Take a bold step and spruce up your own wardrobe this season with spiked accents. When it comes to beauty and fashion trends, few fashionistas know better than mega popular YouTube sensation, Michelle Phan. Originally one of YouTube’s rising beauty video bloggers, Michelle Phan now boasts over 7 million YouTube subscribers. She has even penned her own book about beauty advice and has collaborated with some of the most esteemed designers in the business. Here, we’ll follow in the steps of Michelle Phan with a fun and easy DIY tutorial on how to add spikes to a sweatshirt.

Let’s face it, we can get bored with using our favorite staples season after season. Add a little life and energy into a boring sweatshirt by jazzing it up with a few studs or spikes. First, assemble your supplies like a set of spikes from MJTrends.

Before you get started, decide what type of design you would like to create. Maybe you want to go all out and create a geometric pattern along the back, or just add a few simple rows on the shoulder area.
Once you decide on your overall design, you can go ahead and get started. Pinpoint the spot where you want to add your first stud, then use a seam ripper to make a small hole. Avoid making it too big, because it could cause the stud to fall right through.
Poke the bottom part of the stud through, and then twist the other end of the stud to keep it in place.
Repeat this step for each stud until you complete your design.

Easy, fun and totally cool, this do it yourself stud tutorial is made for you! Stay edgy and stylish this fall with this cool spike DIY tutorial.
