Ripping Out Studs and Saving Money

Hey guys! To make every punk outfit complete.,.,you got to add studs to them! BUT! When I look up prices for studs I always get discourage because of the prices and the amount you get. (ToT) 
Well now here's an option you can do to get those studs and make your outfits punk!
I do this simple trick that gets me studs and keeps money in my wallet.
So here's what you can do! Go to to a thrift store/goodwill and buy some awesome belts with studs on them. Make sure you check on the back where you can see the prongs. That way you know its easier to take them out~

 

Now the tools you will need are - a pair of pliers and a flat tip screw driver

Now you would use the flat tip to pop out one side of the studs and you would repeat that to all the studs on the belt. I know,.,.it takes time, but its worth it in the end (*^^*)

When you're done with that. Take your pliers and carefully, without scratching the stud or crushing it, take the studs out of the belt. If you need to,.,.just wiggle the stud back and forth until it pops out! If you want to make sure you dont scratch the stud, tape up the pliers (^o^)

Now do that to all your belts and you will end up with a tub full of studs!!!!

You can use any kinds of studs that you find on belts! Domes, pyramids,.,even stars if you get lucky!!! Happy recycling and stud finding (*^^*)/
