You stud me!!!









BOX stunnnnnned

Any addition of nails heads and studding is always super chic and classic. These dotted details are found on furniture to fashion. If you have spare shoe boxes or jewelry boxes this is a great face lift project that screams Designer DIY..

Cover boxes with white paper or use spray paint or buy new ones.

Hit up your local hardware store for upholstery tacks and thumbtacks. Push them into the boxes, create patterns, spell out your initials- get creative! Use for a decorative accent on display- also makes a great gift wrap.

not only can you do this to boxes but any old fahion peices you have.. I have recently done it to shoes, t-shirts and jeans..


have fun and be careful don't poke yourself<3

Stud me up!!


So the "KITTEN HEEL" named the next big thing for Fall as it is a less dangerous, way to walk as it lower to the ground then the usual sexy pump. Well this season Christian Louboutin has taken the shoe to one more level down.. His new pair of studded shoes are NOT a heel or even the usual cute ballet flat. It is a sneaker, yep, you read correct a SNEAKER!!

Featuring those round studs we keep mentioning, the shoes are made from black leather, and cost $785- the same amount you’d pay for roughly thirteen pairs of Converse..

So i am guessing a "DIY" is in motion guys LMAO!!

--------------------------------------------

so here are some tips.... that I have done!! Now all you need is some Time!

*Get a hot glue gun and pick up a pack of studs that you fancy you can usually find these at any store that sell craft items. *Before you start working, come up with how you want the studs to form.

(FOR EXAMPLE- studs all the way around the bottom above the rubber, studs following the trim near the laces, studs around the Converse logo, etc.).

*Then, make measuring marks on the shoe so everything is even

(you can use a pen or a Sharpie for this, since you'll be covering the mark with the prism studs).

*Then, using the hot glue gun, carefully fix the studs onto the shoe. Don't overdo the hot glue, a small dab on the back of the studs should be fine to keep them in place!

And there you go ur HOT looking shoe..

Have fun
