DIY: Studded Bustier (part uno)


So, sitting here wanting to

..


Share my DIY studded bustier , but the only access I have to instant photos, is my lovely web cam. Mer. It was bought on ebay of course, one of the many cheap little objects I have collected from ebay. (It was 5.99) Yeah with that said, I dont expect much but here are some pics anyway of what it looks like now, I really want to add some more detail, but not sure if I should just keep it simple? Let me know what you think, and I will have more pics of it (on my bod)..shortly I just have to make it to the store (to develope of course) :X

So before I noticed the lovely heart charm of this vintage bustier, I started using silver studs, it just wasnt right so I switched over; luckily I had some nice gold studs too. I got ths studs from ebay, of course and they were really cheap :) bonus yes.

Eh, so all I did was carefully bend the back of the studs and then poke them throw the cup of the bustier, this was my first time studding anything and it seem like the logical way to do it ! And luckily there was no lace or fabric hurt in the making of this DIY.:D

And again sorry for the poor quality of the pics, better ones up soon. I also have another lovely bustier I got from a vintage store on ebay, that I would like to dazzle up here soon. I will be purchasing some more intertesting studs soon, rather than the typcially pyraminds, I really want to play with it and see what I can do . I have been inspired by so many other DIY with studs, that I hope to continue to use them as my current muse to create. Hopefully that DIY will be coming soon. :)

DIY: Studs everywhere

I wanted to post a DIY blog about studding clothing and accessories. I personally will be posting some DIY blogs more often, and I will start with saying that I am working on some bustiers right now that will be accented with of course some lovely studs. I have seen this trend just about everywhere now, seems like a lot of it is hand done and makes a nice vintage bustier or a pair of shoes look that much more amazing and give it something new. Much of this inspiration has came from the famously blogged about  Rodarte for Louboutin heels shown here :





These can be imitated easily by getting some studs from ebay or another site, then just grab a "hole maker" and some super glue with a little dose of creativity and there you go !
I will be posting later my very own rendition of these lovely beautys!




An old pair of grunge lace up boots would also be an amazing canadite for adding some studs yourself (DIY style).













I hope you like my examples and maybe it inspires you to come up with some new ideas yourself for a DIY project. Many other things can  be added as well like ruffles or lace , always make a piece look more detailed and it puts a personal touch on the garmet that you cant buy at just any store.


Look for my next DIY post , I will have my very own guided recipe for doing some DIY studs.
