{DIY} Snakeskin Studded Convertible Clutch

I have had this snakeskin convertible clutch for a few years but have never used it, as the still attached tag confesses.

I recently decided that although I will be adding a few pieces to my wardrobe for the Fall, (like these jeans I snagged yesterday) I will do more shopping in my own closet this year.

And while I took stock of some of the things that I own, I came across quite a few items that I had never worn or used and I tried to assess why.

The answer most of the time was simply, while an item appealed to me obviously when I purchased it, there was a lil something about most of them that I wasn’t head over heels about.

Like with this purse, there was something about the color that just wasn’t doing it for me but I was determined to make myself love and use it.

So, I had recently ordered some studs (which is LURVE) for various DIY projects and decided that a few studs would definitely up the amour of this purse for me.

Studding a bag is so easy. Just be careful not to puncture yourself and consider using a
dart awl (thanks for the tip Tori) to press the studs (I used the head for this)
or pull them out if you need to move them (I used the pointy end for this)

It took all of 30 minutes to turn this “i like it” bag into a studded “i love it” bag.
I decided to only stud around the flap instead of the entire front of the bag
and I am happy that I did. I am really digging it.

What say you? And are you a DIY’er?
