck.

I am going to punch the next person I see in a fanny pack. And I hope to hell that it's one of you jackasses.

Drink coffee, smoke cigarettes and be a douche for the 4 hours each day you're awake and sober. You may or may not have to also live in an "artists" loft your trust fund bought for you.

Is there a video that shows how to get your teeth all yellow like his?

Fanny packs were NEVER cool. Trust me, I actually lived through the 80s.

terrible. stuff would fall out when you opened it. fail on top of fail.

LATFH. Do you rock the one sleeve on to keep your scissors hand warm? Did you plan to match your fingernail polish to your faggy pack? LATFH

As long as people that look like that (in the video) think fanny packs are cool, they will never, ever be.

latfh

Join the anti-fashion movement? Fuck you dude!

Fanny packs are so fucking ironic! Not that I care, or anything...

I hate to say this but they look like they would smell of Lone Star Beer and a Barnes&Nobles.

i love fanny packs andi think it makes threadbanger look really cool

I'm sorry why do you think the ideas you guys make are so in style the fanny packs was cool in the 80's losers wore it then you idea suck you make people wish they never diy it makes thread banger site look bad they had other people on your site that are very creative, I believe in creating you own stile when it makes people look like a ass I don't agree this two people look like asses

Ah I love RHLS... they are so outrageous and I love their crazy outfits. Not my style but I can totally appreciate it. Cheers!

y'all inspire me like crazy. I

If you don't like RHLS then don't watch it in the first place.I think there pretty cool people.Only the brave can sport a fanny and it seems that some rather not take risks. Threadbanger and RHLS thanks a bunch for the episode!

Yeah, no. That's all I can really say. No to the project because while it's well constructed, I would get mercilessly teased if I touted that thing around. That and I find RHLS really irritating.

serious another rhls team up, just more garbage, they need to make something that actualy looks good for a change that totr could have easly been turned into something cool and usefull like a messanger bag. rhls try to hard

just because you say it, doesn't make it true....

I'd be lost without that tutorial!

At first i hated RHLS, coz i thought they were kinda... trying too hard... but now i can see how much they love what they do and they just seem alot more comftable around the camara, and now i love thier vidios, they are super strait forward. i really like this idea.

Fanny packs are so useful, and the design you are using is a great update. No wonder they are coming back! Thanks threadbangers!

I like their outfits... :D

as always RHLS tuts are always fantastically informative an straight forward. I think this could spawn all sorts of ideas for bags and pack from old backpacks, ratty ones too. Great job! Oh and Corrine, what is your necklace made out of? It looks incredible. Maybe some cool fall jewelry tutorials, eh?

RHLS is the bees knees! they always have the dopest projects.

Cool tute, but I just cannot rock the fanny pack! I do like the over the shoulder variation..maybe if it was a little bigger. Thanks you guys!

i hope u guys can do a another resin tut for ispydiy and cool fanny packs maybe i could try when i have enough bagpacks that i dont use anymore

I wish there was a button that says " i don't like this" project

I wish I could live in RHLS studio or in their pockets!

RHLs Rules!

This is awesome i love RHLs they are the best!

A fanny pack? Really? Sorry but they just don't flatter people. But very creative use of old backpacks and RHLS are fun as always. Great show.

those guys are fun. i think i'm gonna make a slim version to use as a money belt when travelling. thank you RHLS!

This seems like a waste of a perfectly good backpack that maybe a kid who can't afford one could use. What happens to the pieces of the backpack that don't get used? They'll end up in the trash. And I bet the resulting fanny pack will get worn a few times and then be cast off too, when the hipster fashion changes.

Well with a fanny pack it really can be whatever shape you want. The one's they were in Japan a really cute and square. I also seen other people do heart shapes and so on.

Looks like fun to make. Idk if i'll wear it but looks alot of fun.

Love the tute. Not a fan of putting something on my fanny, but hey, you can prolly turn it into any kind of bag, shoulder, messenger, pouch, whatev.

LMAO! That's not the way I was taught to seam rip, but hey, whatevea works.

I'm a huge fan of ruffeo hearts lil snotty. Thanks for the awesome episode! :D

Corinne, dear, you are gorgeous. I'm loving your hair this length. Just had to say that! hahah. Another great episode, guys. I'm not sure I'll be rockin the fanny pack anytime soon, but I do rather like it as a shoulder bag.

HES WEARING PINK NAIL POLISH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY GOD

Best RHLS evah! Love the pink polish (hehe)

Haha, I hate fanny packs but YAY for rhls!!

OMG I'm so pumped to see RHLS here again!! I love them more than words (and I might have a picture of Maxwell saved on my computer... just sayin). This has gotta be fate, I totally wore a bumbag yesterday AND I'm wearing one right now!!? What what! Oh, and to those who think they can't wear something like this cos of "negative attention"... who cares!!?? If you like it, then you can rock it

I can't say I'll be making this. I do like the bag worn over the shoulder as opposed to the waist. Maybe you can work it into being a grade-school kid's lunch bag? They're going back to school too, and I'm sure they'd love something custom to strut around with :)

wow...i like thos glasses :)

I like the recycling of old backpacks, but I don't think I'll be wearing fanny packs.

I'm going to argue that fanny packs are only going to work for those fearless hipsters who dress like RHLS every day... totally funky, totally not for those of us living in areas where it would attract some serious negative attention from the locals. but you could easily move the strap and make a purse using the same pattern? I like the idea of using old kids' backpacks to make a new bag.

Im still not a fanny pack fan tho.

WHOOT! Thank goodness fanny packs are back in style-this looks like a super-mega-awesome-fun project! I probably won't do it with a backpack (I'm a bit parinoid stitching with fabric that thick and tough), but I can do it with a double-lined tee or something. Yay!

You guys should do more stuff with Ruffeo Hearts lil Snotty. They come up with the coolest projects out there.
