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.

MOD!
My BFF and I got into a huge fight! I apologized and now we are "FRIENDLY" towards each other. I am having a bday party with like 5 people. Should I invite her? It might make everyone uncomfortable though...Thanks!

 

Hey girl!  If you want things to get better with you two, go ahead and invite her.  If she doesn't want to come, she doesn't have to, but by inviting her you're being the bigger person by extending an open hand.   Best, Kristen
