Sweatshirt H&M, £9.99 (old)
Studs, assorted from THIS eBay seller
Insomnia, Model's own, c/o seemingly everlasting CPE's.
I used all 100 pyramid studs on the splatter effect and also the should details and I've used rough 40 of each of the different domed studs (going on what's left in the bag...)
I'm really pleased with the over all effect of the studs and I cut the ribbed band off the bottom hem and both cuffs for a better shape to the sweater. The total cost of this jumper, including the postage for the studs is around £22, not bad when I was seriously considering keeping an ill fitting jumper costing £38 (inc delivery). Studding is also highly therapeutic at 0400 when you can't sleep. Just so you know....
Whilst I'm loving all the studded items on the highstreet at the moment, I can't help feeling it's quite overpriced when you can do the same things yourself for verging on half the price, and it's the kind of project that could be done in a couple of hours whilst you're watching a movie or TV or (like me) not sleeping even nattering with a friend, that said, I know studs are doing the DIY rounds at the moment, so link me in if you've posted a stud DIY, I have maybe 120/30 studs left to use and could do with some inspiration.
P.S. Kudos if you picked up the Harry Enfield reference in the title!
P.P.S. I'm still selling lots of bits and pieces as my local charity shops aren't accepting donations... Help a girl out?

Cheers Laura. Really pleased with it.
This looks great! I love studs on other people but I can never pull them off!

Maybe it's about finding the right studded item? I bet studded shoes with be awesome with your feminine style, for something a bit different or harder for a night out or dinner or something?
It looks really good! You could easily imagine this selling in Topshop for some obscene amount of money, kudos to you for taking it into your own hands! xx
Thanks, really really pleased with it as a Topshop studded cardigan (costing a lot more than this) looked horrendous on!
That's a great idea, never thought of customising a jumper before. Doing my own stud placement suits my perfectionist nature as well lol. Looks awesome too!
