Studding or spiking the base platform or heel, on a high heel! Need help!
Hello everyone
I need help! I have a pair of high heels about 6 inches and the platform that you stand on is about 3 inches! I need to stud and/or spike the heel and platform WITHOUT the studs or spikes falling off! Any suggestions from anyone that has experience With this! I need help and can put them on I just want a sturdy way to do it!
Any suggestions would be great!

What is the platform part made of? Plastic, cork, wood, etc?
It is covered with velvet, so I can't see it and another pair is covered with faux leather. That was my main problem, the heel is wrapped with the same fabric so I may need to deconstruct a pair to see what it is made from. Panda do you have any ideas or experience with this?! I am racking my brain trying to figure it out!
I would suggest using studs that do not screw in, have a flat bottom and simply using gorilla glue to attach them. Maybe a picture would better describe the problem though.
I will post a pic to show u guys what I am talking about, I just need to figure out how to post one first ha!
Is there studs that you can buy with a flat bottom felecity?
I have seen them in craft stores. If you already have the studs with prongs I would consider attaching them to a base and then attaching the base to the heel part like I did here.
