Stella wears a uniform to school, and what better shoes with a uniform, or really any sassy skirt and blouse, than a pair of saddle shoes—unless of course you update your saddle shoes to include a few trendy studs on them!

You can find two-pronged studs in various metals at your local craft store. I ordered mine in bulk online.

You will also need a sturdy scrap of leather to place behind your shoe (or whatever material you will be studding) so that it has a backing and doesn’t puncture you.

Use a sharp tool like a dart awl to make your holes, and a flat screwdriver to press in the sides of the studs after puncturing your material.

The process is easy. You simply measure where you want your studs and puncture the material where both prongs line up. Then insert the stud and press the prongs in flat so they don’t come loose!

Warning: this can become addictive!
