On Monday I went to the J.Crew sample sale here in NYC, and stumbled upon this string covered belt that I immediately fell in love with. However, it wasn’t my size, and it would have been hard to pop additional holes without ruining the string. No surprise that I decided to DIY it with a cheap old belt from H&M. Although it took a few hours to do, it came out great- so I suggest doing it when you have a free afternoon.
What you need:
1. Cheap old belt
2. Several colors of friendship bracelet string. 5 was plenty to cover the belt
3. Scissors
4. Tacky craft glue. You don’t want anything too sticky or that dries super fast
5. Nailpolish (optional, if you don’t like your belt color)
{My advice: Twist the belt as you wrap, not the string, it’s faster!}
{The finished product}
