while cleaning, i came across an old belt that i used once for an 80s halloween party. the pyramid studs were perfect for the DIYs i've been meaning to try with all my jeans from the motherload. removing all those studs from the belt was a b!tch, let me tell you. and applying them to the jeans through the denim but under the lining was a bigger b!tch.
but ten raw fingers later, i had the beginnings of some potentially wearable pieces.
have you studded anything? what kind of tools do you use, if any?
finishing off photos from last weekend...mini-he and his
friend had fun sliding down the big hills [on cardboard]
at kaka'ako park.
i asked my friend for a cookie...he brought the bakery.
thanks, d!

wow! You did a great job! These studded shorts are amazing!
I applaud you for taking on this task Rebecca. I know just how you feel. But the end result is killer, especially with those boots!
I know it was a pain but it looks great! A great way to freshen up some denim shorts!
Love the end result! The pain & effort looks like it was worth it and that food looks delish
I love how the shorts turned out...they are worth the raw fingers, I think.
They look great, as good as anything from a store:)
Love the shorts!
Your studded shorts came out looking really cute/

i love a pair of cut offs. especially with some awesome boots like those! i just found a pair of cowboy boots at the local GW. they were $13 and i wasn't gonna get them, then noticed they were the half off color and snatched them up. they were real leather too!!! you're making me wanna pair them with shorts. it's such a fun look!

I think I do! I'll take a look and let you know!
I want to see those boots!!
ouch, I've bought pyramid studs and use pliers to bend the little prongs into place. The shorts look great!
DIY'ing these shorts may have been a pain in the butt, but they sure look cute! I wish I had the patience to try this myself. I will be lucky to DIY a T-shirt I have coming my way. I want to cut the neck to make it an off-the-shoulder and cut the bottom to make it shorter. Ha -- Good luck with that, Bonnie.

You look amazing dear! Love the shorts!
I'm officially super impressed!! They look amazing.
And can I just say, (not in a creepy way) that you have fantastic legs? Sigh.
The studs look amazing! And hon, I would kill for your legs...and haven't even had kids yet, I can't believe how great you look! Those boots are killer too, gorgeous shade of leather.

I've only studded collars before, and i didn't have to recycle studs, so it was pretty easy. I can only imagine how hard it would have been to remove those studs from a belt!!!
The shorts look amazing though!

awesome! i can't believe you took them off the belt and put them on your shorts! genius!! i have a gem magic machine! it's awesome. when i first got it i was adding them to everything! i was buying cheap shirts and totally blinging them up. i've been wanting to do some others, but haven't gotten around to it. you've inspired me to dust it off and start blinging again!
