Studded Shorts

For a really long time I have wanted to decorate my own pair of pants with studs. The only reason I have never gotten to it before is because I never found affordable studs anywhere. However the other day I found a package of 10 studs for 2€ at "I Am" (a jewelry store in Germany). Even though that may not sound cheap it can get you quite far aaand it's the only thing I could find anyway. I bought two packets.

So anyway, here is what you will need:

The pair of pants of shorts you want to decorate.

The studs. I got square shaped ones. It's best to get the studs which have metal teeth on each side as these are easiest to clip through material and also last.
And some pliers to press the studs onto the pants.

Okay. The next step is laying out the studs on the pants (where you want to secure them later). I decided to put them on the back pocket.

It's okay if they are just roughly placed (because while a lot of them will probably fall when you clip the studs on). Once they are all in place push the teeth of the studs through the material. Now turn the pocket inside out so you can secure the studs. Do this by pushing the teeth of the studs down, towards the center.

You can use the pliers to make this step a little easier.

Aand that's it! It's probably smart to check that the studs are still in approximately the right place from time to time by just turning the pocket back to the outside.

And that's it!:) this was my finished product.
