Add decorative black spike studs to a leather clutch in a grid pattern.
Servings 1 studded leather clutch makes

What you need

  • (100) 3/8" black spike screws
  • 1 leather clutch
  • X-acto knife
  • Chalk
  • Ruler
  • Piece of cardboard

Directions

  1. Using a ruler and chalk, mark one entire side of your clutch every half inch with tiny chalk dots to indicate stud placement. You can mark a pattern, stud only half the clutch, or cover the entire side as desired.
  2. Unzip the clutch and place a piece of cardboard inside to prevent the studs from poking through both layers of leather.
  3. Gently place the tip of the X-acto knife on the leather and make a small slit. Push the stud through the slit and screw on the back. Repeat with all remaining studs until complete.
