{DIY Tennies}

My feet were hurting one day while at work due to me wearing heels, so I had to stop by F21 during my break to pick up a pair of tennis shoes to wear for the rest of my work day. I purchased a plain white pair; then the idea of embellishing them with studs came to mind. So I hopped onto ebay and ordered a ton of various sizes of pyramid, round, and triangle studs. Here's how my DIY Studded Tennies turned out!

What You'll Need:
Tennies (do plain or patterns, hi-tops or low, laced or slip-on) F21,  UO, Target, Keds, Vans, Converse
Studs (I used 6,8,9mm Pyramid Studs) eBay or etsy
Butterknife or Flathead Screwdriver
Total: Cost: $9
Time to Complete: 1 hour
Some Inspo:
Denim Jacket, Skirt, & Tennies, Forever21/ Blouse & Handbag, Urban Outfitters/ Necklace, Thread Affair
