Description
Add a polished decorative finish to your leathercraft projects with these 20mm Round Decorative Studs in nickel finish. Designed for straightforward installation, each stud features two separate prongs that are pushed through small slits in the leather and bent over securely on the reverse side.
The smooth, round design provides an attractive metallic accent that suits traditional, Western, costume and contemporary leatherwork. These nickel decorative studs are ideal for enhancing belts, bags, wristbands, costumes, pouches, collars and other handmade leather goods.
No specialised stud-setting tool is required. Carefully mark the placement, cut two narrow slits that match the prong positions, push the prongs through the leather and bend them firmly against the back. For a neater finish and improved comfort, the folded prongs can be covered with a lining where appropriate.

Installation Instructions
Mark the desired position of the stud on the front of the leather. Using an appropriate cutting tool, create two small slits that align with the stud’s prongs. Avoid making the slits wider than necessary, as a close fit will help hold the stud securely.
Push both prongs completely through the prepared slits. On the reverse side, carefully bend the prongs outward and flatten them against the leather. Take care not to overwork the prongs, as repeatedly bending metal fittings may weaken them.
Always test the installation method on a scrap piece of leather first. This allows you to check the slit spacing, finished appearance and suitability of the stud for your chosen leather thickness.
Why Choose These Decorative Studs?
The generous 20mm round face creates a noticeable decorative feature without requiring complicated installation equipment. Their bright nickel finish coordinates well with nickel buckles, rivets, press studs and other silver-coloured hardware.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 10, these studs are suitable for small projects, repairs, samples and matching decorative arrangements. They offer leatherworkers an easy way to personalise handmade goods and create a clean, professional-looking finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these studs require a setter?
No. The two prongs are pushed through small prepared slits in the leather and bent over on the reverse side.
What size are the studs?
Each decorative stud has a round 20mm face.
Can they be used on belts?
Yes. They are well suited to decorative belt work, provided the prongs can pass through the leather and be folded securely.
Should I cover the prongs?
For items worn against the skin or projects where the reverse side is visible, adding a leather lining can conceal the prongs and provide a neater finish.
Are these suitable for every leather thickness?
Suitability will depend on the prong length and the construction of your project. Test one on scrap leather before installing the complete set.
