If You Like It Then Put A Stud On it

I am putting the spotlight to my black Marithe Francois Girbaud Rucksack bag, a vintage item circa 2005. Hehe. I was really not happy at first when I bought this. I think I just bought this on impulse. But it’s just recently that I unraveled my love for it. The rusty old faded  look gave this bag a new image. And to top that, I installed studs to make it look a little edgier.

With my project number 2, I placed matte brass studs that looked perfect for my denim top. I placed them unevenly on the upper part of the  pockets. This denim shirt is my fave. I t looks so legit with the studs. :)

Tip: When installing the metal studs, be sure to lay them first with the arrangement that you like  before locking them up. Be careful not to prick yourself, studs have really sharp edges for the lock. You can use a flat screwdriver to flatten these sharp edges.

Talking about epiphany here. Happy!

What do you guys think of the end result? :)

Let’s Get This Party Studded

Studs are perfect in making an outfit look edgier and have that rock and roll chic look. I have not explored the idea of incorporating them into my clothes until last Monday. On Facebook, I posted a picture of metal studs and asked to where I can get some. Lucky enough, I managed to find some at a local store in the city. Metal studs are best placed on jeans and leather. Jeans are a tough fabric so putting on studs will not destroy it that much. It can also be used in glamming up bags or shoes.

Just need to experiment on your outfits. Not only with jeans but you can also do this with your bags, tops and others.

Materials

Metal Studs

Screwdriver

Jeans

Steps

1. I thought of making them as collar tips. So I laid them first if how many could fit in. You will have to think of where to place your studs first. 

 2. I drew a triangle in the collar so I filled them all. Just be careful to not prick yourself because the studs have pointed metal teeth.

In my case, I chose to edge up my jean shirt. You can play up where you want to put it on. So this is how it looks now.
