After drooling over countless studded items all over the web- 

I finally took the initiative to create something myself instead of 

buying those $400 Bess boots... I think they turned out quite wonderful.

Above is my original thrift purchase leather boot for only $13.

I stuck a spray paint can in there because they were actin' floppy.

I used a stud prong press and leather punch to place the studs I 

purchased online...

As for putting the studs in, it's pretty self explanatory. 

And I couldn't feel my thumbs for a while but it was definitely worthhh it !
