DIY Studded Military Jacket

If you dont remember, I bought a military jacket with the faux leather sleeves (The ones that EVERYONE has) a few months ago. Purely because of the fact that everyone has the same style coat, I decided that I was going to stud mine to add some individuality.

 

The coat I used was from Primark and it was £25.

 

 

 I thought this would be a great thing to be blog about and then maybe you could use this to help you stud your own clothes!

 

I went for a 'The Ragged Priest' style of studded-ness haha! but you can change it up abit if you stud your own clothes :)

 

What you will need:

coat/jacket/jumper/t-shirt/ETC.

Studs

A knife - BE CAREFUL!

 

 

 I bought my studs from Studs from studsandpunks

I purchased 100 'UK77 Xtra Tall Gold Studs' for £11.95 plus postage. 

 

 

When studding my jacket, I pushed the studs through the material until the 'prongs' as I call them were completely peirced through. I then took my knife and with the side of it I forced the prongs flat so that the studs would stay put. I began studding in a cross shape on the shoulders as my outline.

 

I then took my studs around the edge of the cross shape to create a diamond kind of outline.

 

Once I had defined the outline, I then filled in the shape with studs in no particular pattern. I did it randomly so it didn't look too perfect which I think looks alot my 'edgy' and 'cool'.

 

This is what my jacket now looks like! I LOVE IT! :)

 

 

I always get comments from random people like 'I love your jacket, where did you get it from?' and it feels so self-pleasing to say 'I did it myself ;)' haha!

 

Have any of you studded your clothes?

Should I blog more DIY posts?

 

Thanks for reading!
