Recycling Accessories-Goth DIY-Studs

Got an old studded belt that fell apart and is no longer functional? 

                            

I got just the thing!

You will need one of these:
  • needle nose pliers
  • hemostats 
  • butter knife
Depending on which of these tools you have will greatly impact the outcome. In this case, I have needle nose pliers:





Now, get to the back side of the studs and pry the claws upward and try not to let it bend out of shape too much.



Just pop it off and set aside.


Now decide what article of clothing or accessory you want to relocate the studs to. Now would be a great time to have pliers.





Just press the stud into the fabric until it penetrates through to the other side.




Using Pliers or crimping tool of some kind, bend the claws down inward and now you have a great start to a new project.




Recycled studs can go a long way. Be as creative as possible and really enjoy this project!

If this version was not sufficient enough, and you would like to see this tutorial in video form, Please comment on this post and let me know. Any questions or suggestions are always welcome.
