Studding sneakers has been on our DIY to-do list for awhile now. But the idea of hand piercing hundreds of holes through thick canvas was daunting enough to allow such procrastination. Enter E6000, the crème de la crème of adhesives. As you probably know by now, it’s our secret weapon for quickly and effectively attaching metal to fabric. So after the recent release of Vans‘ brushed twill pastel Authentics, we thought it was the perfect summer shoe to adorn. So grab some glue and let’s get studding! And don’t forget to enter our giveaway, after the jump, for a chance to win a pair of our favorite kicks . . .
You’ll need:
- a pair of sneakers
- 150 – 200 brass cone spikes
- E6000 adhesive
- a disposable container or popsicle stick
- toothpicks
Start by squeezing a small amount of E6000 into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick. Dispensing a small amount at a time prevents the glue from drying too quickly. Using the tip of a toothpick, apply a small dollop of glue onto the back of a spike. (Click images to enlarge)
Press the spike into the sneaker, holding it in place for a few seconds.
Continue adding spikes along the shoe’s baseline and working upwards in horizontal lines.
Arrange the spikes, without glue, into awkward spaces before attaching them.
Glue spikes onto the heel cap, again working horizontally.
Allow the shoes to dry overnight before wearing them!
We loved these brushed twill pastel sneakers so much that Vans has offered to give away a pair, of any color choice, to two lucky readers. Simply leave a comment below, check out Vans on Twitter and Facebook, and a winner will be selected at random on Thursday, May 17th. (Sorry, limited to US residents only. Sizes and color subject to availability. Good luck! xx Contest is now closed. Congratulations to Enna S. and Carol J.!)

Awesome. I love that you don’t have to poke hundreds of holes in your shoes to make this happen. Would love to win a pair, but if not, I’ll just have to do this to some other lucky pair of sneakers.

What a clever idea — gives me lots of ideas for beading and other embellishments!
I love these shoes! Perfect tennies for summer!
How awesome are these shoes! I’d love to make a pair of my own!
Love Vans, such comfy shoes. I wear a pair of their classics for work pretty much everyday! I’d love a pair of their new pastel babies. I’d wear them in the lovely powder blue you featured, or the pink mist, or the pale banana! If there was a mint color I’d go for that too! I definitely liked Vans on facebook.
Good luck everyone!
Ah that glue looks very effective! I’ve been using gorilla glue for my projects which gets messy and has that weird foamy stuff afterwards. =/ Thanks for the giveaway!
whyyy US only? 🙁 hate it
When I first saw this DIY I had my fingers crossed this didn’t involve punching holes and a hammer! Good call guys.
In the meantime, hook me up! 🙂
super cute and easy too! i just did something similar to this with a pair of heels. i added studs to the back! thanks for the giveaway! good luck everyone
Seems like studded shoes are very trendy this season.
Nice DIY.
http://threeanglesdesign.blogspot.de/
OMG these are seriously amazing I am in love with the studded baby blue pair! I’m going to try this myself!
I actually need to stud my vans. I hardly ever wore them because they are white, and I have trouble pulling that look off. Studding them would most likely make me wear them as often.
xoxo, Aves Gry
i <3 Vans!
Perfekt!
FOLLOW ME ON MA COPINE REBECCA BLOG!
love love love all vans but the studs make them super rad!
OH i think i fell in love <3 with the pink pair of studded vans 🙂
It would be sooooo nice when I can win the shoes 🙂

Love the soft pastel colors! So pretty!
Hope I win !
The color of the van is amazing. The pastel color is so in trend and the studs just make everything better! I love how the color and the studs seem kind of odd yet they complement each other so well. I’ll be definitely checking out the new vans! Also, thank you so much for the DIY! I’ll make sure I try this soon!

Nice! Do those spikes come in silver? I really hope so. Either way, they rock and so do the sneaks.
love the blue ones!!!
http://bonnieclydemarni.blogspot.com/

This is such a simple way to add spunk to casual sneakers 😀

Sweet! I love studded stuff, but after spending hours adding studs (poking lots of holes!) to a messenger bag I’m not looking forward to another project for a while. This would be great!
I lovelovelove vans! The classic checkerboard are my go to pair almost every day! Since May 17th is my bday, winning a pair would make me the happiest gal in the land! If not, I still lovelovelove vans!
What a great idea – I especially love the pattern upon the pink vans! Certainly personalises them. I’d love to be entered into the giveaway!
Loving the pink with gold spikes!
Oh my! These are amazing! I think I’m gonna have to make a pair regardless of if I win. Love this!!

