So this is my latest DIY project. It's pretty easy to do but it just takes a little bit of time.. about 2 1/2 hours.
What you need:
-For the studs
1.one pack of studs. I got mine from studsandspikes.com for only 3 dollars for a pack of 100. I got the tall english 77 cone studs.
2. one pair of jewelry pliers and/or a flat edge screwdriver (preferably a shorter one)
3. An exacto knife
4. A shoe to stud! Patent leather works the best, but most will work.
-For the lining
1. Felt to line the shoe.
2. A household cement to make the felt stick.
So it's really easy. First press the studs onto the shoe, they should have prongs on there, this should make an indent so you know where to cut.
Then make two slits with the exacto knife. Press the stud in, it should go easily but sometimes you may have to make the slit bigger.
Either use your pliers or screwdriver to press the prongs as flat as possible. And then just repeat until the desired amount of shoe is studded!
As soon as you're done with that, go ahead and cut out some felt, I just cut out smaller pieces and put them onto the shoe measuring by my eye (aka, too lazy to measure), but you can also take exact measurements. Then put the cement either directly on the shoe or felt and press firmly. Repeat until the whole studded area is covered. Let it dry and then you're finished!
