DIY Burberry Studded Sandals
So I’ve been tracking JuliAM of Over the Undies since she set out a month ago to create her own version of “Burberry badass-ness” inspired by the studded platforms pictured below. Though the Burberry’s were love at first site for me also, I wasn’t feeling near as ambitious as JuliAM, so I decided to watch from afar to see where her talents led her… The end result? AMAZING!
Inspiration: Burberry Studded Platform Sandal, $940
Starting from scratch:
Supplies included black platform sandals (try these Carlos Santana’s from Zappos), pliars, hundreds of pyramid studs, multisurface adhesive and countless hours of time (and patience).
In experimenting with different glues, I think she found this adhesive worked best.
Mid-way: Looking good!
End result: Jaw-dropping!
JuliAM, if you’re reading this, we’d love to know how long it took, where you purchased the sandals and any final thoughts on the DIY. Seriously, this is truly fashion-spiring work!

OMG, I wish I had the patience for this but I still haven’t even gotten around to doing my own ombre tights!
I am BEYOND impressed at this effort (and totally inspired to try something similar!)
Thanks for posting!
hey thanks for the post! it took forever…and the glue takes a while to dry so i could only do one section at a time, plus i had to individually bend the prongs of each of the studs in before glueing. but honestly, i’m so happy with the results. the original sandals were from bakers shoes, but if you’re gonna try it i recommend not using a shoe with an elastic strap (totally complicated things haha).
I feel inspired to try to put crystals on my Haviana flip flop now.
What a brilliant project! I might just attempt it for myself. I looooove it xoxo
Yay for JuliAM! Keep me posted on other DIY projects!
OMG….I love it!!!!!!!!
