DIY A Studded, Valentino-Inspired Clutch

Just when we thought we'd never stud again, Valentino's metal-embellished shoes and bags came around and forced us to eat our stud-denouncing words. No longer relegated to the rock-'n'-roll chick alone (although, that still works, too), the Valentino details add even more sophistication to a classic and simple silhouette.
Naturally, we were inspired to flex our DIY muscles and got to work on our own interpretation — and we have to say, we're loving the results. For this easy and quick project, just grab a plain leather clutch and then follow us as we show you how to totally transform it.

What you'll need:
A plain leather clutch
About 150 silver pyramid studs (depending on the size of your bag and studs)
A pair of needle-nose pliers
