The color of the sneaker depends on you. You can choose any pattern or solid colors for your sneakers. Though the details of the stud embellishment will be clear enough on solid colors but you can still work on pattered ones where you have to choose the studs carefully.

Now when you are ready with your pair of sneakers, you will need few more materials. If you are thinking about how to make each hole on this thick layer of your sneakers, then you are wrong here. Hand piercing each hole would be a very time consuming process.

So what you can do is attach the studs with glue to the surface of your sneakers. You will need E6000 adhesive, a popsicle stick or a disposable container, toothpicks and 150-200 brass cone spikes. You will find different varieties in studs and you can select the design that you like and which will perfectly match with your sneakers.

You can also choose different colors where golden ones are used in this project. Before you start attaching the studs, set up a pattern by placing the studs on your sneakers. This will help you to make any changes if you want before you start gluing the studs.

Now if you are ready with the pattern, you can start the process by squeezing a small amount of the glue into a popsicle stick or a disposable container. Take minimum amount of glue considering the amount you are going to need for each studs. Dispensing more of the glue will make it dry too quickly. Use the tip of a toothpick to apply the glue onto the back of a stud.

Press the stud on the sneaker and hold it in that place for few seconds. Start this application process from a baseline corner and work up in horizontal lines. When you are done with the front portion, you can add some on the back of the sneakers. Adding some studs on the heel cap will really make it a complete pair so start adding the glue horizontally on the heel cap. Let the shoes dry for overnight and you can try them on the next day.
