D.I.Y Studded Bag

Studs here, studs there studs studs everywhere! Or at least thats what it seems like these days almost every tops, jackets, dress etc.. has some form of studding on and this can bump up the price of items ridiculously high & I am guilty of buying into the trend with this Studded Topshop cardigan at £42.

Gorgeous and cosy as it is the studs are literally just glued on, something I’m pretty sure I could have done myself if I had any sense of control when it comes to spending.

I was planning on buying a new white bag for my holiday but I decided to get on board with the DIY studding and bought some studs from ebay & used an old bag from H&M that I had.

The studs I bought were the clip tie ones they were only 99p for 100 studs I bought 2 pack in 8mm & 12mm.

The studs have little pincer type grips on them that you use to push through the fabric then fold over to keep them in place. IMG_1682
After practicing & deciding how and where I wanted them placed it was pretty easy

 I decided to stud the front flap & the sides in a pretty simple pattern…

I really like how it looks it makes the bag stand out a little more & it was so easy simple and cheap to do I would definatly reccomend trying it. I’m fraying some shorts that I plan to take on holiday at the minute & plan to stud them aswell so I may do a video on it.

Have you tried studding lately?
