I'm sure you've seen this DIY before but I liked how it turned out and thought I would share. I actually bought these studs a few weeks back with the idea of putting them on the shoulders of a jacket. After slight hesitation (I decided I liked the jacket just the way it is), I opted for studding the collar of this blouse instead. Just the pizazz it needed - don't you think?!
Here's what you'll need:
Studs
X-Acto Knife or something sharp to punch small holes
Blouse (I would recommend a cheap / thrifted blouse for your first attempt)
1. Line up studs in the triangular pattern you like.
2. Poke a small hole and punch the back of your screw in (see photo below).
3. Tighten the top of the stud and repeat until all studs are in place!

The only thing I hate about DIYs is that I always go over board, if there is left over bits I use them EVERY WHERE. Once I decided to buy a label marker and label my art supply drawers which lead to labeling EVERYTHING. "Lamp" "clock" "door." it was bad....
however I think everything looks a bit better with a stud (hello, built in accessory)

@Collections - You should be able to find studs at any craft store! The Garment District in NYC will definitely have them. xx

Great DIY! Zara recently had a studded collar blouse that I loved. I need to get more creative! www.casualglamorous.com
What a great DIY! I love adding extra touches like that to make an outfit, or something that is plain, that much more special. Can't wait to see you with it on, on an outfit post!

Very creative. love the end result.
What a cool freakin' idea! LOVE this!
There is something about diy studding that never gets old and makes a shirt, sweater, jacket or accessory brand new.

I love it! It would be a fun to do to a detached collar you could layer under other tops.