Thanks so much!
Can’t wait for my free pair to try this out!

Oh man! So awesome! I wear Vans Authentics basically every day. This is beyond perfect.
Awesome! Love they two different styles.

I would loooove these shoes sooo amazing!
AMAZiNG!! Definitely needs to be added to my shoe collection!!
I’m a huge fan of Vans: I have a ton of Slip-Ons myself. I want to try this out for myself! I wonder how long the studs stay on the shoes; I’m pretty rough with my footwear.

These are wonderful!
I bought some shoes WEEKS ago in hopes of studding them, only to find I can only find studs online and then not sure which ones I would want. This is perfect!
Amazing shoes…i would LOVE the pink ones!!

Perfect Sunday brunch shoes 🙂
Awesome giveaway! Loving all my vans.
Vans are a staple for every Cali girl. lovelovelove!
I never thought about using E6000 – perfect since it dries flexible. I might have to try this on a jacket!
will do !
The blue are cute, but I want them in yellow!
Hoping I win so i can rock these at EDC! :]
Vans are the perfect canvas shoe, now they are an artist’s canvas, too. So much fun to create a work of art on a work of comfy shoe art!
Imagine kicking someone in the face with these. Wow that would hurt…
I bought some shoes WEEKS ago in hopes of studding them, only to find I can only find studs online and then not sure which ones I would want. This is perfect!!!
adore these, and love that you got the studs from spikes&studs. i bought 1″ dome studs to make a DIY headboard and my logo sign for my graduation portfolio show.
thanks dolls for always showing such brilliant gems.
Yes so beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration. I hate studding by hand it hurts my digits 🙂
these are so cute!!
http://www.tseparfait.com
Too awesome. Love that this can be translated to other shoes and accessories!
these are GREAT and I can’t wait to pick up some E6000! I’d love to win the Vans too! I already have a few pairs of slip ons 😉

Such a great tutorial. Definitely going to try these on the pink vans I have at home.

I have always been a huge fan of Vans shoes. Growing up, skateboarding was what everybody was doing and everybody was wearing the checkerboard Vans … a true classic. I would love to own another pair!! xx

Dear shoe god,
I know I promised to never ask for
another pair of shoes after my wedge
obsession earlier this spring… but
please, PLEASE, let these studded vans
be the only exception!! The pastel/metal
combo is the only thing that my poor
tortured heart desires!! Make my feet
the most happy, stylish ones in all of
Maryland this summer!
xoxo,
Enna

It would be hard to pick just one color! Love the spikes.
Super adorable! And you’re completely right about E-6000. I use it in my art classroom all the time.
Vans + studs = a D.I.Y. I might actually do! x
This are soooo cute! I really like the pink ones too!
Ahhh I love these! I DIY some things but I’ve never seen this before. Always wanted a pair of Vans tho….. would love to win a pair. pretty please? 😀

Love, Love, Love these sneakers. I would LOVE to win a pair but if I don’t I will put my creative forces to work to create my own. However, I would LOVE to be wearing the “won pair’ as inspiration while designing my own. Great DIY, so cute! xo xo!
Brilliant, if I don’t win I’m making myself a pair anyway!
Wow! I’ve been meaning to get a pair of vans! I’m a Converse girl, but I can change. 😉
I am obsessed with those pastel vans. And accenting them with hardware? I’m completely in love. The coolest of the cool.

My daughter told me I was too old for Vans. I mean is there an age limit to Vans?! Had a checkerboard pair back in the 80’s before the skateboarders had them. Love the soft pastel colors.
Guess I know what I’m doing this weekend! I’ll test it out on a pair of old sneakers while I wait for the winning pair of more fabulous vans!
Um, I need these — they’ll dress up my Mommy wardrobe. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
These look so perfect for summer!
Oh my god, these are honestly my new obsession. You guys have done it again!! I hope I win the pair, I would wear them with some high waisted denim shorts & a cropped top. Twould be ideall! Ahh I hope I win if not, I’ll be rocking a pair somehow, someway.

