DIY: Studded/ Spiked Converse
I love personalizing my things. I feel fashion should be about expression and individuality. A couple of months ago i decided to add studs to my converse to give them a bit of edge. I love the finish product and get tons of compliments on them. I have attached a video i found on Youtube which shows another style of Studded Converse.
My Spiked Converse
Wearing them with a rocker look :)
Hope you guys get inspired to try a DIY project.
