A little tip that may come in useful for you fashionistas...


Studding is all the rage this season. Celebs are walking around with studded bags, studded dresses, studded shoes, studded leggings, you name it. While it's pretty easy to find on the high street, it isn't necessarily cheap.

Now, you can rake through your wardrobe for old plain tshirts and other items you find that might need a little updating, as we show you how to add studs to your clothing. And with the help of an adult, it is SO much easier than you'd think.

Firstly, you can purchase the studs at most craft stores. We found a great selection on a website called Studs and Punks. It may seem on the site like studs are just for bikers and rock chicks, but the look is so popular with the highest of fashionistas! Even the lovely Carrie Bradshaw...

On the website, we particularly liked these. However you can get a range of different shapes and sizes as well as the option of silver also...

You can by 50 of these for £5.95. Not bad considering 50 of them should be more than enough.

Now once you've bought your studs and chosen the item you want to attach them to, you need to line them up where you want them placed.

The good thing about these studs is they have two rivets either side on the back which make attaching so easy. You simply push the stud firmly into the material and it should pierce through. For thicker fabrics you may need to make a small hole first with a pin before pushing.

Once the rivets have pushed through you may need to get your Dad or another adult to help you with the final part. The rivets need to be closed using pliers. This is how the stud is secured.

Once they're on, bad-a-bing-bad-a-bang! You can move on to the next one, and in no time you'll have turned your wardrobe from so last season to so on-trend!