This is seriously the cutest idea ever. I love the new pastel brushed twill Vans!
LOVE THESE! I love the shoes, and I love the idea. I suggest E6000 to everyone, (I work in a craft store…) it really is a great adhesive! I am going to be making these, I hope I win some Vans! 🙂
If I won the Vans, I would have to clear my calendar for the very next day to do this…such fun!
Oh so cute!! I would love a pair of these sneakers.

I looovee this so going to buy a pair and do this… 😀
So cute!
I’m moving to Indonesia next month and these would be the perfect shoes to walk around in. Crossing my fingers for a win. And thanks for the tutorial!
These are super cute 🙂
QUESTION: What do you do with the “thingies” under the stud? The ones you normally use to attach the spike to the shoe? Do you break them off or fold them?
Love the DIY!!!
xx
Love! Great for the summer time!!!
love these!
i’ve been trying to make a pair of these for so long. this way is so much easier than methods i’ve tried in the past. love the metal with the pastel colors. great summer shoe!

Why am I so in looooooooooove with these sneakers? I think it’s pretty much a disease because I showed a friend and she literally screamed in my ear. I just stood there, half deaf and nodding my head with success..
You probably thought reading this was a waste. I get that.. a lot. ._.
ANYWAY. I think the sneaker are AH-MAZING and GORGEOUS!
WOW

I honestly love these so much!! The pastel color is right on trend for spring and is girl but the spikes add and edge. Vans are so comfortable and are for ever age group, these would be so versatile and are very original and no doubt about getting loads of compliments.

I love these! I’m definitely doing this! Perfect combination!

These Vans sneakers instantly became more desirable now that HONESTLY WTF added their unique touch to them. I want these shoes to be on my feet this very moment so I can show them off to everyone. The studs jazz them up and make them so much more playful which is what I love!!!
I love these shoes. My sister owns a pair and I have always been envious!
Awesome giveaway!
This is the perfect combo of hardass and girly. Love it!
I have so many pairs of vans, but they’re all too beat up to put studs on and still look nice ;(
Thanks for this giveaway!
LOVE!! I have been wanting a new pair of Vans for the longest time and these are perfect! Even after I stud them I should have no problem whipping around the skate park!!! Thanks for another wonderful DIY
Those are soo cool!
Have always been on the lookout for a pair of Vans just like this, great combination of girly and tough!
Great!! Love this DIY.
Would love to win some Vans….I used to have the checkered ones in high school! I loved them.

I am digging the combination of pastel with the studs. This is one of those shoes that can be girly and badass at the same time, which is perfect for summer. I am seriously hoping to score a pair but if not, thank you for the DIY tutorial! I am definitely going to be making these in the near future!

what a perfect diy!
I love Vans. They are the comfiest and cutest sneakers!
Love this idea. I’ve been wanting to studd some leather loafers I have. Does the E6000 work only on canvas?
Super cute and unique! Can’t wait to try it!
Amazing! Love your DIY! So cool!

Wear gloves when using that glue! It works but it is very toxic!
I would try it but i want the vans!!! <3 Love them so much!
I LOOOOOOOVVVEEE THIS SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Hello! I just found you! I really like your diy ideas. I love Vans also!! 🙂
These are awesome, I really want these shoes!
Super DIY !! I anticipate your next one, it never disappoints 🙂
LOVE it!
I love that you won’t have those metal spikes inside to hurt your toes. That’s a great idea to put rinestones on my pumps for a night out. Thanks!
nice DIY idea – even better outcome, but i would advise against using this adhesive. E6000 is incredibly toxic, so much so that if you read the fine print on the tube it clearly states that it hosts cancer causing agents. i used it not more than twice before throwing it out, the fumes made me feel unbelievably sick…
These are DOPE! definitely going to customize my own.
Hey. I really like this DIY so much that i used it on my blog! Check it out!

