When it comes to DIY Fashion, the possibilities are endless and each project won’t break the bank. If you’ve shopped around at the mall or online, you’ve undoubtedly spotted some trendy styles involving studs.
However, most studded items are usually overpriced, so save yourself from any budget-busting fiascos and start DIY-ing. To get started, explore the various types of studs and spike notions that we have available here at MJTrends.
Depending on your own personal taste, there are various styles ranging from pyramid-style studs to pointed spikes. Once you’ve ordered your desired notions, get ready by selecting an item of clothing to start adding studs.
Here’s where it gets fun—you can literally add studs or spikes to almost anything. For a tough, punk-inspired look, try adding studs to the collar of a denim vest or jacket. You’ll get bonus points if you also add a few patches of your favorite band. If you’ve never added studs before, no worries, it’s totally easy.
Some studs have prongs located on the back, so simply push the stud through one corner of the fabric, then press down on each prong to secure the stud in place. If you’d prefer not to do this by hand, look into investing in a stud tool or a pair of pliers instead.
When it comes to spikes, things are a little different. Sometimes, spikes will have a fastener on the back. Much like the stud, you can press the spike through the fabric on one side, and then put the spike on the other side. Depending on the style, you might be able to adhere it into place by hand, or you may need the help of a hammer.
For an alternative approach, try adding a few rows of spikes to a collar. Or, get creative by adding various styles of studs to the back of a pair of jeans or shorts. Opt for the same size and color of studs for one row, or mix things up by varying the size and shape.
If you’re feeling up for a challenge, you can try adding studs to a pair of shoes. For example, you could add several studs or spikes into the toe part of a pair of sneakers, flats, boots or even heels.
For a more subtle style, add studs or spikes to some chic accessories for an edgy finish. For starters, look around for a plain purse, clutch, headband or belt and let your imagination run wild.
