Make a studded wristband for your doll

These are quick and easy and look pretty good. You can make studded wristbands, studded collars, or whatever you want to be spiked. First take a piece of scrap leather and cut it to the length and width you want. Now take it out to the garage. Put it on something solid and hit it with a hammer. I used an anvil but most people don't have one hanging around their house.
Angle the hammer so you get some rough edges. Be careful not to hit it so much that it breaks into little pieces when you try to pick it up. Keep checking on it as you pound. You could probably use a rock instead of a hammer too. If you don't want it distressed - then just leave it as is or sew a little hem on each side. Then take a 3D paint (like Scribbles) and make little spikes.
Hold the little bottle upside down and squeeze a tiny bit out, pulling up on the bottle as you do. You can go over it with another layer after it's dry but I find it hard to get the succeeding layers looking good. Sometimes they get droopy but don't worry about it, because as it begins to dry you can stand it back up with a toothpick. You can also paint over them - see how the spikes are silver in the second picture? I didn' t have black 3D paint. So I just painted acrylic over it when it was dry. Once everything is dry you can glue or sew the band around the doll's wrist. I first used this spike method around a dragon's eyes, it was taught in a pattern by Melinda Patterson (Smallworks). But works great for studded accessories, LOL.
