  • How to make an embellished bag. Studded Bag - Step 1
    Step 1

    I used 4 different sized studs for this project. Buy a couple of packs of each size.
    Start with figuring out the design of the studded area and where you'd like to add studs on the bag - is it on the flap, in the corner or in the middle of the bag.

    Once you've settled on a layout, stat punching holes for the studs. Add all the studs one by one.
    You could also use glue-on studs, so you wouldn't have to punch holes into the bag, but I've noticed that the glue-on studs aren't very durable.
