DIY :: Studded Shoulders and Outfit Post


You may be sick and tired of seeing studs and spikes everywhere lately, but I actually own very few studded items and felt like revamping one of my baggiest, most relaxed fit jumpers, into a more intriguing, on trend piece. 


Maroon sweater: H&M

This winter, for me, is all about comfort, so at the time of purchase I decided to go for a size 12 because I wanted a super long, relaxed fit. This jumper actually goes past my bum xD 
The netted feature makes the fit extra slouchy, and because it refuses to sit evenly on both shoulders I often wear it off the shoulder.   

The camera has photographed this under a very heavy red/brown tone. In real life, the sweater looks much more maroon with more of a purple hue.









All in all, studding this piece took me only 20 minutes of my time, (and that's because I was being OCD about the measurements and spacing). 

Anyway, moving on to how I did this~~



To recreate, what you'll need is: 

1) Studs - I bought mine on Ebay
2) Ruler
3) Jumper of your choice 

These studs are really user-friendly, just insert the bottom half into the actual stud, and it'll click into place securely. What's great about these is that you can easily separate the 2 halves if needed. 

With one studded shoulder blade


Place your first few studs along the seam, so that you have a reliable guideline to work with. Space your studs however far apart, or however close you prefer. I did mine with a spacing of 2cm in between.  


Studding work for this particular jumper was really simple due to the "holey"/netted nature of the design, I wasn't required to make any cuts or holes. I chose to stud this particular one because of its versatility, I can easily remove the studs if I get tired of them, or simply stud elsewhere!

However, if your sweater is unlike mine, you will need to create holes using a knife or a pair of scissors. To avoid mistakes, mark out where you want the studs to be placed with a pencil/fabric pen, and make sure you do your stud-work with a piece of cardboard placed underneath the area you'll be piercing. Lastly, be careful!


I used a total of 15 studs for each shoulder blade.

 Final result!
