- 1). Add some studs to the jacket. Studs can be purchased at craft or fabric stores, and usually have sharp edges that can poke through fabric. If not, make holes with a small, sharp knife to slide the studs into. Close the studs with pliers.
- 2). Pin safety pins all over the jacket. The more pins, the better. Group the safety pins together in a bunch, or just add them all over the jacket. Safety pins are a punk clothing item and add something hardcore to just about anything.
- 3). Represent your favorite punk bands. Add some patches to the jacket using either fabric glue or simply by pinning them on with safety pins. A large patch on the back of the jacket can denote your favorite bands with other smaller patches on the front of the jacket.
- 4). Draw on your jacket. Punk clothing is torn, fraught with metal, and drawn on with markers. Write your favorite punk sayings, like "Question Authority" or draw punk symbols and band logos with markers.
- 5). Finish the jacket by adding some buttons. Check retailers such as Hot Topic, vintage stores or online punk retailers for cool band, celebrity and slogan buttons to add to your jacket to show more of your personality with your clothing.