What a fantastic idea! I didn’t realize that you could glue on studs. I love it!
ooh! this is so cool! the pastel vans look so lovely, perfect for summer!
i might even try this on my black vans!
I’ve been meaning to make these for ages – ever since I saw your jewelled Vans, I thought….”Hey! Your could do the same thing with studs…”
I’m glad you did this DIY – I wasn’t sure how I saw going to design the vans with studs.
I wanted to ask…do any craft shops sell the studs? I’ve seen a lot of people buy the studs from studsandspikes.com but I wasn’t sure if it was reliable….
Thanks again!
These are perfect!
It there ABSOLUTLY anyway that we can pay you for these? And you send them to me? These are sooooo amazing! I think I’m in love
the pink ones are super cute! I might try this at homme :]
oh my gosh! these are absolutely adorable!
Omg,
That so creativity! (:
are these for guys too just asking ?:)
whoah, these are TOO COOL. I can’t wait to stud a pair of old sneakers! (too bad I can’t afford a pair of those vans — they’re perfect for this)
Where can you get the spikes?!
@Jordan Marie – if you click the link, you will see that you can get them at http://www.studsandspikes.com
There’s also a way to get spikes for free (they’re not the exact same ones, but close.) Here’s a link on how to do that if you’re interested. http://www.instructables.com/id/Getting-free-studs-from-wwwstudsandspikescom/
Omg. I’m going to try this! 🙂
They look so gorgeous! I have to try this!! Xx

what kind of studs do you need to use? i know you glue it on so do i need the screw in studs to have something to glue to?
I absolutely looooovee these shoes! However, I can’t find the powder blue color ANYWHERE. Please,help!
Wow, that is so beautiful! This picture goes around on the internet so much, it’s amazing (: love it<3
Wow, this is a great idea! I already have a pair of Vans, adding spikes is a great way change the look.
these are so cute and different I love them!!!
Very cute shoes, I think I might try this 🙂
These studded vans are TO-DIE-FOR!
Hi, I love this tutorial and would love to do it at home, but i can’t find the brass cone spikes you used anywhere online! 🙁 I would appreciate it GREATLY if you told me where you purchased the brass cone spikes 🙂
I just did this today! Turned out amazing; definitely worth the $60 worth of spikes from studsandspikes.com
I did this DIY a week ago and it turned out just as I imagined! I did it the hard way and poked all the studs onto the shoes, but it was all worth it! You can see the result here: http://theblackone.dk/2012/06/diy-studded-sneakers/
i’m in love with these. i still want to stud EVERYthing.

I LOVE THESE SHOES!!! unfortunatly i didnt see them untill today 🙁 i would love to own a pair please tell me that you will be giving away another pair soon 🙂
The men’s are 50% off at Nordstrom’s now! I got them for $35!
cute!
could not do that to a new pair of vans:( Looks good though:3
Amazing, thank you for sharing,, I will be studding a pair to wear on vacation!!!
Instead of having to pay $65 for the brushed twill pastel Vans, I purchased the Vans Canvas Authentic in Blue Bell for $45! So much cheaper, yet same style and color!
Where do you get the studs
waar koop je die lijm en studs??
where can i buy this things?
studs and glue ??
Hi you do a pair of vans for me with studs how much will it be? i really really want one. but if i made one by myself where could i buy these studs and glue? and is it diffucult to put the studs on?
CAN HONESTLY SAY THESE ARE THE MOST AMAZING PAIR OF VANS I HAVE EVER SEEN !!!!!! MY BIRTHDAYS SOON SO I KNOW WHAT I’M ASKING MY MUM FOR THIS YEAR ;D REALLY WANT THEM <3<3<3<3
love them! if one falls off will it leave a mark were the glue is and look messy?
What size were your cone spikes?
I have everything I need to make a pair i just can’t find the right spikes anywhere!! recommendations??
What colour is better? :)) Light pink or light blue?
Would these work with the pyramid/square studs?
Wow, awesome shoes! I love the pink ones! You should do instructions for the pink ones too! Is it possible to order them from you with the studs on already???
🙂
Thanks
What size of spikes do you use?
I want this vans!!! :*** Can you buy me, please? :))) :D*
Omg thats so freaking awsome!
im going to try but with navy blue… SOOO EXCITED these r amazing
I adore all things studded, these shoes are made for me. I need them in EVERY color possible!
This is so cool! I never would have thought it would be so easy to make those. I love it with the blue and it’d look awesome with red vans!
Thanks. It’s cool
and I want this vans TT
can you buy these online?
with site?
i want these so badly!!
Sooooo I LOVE the idea!! I tried this with the light blue sneaker… But i ran into a HUGE problem! I ran out of spikes! I am assuming this is because i have slightly larger feet. -___- So i only had enough to do the front parts of both of my sneakers! Sooooo BUY MORE SPIKES IF YOU HAVE KINDA BIG FEET!!! But my shoes are STILL cute… I refuse to buy more spikes because they are wayyyyy to expensive!
AMAZING! I’ve been wanting to attach some studs to my flats for a while now! I never thought of using E6000 glue!

