People often wonder how to put studs on a leather jacket, but it’s really quite simple! As long as you have the right tools and know the basics of working with leather, you’ll be able to take your ordinary leather jacket and turn it into something eye-catching and stylish in no time. Here are some steps to help you get started!
What you need
Leather jacket, studs, hot glue gun, glue sticks. You can find studs at any craft store or even your local dollar store. You can also find glue guns there as well if you don't already have one. Stud placement is very important in order to get that cool hipster look so make sure you think about where you want them beforehand! Be creative! There are no rules when it comes to creating your own style! If you're not sure where to start, try doing some research online for inspiration, and then go from there! Good luck and have fun with it!
Design your studs
Studs are very versatile, meaning they can be used in almost any area of your outfit. Studs are all about personal style; you should choose them according to your tastes. But, with that said, it’s important not to overdo it. Only wear one or two areas studded (your boots, for example), with everything else plain and simple. If you have an already existing pair of shoes or boots with holes in them, but want to update them by adding studs instead of having new ones made then you can use nail polish remover or acetone-type paint thinner rather than buying special tools that may damage other parts of your footwear such as screws.
Sewing it all together
Studded leather jackets are stylish, yet can be quite expensive. However, if you know how to sew or have access to a sewing machine, you can easily add studs to any plain leather jacket of your choosing. First, decide how many rows of studs you would like on your custom jacket. It is recommended that you add extra rows between existing rows so there are no holes in between each stud. The length of each row should also match so that it all looks uniform and deliberate. The height of each section should be slightly longer than an inch, with enough room at the top for threading in an industrial needle.
