Looking for a way to fab up your look...for free? Try making a great accessory that you can rock with just about any dress this summer!


Here's a great way to make a simple and trendy wide-stretch belt. You'll have everyone asking where you got it.


What You'll Need:

Stretch material in any color
Scissors
Measuring Tape
Fabric Glue
Belt clasp from old belt or purchased at craft store
Jewels, ribbon or other fun decorative details


What You'll Do:

1.Measure the width of you waist, and cut a half inch shorter than what you measured (this will ensure your stretch belt will stay up).
2. Cut stretch material to a 4-inch length
3. Once cut accordingly feel free to decorate with studs or jewels by adhering it with the fabric glue.
4. Finish it off with a great clasp, wide belt buckle, or even ribbon to tie it closed for a flirty look.
5. Show it off to your friends at the next party.


Our tip: WalMart and Michael's are great places that have all the materials needed.

I wear belts all the time. If I was the editor I would write about all the belts I have! They pull a outfit together.

i just got a pair of goldish brownish gladiators, but on me, only look cute with skinny jeans. i spent a lot of money on these. How can i look cute and at the same time not waste money? HELP!! THANKS!! <3 <3 <3




Hey girl, gladiators can look good with lots of diff looks. Try pairing them with a cute, flirty skirt or a summery dress. They also look hot with a pair of shorts. Mix and match your outfits, and you'll find that glads can go with a ton of looks! ~Alexa

MOD MOD MOD Im confused which do I have to cut 1/2 in shorter the stretch material? lol Because then # 2 confuses me more by saying cutting the stretch material 4 inches does that mean another piece or that same piece from # 1

 

Hey girl, step 1 is talking about cutting the best for your width (this means around the belly)!  Step 2 is talking about the length of the belt (this means how thick the belt will be)!  You want to cut it 1/2 in shorter in width so it is guranteed to stay put around the belly!  The thickness is really up to you but we suggest a 4 in thickness!  Good luck fahsionista!

What is stretch material? Where can you buy it? Thanks!







Hey girl!  Stretch material is stretchy fabric.  If you're looking for clothes in that material check out a sports store or any other clothing store.  If you're looking for the fabric try checking out a Joann's  or other fabric store.  Best, Kristen