Hi ! Do u know where I can find spike cones in France ?
Thanks !
I love these shoes and the idea is very fun 🙂 are these really the brushed twill authentics or the classic canvas? I can’t find the shoe itself anywhere and I want to purchase them so I can do this at home. Could you please tell me where I can find them?
can u please tell me where i can get those brass cone spikes
@ardita at studsandspikes.com!
omg ! great idea!! Do you sell this vans with studs?!
What did you do with the prongs on the studs?
Love these!
so cool going do this!
Did you use 6 or 8mm studs? i would love to try this out myself but have to special order the studs. love love love these shoes!!
Wheres the best place to buy these studs?! i feel like i’m going to need some many for upcoming DIY projects….

Hi can you tell me what mm I need if I wanted a quarter inch stud, many thanks. I want red ones for White converse, I’m thinking I could spray paint them. Also just want glue on.
Hey, would the studs not rearrange or fall off when the shoe bends from walking??? … SOMEBODY get back to me A.S.A.P.!!!! thank youuuuu
@Shawn G, no the studs will not fall of or rearrange from walking. E6000 is heavy duty enough to keep the studs on. Hope that helps!
How would you clean these sneakers if they got dirty? Could you clean them even if you stuck the studs on them? Wouldn’t they go off?
I NEED THESE. I’ve been looking everywhere for the blue vans like these but i can’t find them anywhere i really want to make them…. does anyone know where i can get them from ??????
too cute
Does anyone know where I can buy those studs?? I love the shape of them, but haven´t seen them anywhere…
Hi everyone!! If anyone wants me to spike up or stud them some vans like these then let me know. You can contact me through email vivianjhaynes@gmail.com. I have the exact same spikes as seen on here. I can also get the vans for you but of course that would be extra.
pretty shoes, might try it!<3

It’s scary when your kids mature enough to tell you, ” I want REAL clothes and SNEAKERS, no more Target and consignment shops Mom!” So her first pair where green Vans and A&F kids clothes! Imagine getting spikes….envy of the Fifth grade!!
these are so cute! Definitely adding this to my ‘To Do’ list
Trying to do this project… Any idea where I can find these studs for a reasonable price? I’ve been looking for a while and can’t find them.
love these sooooooo much gonna get them done with my sister this summer, cant wait 🙂 🙂
Hello. Where can I buy the Vans California brushed twill in powder blue? I’ve looked everywhere on the internet, but it’s literally wiped off the earth or something. Nordstrom is sold out, not that Nordstrom ever will ship to my country anyway.
I REALLY NEED THESE VANS, these exact vans! The blue bell ones are just too blue, if you get my point. These are perfect.
THANK YOU.
echt super gaaf ik ga het zelf ook proberen en iedereen op school zal het geweldig vinden ! 🙂
im in LOVE with the pink ones, totally fab
Those are so cute! I’m going to have to try them on these women shoes i just got!
You’ve made some good points there. I looked on the
web to learn more about the issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this website.
Iv just made these they look fab thankyou for telling us how to do it 😀
Do you know where i can buy the pink vans, like in the picture ?
Do you know where I can buy the studs with the flat back?
@sarah you can buy the shoes from Journeys
I love these Vans!!!! I love these pastel colors, and how these Vans are the perfect colors for summer!! Where would you be able to buy these Vans?
tfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff they are so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee am loving it
lovvvve themxx
I love this;)
So cute!!
I have pastel green and I think it would be nice to have a pair and people at school will be like how did you make it and all I have to say I got it from Erica that did a D.I.Y tutorial on this website.
The materials seem really well made and the style overall is comfortable. Initially, they felt a little stiff but I think I just need to wear them a little more to break them in. Very warm and comfy!
I love these! Great take on high fashion trends! Are these too young and hip for a 30 year old? I hope not because I want them!! 😉
I’ve never seen it before… very impressive me! 😀 I just wanna try now… Love it 🙂
