DIY: studded shorts

Hi guys! It's me again. I decided to post a Do It Yourself before I go to bed. Personally, I love DIYs and it's just amazing to see how creative people are when it comes to re-using old stuff.
Today I will show you how to stud your clothing. You can stud anything, a jacket, jeans, even shoes. I chose to do a pair of high-waisted shorts. Mine are from H&M and they cost me only €10, which is very cheap! They were on sale though, I love sale.


So what you want to do first is buy studs. You can order them here: www.studskopen.nl or on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100pcs-8mm-12mm-DIY-Spike-Square-Stud-Rivet-Punk-Bag-Belt-Leathercraft-hot-sale-/280908753556?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&***776a94

I bought mine in a little store though, but I just ordered some on eBay because that's much cheaper.



Make sure you don't buy the ones you can paste onto your piece of clothes, these fall off very easily.
Decide where you want the studs to go. I chose to fill one pocket with studs. Here we go! Just push the stud through the fabric and bend it over in the back. I used some scissors to do this.

If you take a close look at the picture on the right, you can see the little metal ''claws'' are bent over. Make sure you push them down enough.
Just continue like this and tada, you're done!



I love studs because they just look so edgy and they make any outfit kick ass! I hope this was usefull, and please send me some pictures of your own creations with studs. I've got some left so I'm thinking about using these for my denim jacket.

Stay tuned!
