DIY studded shirt


Hello, friends. It's been 2 weeks since my last post. My apologize, I had this kinda busy week. A lot of things to settle down.
I'm not gonna talking too much here.
By the way, in this post I'll show you how I turned my boring shirt into cool studded shirt. Check this out ;)
First, you'll need this things :

  1. Shirt, of course. I use my denim-like shirt. The material is thin so it would be easier to stick the studs on it. I bought that shirt from this online store of my friend named Gabriella Montes. You can find her on facebook :)


     2.   Pyramid studs . I like it to be gold, but you can choose the silver one too. I need 
           about 50 studs, or you can add more, in some parts :) I choose this simple studs 
           with the glue on it. The glue will melt when it expose with high temperature, very 
           easy to apply. I bought this cool studs from studdicted, find it at twitter and 
           instagram @studdicted .

     3.  Iron. You'll need this, so that the glue will melt inside and the studs will stick to your 
          shirt.

     4.  Fabric. Anything you have, like blanket or something like that. This is important to 
          cover the  ironed studs. Make sure that you're not broke your iron by using it 
          directly on the top of studs-_-

Then, follow this steps :
  1. Arrange your studs on shirt, just to make sure that your studs are enough to create the style that you want. but you can skip this step if you are sure that there're enough. I'm using 50 studs for this style

  2. Iron the shirt first before you stick the studs on it, it will help the glue melt faster. You don't need to iron all part of your shirt, just the area that you want to stick the studs on.
     3.  Stick the studs on

    4.  Cover it with fabrics, I'm using a blanket here, kekeke. And then, iron it again for
         about 15-20 sec. Remember! Don't touch them right after you finish ironing, your 
         finger will be burning. I did it myself, and my finger becomes red hahaha ouch-_-


    5.   Voila, this will stuck on it forever :)


   6.  Next, you need to do the same thing on other parts. I did it on the collar.


Yahoo! The collar is finished
   7.  Then, the pocket too



   8.  This is the result! What do you think? Do you like it or not, give me your opinion guys :D 



You can try this yourself. I'm sure you're waaaaay moreeee creative than me. Be creative guys! :)
This is the quote from an inspirational jazz musician, Charles Mingus. 
“Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity” – Charles Mingus
Hope it can make your day. See ya on my next post! ^^/
