Easy Peasy Belt

Ok, this belt is super easy!! First you need to start with 2 D-rings and some belting. I got this cute belting from Joann's. They also have princess belting and many others. :)


You will want to measure your munchkins waist then and about 5 inches and cut the belting to that length. For example I cut mine to 24 inches for my skinny 2 1/2 year old. Now place both D-rings through one end of your belting with the front side facing down.

Next fold over and tuck in the raw edge. I folded the raw edge over about 1/4 in and then again about an inch.Now sew across your fold making sure you are sewing through the folded raw edge as well. I used the "triple stitch" stitch on my sewing machine just to make sure it wasn't going anywhere :)
This is what it should look like when you are done.
Next you want to fold over the other end. I folded the raw edge over once 1/4 in and then folded it again a 1/4 in.

Finally sew that end. I sewed once about 1/8 inch from the end and again another 1/8 inch using the "triple stitch" again.


Here is your finished belt! Now wasn't that super easy? :)

Here it is on a pair of pants.

You can also tuck it in so the character can be seen all the way around like I did when my little guy was wearing it.


Now for the giveaway. I have two belts...one lavender (for a girl) and one navy blue with frogs (for a boy) on it. I will post pictures tomorrow.

Make sure you leave your email address so I can let you know if you win :)

Here are the belts...I think I'm going to make a princess belt instead of the lavender for a girl but haven't gotten that belting yet. :)
