Pointy, pointy shoes

Otherwise known as "what happens when Jilli sees things on tumblr, then realizes she has the supplies upstairs in the storage room":



(Yes, I had a spare pair of black flats AND an assortment of spikes. What?)

(Yes, I wore them to the office today. No writer is going to sass ME, I tell you what. Now if only the threat of spiky shoes would get the network to obey me.)

In other news, guess who just stapled the arm seam of her vintage blouse after it ripped? I'm just telling myself I'm oh-so-deathrock. Or something.

In other other news, Dear LJ front page, having one of your spotlight communities be one about tarantulas? With its creepy-crawly user icon? NOT OKAY, THANKS.

These spikes (and most spikes) are screw-back, so you need to punch a hole in whatever you're applying them to in order to poke the screw through. I used one of those Crop-a-Dile scrapbooking tools; the punch part made perfect holes in the leather.

To apply studs, you push the pointy tack ends through the material, and then bend them in/flat with a pair of needle-nosed pliers.
