DIY Spiked Ballet Flats

DIY Spiked Ballet Flats
These glitter flats– I love em. I rarely buy duplicates of anything, but these flats are so comfortable and versatile that I’ve gone through a few pairs. I wanted to find a way to spruce them up a bit and make them more unique, so I bought some spikes and added them to the shoes!

DIY Spiked Ballet Flats
To make the spiked ballet flats you need:
-Spiked Studs (They screw in and they’re only $6 for 100 on Amazon!)
-Flats (I used these glitter flats.)
-Leather Hole Punch Tool (Optional, but I really like having this tool around. It’s really fun to use. :))

This project is super simple. All you need to do is punch holes around the top of your shoes and then screw in the studs. I used 7 studs on each shoe.


That’s it! 🙂

    Loove these. So simple too. I did this with a pair of my plain black combat boots not too long ago with gold nailheads from M&J Trimming. They came out awesome.

    You should totally check out the nailheads/spikes on there because they have such a big selection. Not to mention, they have really really cute ones! Plus, it's 15% off all nailheads right now until 8/31/13. The promo code is: NAILHEAD201 and the link is: http://www.mjtrim.com/nailheads.html

    Thanks for sharing such a cute idea! I really liked it!
