While a lot of people may think that studded shorts are only for the
rockers, anyone can actually wear them. It just depends on the design
and pattern of the studs and of course, the type of shorts that you use.
You can actually stud any pair of shorts that you have as long as they
are sturdy enough to be pierced and strong enough to hold the weight of
the studs you will be attaching to them.
Studded shorts are so popular and in demand, they can burn a hole in
your pocket if you’re on a tight budget. However, there’s no reason to
be disappointed. DIY studded shorts are so easy to make you’ll be
wearing your own in no time.
To make your DIY studded shorts, you will need a pair of shorts,
studs of your choice (you can get them from most craft stores), thin
pliers, a ruler and a pencil for marking your design layout. Once you
have all your materials for your DIY studded shorts laid out, you can
start marking your design with a pencil. If you choose to do a definite
shape (crosses are very popular), use your ruler to mark your design.
Don’t worry about the pencil markings, the studs should cover them up
and they would eventually get washed out anyway.
After this, you can start putting the studs on. Push the studs down
and make sure they’re down all the way through. With your thin pliers,
push the clasps down together to ensure that the ends lay flat on the
fabric. Continue to do this until your design comes together and you’re
done!
Most of the time, you’ll see that distressed denim shorts are used
for DIY studded shorts projects. However, you can always do this with
shorts that are of other fabric / material like cotton, slacks, or even
leather. Making DIY studded shorts can save you a lot of money,
considering that a brand new pair could cost you right around $50 to $60
each. It’s also a good way to make plain old shorts look cooler, more
hip and more stylish.
