Make your own studded Converse!

We received a lot of requests on these studded Converse we posted about a while back. Some of you asked where we got the studs and charms from, and others said this was a unique idea, because most studded Converse you see are decorated on the sides or the back.

We decided to make a post answering all these questions for you!

Some time ago... I think it was December, I saw these cake studded Converse by Gasoline Glamour, and needed to get my hands on them! They were 400$ so I said I wouldn't spend that much money on a pair of Converse. I started looking for all the materials to make them, but wasn't able to find the little cakes and donuts, so I decided to use Swarovski charms instead, and make them be my own style.

The materials I used:

- Flat cone studs from Etsy stores

- Swarovski charms from ArtBeads

- E-6000 adhesive

- Pair of Converse

Hope this post was of any help to you guys, and if you do choose to recreate them, send us pictures ;)

We'd love to see them!

Shinji's Sky-Blue Bike

Angela and I have been thinking about buying bikes for the summer. Luckily, our friends let us use theirs in the meantime. We want to take advantage of the weather, exercise, and even save some bucks on public transportation!

This sky-blue bike is Shinji's, a very cool Japanese friend of ours who has great sense of style and obviously the coolest bike I've seen! Learning how to use his bike was a little suicidal because it has no gears, but I'm getting there...

Shinji just graduated and is soon leaving Boston. We're going to try to steal his passport before that happens miss him so much!

On another note, What do you think about my Converse? I glued studs and Swarovski charms on them yesterday. I think they look badass!

Besos,

PS: Shinji, if you read this, please don't cry!
