Instructions

  1. Small 108407 2f2015 04 08 031144 denim diy collar studded 2

    Find an old denim shirt at your favorite thrift store, or your closet. Be sure the shirt’s collar is thick enough to hold studs without tearing.

    Gather your studs and small-tipped round nose pliers. Tip: shop Etsy for deals on studs and embellishments. I used 34 total—your count will depend on the desired look.

    Use your pliers to fold the stud prongs down and curl them into the fabric so they are secure.
