You Stud…Literally

I know I said I wasn’t going to be doing a lot of DIY’s, and I am no Martha…but doing stuff like this is kinda fun. So today I give you the studded tank for summer. Pair with cute jorts (jean shorts: check urban dictionary…it is a word) and heels and viola! You have a sexy summer look. Now get to it!

Buy:
• Guys white Athletic tank (I wanted the look to be big around the arms)
• Pronged studs from your favorite craft supply store

Tools:
• Mini pliers
•Cheese spreader

Directions:

1. Follow the stitching around the neckline front and back of the tank to guide your placement of the studs;

2. I recommend that you place the studs between 1/4 to 1/2 inch apart…it all depends on the kind of look you are going for;

3. Place stud and push prongs through the tank using the pliers to press fabric down around each prong, you want the prongs poking through the inside of the tank;

4. Improvising, I used a cheese spreader, essentially a small butter knife (hey, this is DIY so a girl has to use what’s around) to press all the prongs down in order to lock the studs in place;

5. Do this all the way around and presto…you have a fab look in a matter of minutes!

Let me know how it goes!

The kick off to summer is almost here and I am already thinking about what I want to pack for my quick trip away. Unfortunately, the weather here in NY still has me in an “in between kind of state of mind.” Still, I have selected a few things to inspire us to start thinking about a fun weekend ahead! Jean shorts (jorts), sexy wedges, and fun T’s should all be on your list and let’s not forget that fabulous statement piece! (see the dannijo cuff) Happy hunting for your perfect weekend attire!!
