Freshen up your wardrobe by using stud and spike accessories with well-loved go-to’s. Start by trying a do it yourself tutorial to create studded kitten heels. Remove the strappy caged part of another pair of sandals and apply to a pair of pointed pumps. Use hot glue to adhere into place, and then attach studs.
If you’re not feeling the caged trend, try adding studs to a pair of pointed heels. You can glue a few rows of studs into place at the pointed end of each shoe. The best part about this tutorial is that it works for both heels and flats. Another variation of this trend is to attach a few spikes to the back of a pair of heels.
For an edgy and chic twist, add three medium sized spikes to the back part of a pair of heels. It’s a subtle yet sexy move that’ll have everyone making double takes. The finished product will look like they’re worth way more than you actually spent on this simple and easy DIY!
Another way to bring life into your wardrobe is by adding studs or spikes to a classic looking coat. A beige trenchcoat looks classic and versatile on it’s own, but when adorned with rows of studs and spikes, it creates a tough, punk-inspired effect. A faux leather headband is a total game changer on messy hair days, so why not up the ante a little bit by adding cone spikes? You’ll only need a handful of spikes for this quick and simple DIY.
If you just can’t get enough of studded items, try adding them to the edges of a beaded choker necklace. It’s so easy to let everyone know that you mean business. Or, take things up a notch by adding studs to a back pocket on your favorite pair of jeans, or at the bottom cuff of some well-worn denim.
Some other ideas include a studded color block clutch, cell phone case, handbag strap and tights. You could even add a few rows of studs to a lace bra for a little contrast. If you have some leftover spikes, this could be a totally easy DIY to work on during a rainy day. If not, make sure to buy your stud and spike notions from our online webstore here at MJTrends!

The idea of adding studs to the back pocket or cuff of worn denim is great for reviving old jeans that feel boring but still fit well.
The faux leather headband with cone spikes sounds perfect for lazy hair days, especially since it only takes a handful of spikes to make it stand out.
I appreciate how the tutorial keeps mentioning both heels and flats, since a lot of DIY shoe ideas ignore people who don’t wear heels often.
I like the idea of removing the caged straps from old sandals and repurposing them onto pointed pumps, it’s a clever way to reuse pieces instead of buying new shoes.
The suggestion to add just a few rows of studs to the pointed toe of flats feels approachable, especially for someone who wants a subtle edge without going full punk.
Adding three medium spikes to the back of heels is such a small detail, but I can see how it creates that double-take moment without overwhelming the shoe.
The color block clutch and studded phone case suggestions make it easy to extend the look beyond clothing without committing to a bigger project.
Putting studs along the edges of a beaded choker is an interesting mix of delicate and edgy, and seems like a quick project with leftover materials.
Adding studs to a lace bra for contrast is unexpected, but it fits the overall theme of mixing soft and tough elements throughout the wardrobe.
Never thought about studding a beige trench coat, but the contrast between classic and punk makes sense and could really update something that feels too safe.
Using hot glue for attaching the straps and studs makes this feel much more beginner-friendly compared to more complicated shoe DIYs.
