How to replace buttons with studs

how to replace buttons with studs, fashion diy

Little details make the difference, they can add a subtle edgy touch to plain shirts. There are small and easy changes you can make to your garments to give them quickly a trendy look. After making metal tips out of jar lids, today I would like to share with you another quick refashion and here's how I replaced classic shirt buttons with studs. These are in fact beads more than studs, they are pierced from side to side and can be sewed on garments. They are beads with the shape of studs.

You'll need:
  • a shirt
  • scissor
  • needle and thread
  • bead studs 



    Cut off the shirt buttons.


    Pick studs comparable with the size of your buttons.


    Start sewing on the stud. Keep the thread loose. You have to be able to move the stud a little bit. It doesn't have to be stuck on fabric or it won't work well as a button.


    Wrap the thread around the stud a few times and then knot it on the back. Replace all the buttons and you'll have successfully updated your shirt to the current trends!

    DIY studded headband

     Bad girls are always glamourous. If your style is glam rock this headband is thought to bring a touch of aggressiveness in your everyday look while remaining chic. Try to wear this studded headband with a boucle, chanelesque jacket and a pair of black thight jeans.

    This is a very quick diy and I'm going to insert it in a new diy category you can now browse from the navigation bar under the title called 10 minutes DIY.
    It collects all my diy tutorials that can be completed quickly so you don't have to wait to wear your new diy must have!

    To make this spiky headband you'll need:
    • gold metallic headband 1 cm wide (this one is from H&M)
    • cone stud beads (yes they're beads! they can be sewed or glued)
    • glue

     Kate Moss ci insegna: le bad girls hanno sempre il loro fascino. Per voi che amate lo stile glam rock e non volete rinunciare ad un tocco di aggressività anche nel look di tutti i giorni oggi vi mostrerò un tutorial per realizzare un cerchietto decorato con le borchie. Provate ad indossarlo con una giacca di ispirazione Chanel e un paio di skinny jeans neri. 
    Questo è un tutorial davvero veloce che inserirò in una nuova categoria chiamata 10 minutes DIY. La trovate nella barra di navigazione sotto al titolo e raccoglierà tutti i tutorial che possono essere completati velocemente, così non dovrete aspettare per indossare il vostro nuovo must have fai da te!

    Per realizzare il cerchietto avete bisogno di:
    • un cerchietto di metallo (trovato a H&M)
    • perline a forma di borchia (eh si sono delle perline, si possono cucire o incollare, la versione più comoda delle borchie che si sia mai vista! Cercatele online)
    • colla

      Put some glue behind the stud cone beads
       Versate una goccia di colla sul retro delle perline

      then glue them onto the headband.
      Start from the centre and glue one stud,
      then glue 3 studs on each side 
      at a distance of 3cm from each other.

      e incollatele sul cerchietto metallico.
      Partendo dal centro, incollate una borchia.
      Aggiungetene 3 per lato distanziate circa 3 cm l'una dall'altra.
