Inspired by my favorite fashion bloggers, I always wanted to have my own spiked/studded cap. Not only does it add more edge to anyone’s outfit, but it is also very versatile! One can think of thousands of ways to spice up an outfit just by having a gold spiked cap.

Considering the fact that you can’t always have what you want, why not make what you want instead? Since spiked caps sold online and in malls are very expensive, a DIY project became my solution. Here’s how I made my own gold spiked cap.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

• Before anything else, make sure you have everything you need. (See list above.) Some materials may vary according to your preference. For example, you can use fabric glue to attach the spikes if you’re not comfortable using a thread and needle. If you’re going to use a thread and needle to attach the spikes, make sure the spikes you have contain holes in them.
• Arrange your spikes and studs in the spaces where you want them to go. Make sure they are evenly distributed and properly spaced. You can place them close together or far apart—it’s all up to you, beauties! This is where you’re free to use your creativity. ;)
• After deciding where you want to place your spikes and studs, attach the spikes using a thread and needle. Add the studs for more edge! Check if your studs come with nailheads for easier attachment. If not, you can use fabric glue and apply it using a toothpick.
• Repeat adding your desired spikes and studs until you’re happy with the outcome.
• Voila! You may now wear your gold studded cap. :)) Wear it with style and a smile!

Here’s what mine looked like:

Note: It didn’t have studs because I always failed to visit any fashion stores. Lol.

They said that going far away from home can change one’s perspective on life. For the past few weeks, I’ve been MIA from the world of blogging. I had to pack up my things, travel five hours away from home, and try to fit in. Of course, I missed my life in the city, my family, and everything within my comfort zone. We were required to go to Medellin and live there as part of our course requirements. Solitary nights made me want to go home as soon as possible, but the genuine smiles of the people in Medellin made it a place worth missing.

Not everything that happened in Medellin was wholesome; some experiences were frustrating or rather disappointing, but all of them were worthwhile. Staying in Medellin, a municipality located in the northern part of Cebu, not only teaches me something new about my chosen field of study, but also about life in general.
