DIYING!...Studding my vintage Fendi purse


Supplies needed:
-Poker thing (get used to me calling it that)
-Screw driver
-Studs

Poke the hole in which you will place the screw...

...push the screw through the hole...

...screw on the spike (can use the screw-driver to screw from back to make it tighter)... repeat, repeat, repeat...

... DUNZO! 

I really did it this time...I studded up somethin' reaaaal nice: my mom's Fendi purse from when she was a youngin' (which is why it could technically be considered vintage, sorry mom). I love the way it turned out though; gave the purse some flair and the 'tude that it was missing! ME-OW! Going to take this bad boy out on the town with me this weekend!

DIYING!...Studding the JCrew Patent Flats





Honestly, this probably isn't the most professional way to DIY...but I usually just wing it and use what I got in my hizzle! (it's cheaper)....
It was pretty easy...I got the studs I wanted, the flats I wanted to stud...and made shit happen!

What you'll need:
1. X-acto Knife
2. Studs
3. Pliers

How:
1. Figure out the pattern/design for the studs (obviously)
2. Make an imprint of the stud prongs on the patent leather
3. Use the X-acto knife to make small slits through the leather, in the place of the imprint
4. Stick the prongs through the slits
5. Use pliers to fold down the prongs on the inside of the shoe

Annnnd done!
