DIY Converse

Remember that DIY project - studded converse? Well, I had a beige pair of Converse, which I successfully colored into black, the only problem is that the rubber on them ended up grey.. I wasn't sure how to color it, but I finally found some black paint and after a bit of painting, this is how they look now. I didn't color them entirely, but instead decided to leave a bit of grey at the front, for a worn out look..what do you think? Now all I need are the studs :)

DIY project - studded Converse

Hey there!
Sorry for the lack of posts, but I've been really busy with exams..it feels so nice to be able to read blogs and have a bit of free time to work on my own..
Recently, I've been wanting to do a DIY project, and I think I just found the perfect one! I have an old pair of converse at home, which I don't really wear a lot, because they're a weird beige color that I used to like... Now, I'm thinking of coloring them black and adding some studs to them..so they would look a bit like this:

I only have two tiny problems: I haven't yet figured out how to color the converse, nor where exactly to buy studs :) any ideas?
