DIY Studded shorts!!!

This is a step to step guide on how to customise some Levi 501 shorts...
Firstly all you need is your studs (which i brought off ebay, they have many different varieties) and either a pair of scissors or a blunt knife....  


Then you need to decide where you want to put your studs... I put mine either side of the shorts but you can do the pockets or wherever you like really...next you need to push the stud through the denim, this can be tricky cause it thick material.... 


Then the hard part... using either your scissors or knife you need to bend the two prongs flat, be very careful cause they are hard to bend so don't slip and cut yourself thats why it has to be a blunt knife..


make sure all the prongs are as flat as possible else when you wear them they will dig into your skin...


once all the studs are put on,  the inside of the shorts should look like this....


The finished look.... its very very easy to do yourself you just need time because they can take a while to position where you want the studs and the bending them can take time too!!  


Im really happy with how mine turned out i can't wait to do some more!!! I have ordered some different style and colour studs to customise some more of my clothes....will post link below
