Start by adding studs to pretty much anything you own! First, decide on what type of stud you prefer, from a sharp-looking spike or a pyramid style, or everything in between. For an easy project, try upgrading a simple pencil case, makeup bag or clutch by adding a few rows of studs.

Get crafty by lightly marking where you’d like your studs to be. Feel free to use a ruler or another measurement device to make sure that everything is spaced out evenly.
Next, gather your studs and start attaching them.
Push the stud straight through the fabric, then use a pair of pliers to bend the prongs into place, securing the stud in place.

Depending on what you want to stud, you could use hot glue. This is just an alternative, and it totally depends on what material you’d like to glue the stud to. For best results, we recommend attaching the stud directly by piercing it through the fabric.
