I don't know about you, but if I see another black leather belt I'm going to get sick. Okay, maybe not that extreme; however, I'm always looking for ways to look fresh and new, instead of same old:)These Velvet-Ribbon Belts are fairly inexpensive and you can tailor them to fit anyone. I'm making a couple for myself and giving a few as gifts. Add a luxurious touch to any winter outfit with a belt of velvet ribbon. As always, the added bonus is you can pick your fabric made of natural fibers and not mostly synthetic fabrics, how great!
- Cut 2 1/2 yards of natural-fiber velvet ribbon.
- Slip two D rings slightly wider than the ribbon onto one end, and fold both ends of the ribbon in toward the midpoint, fuzzy side out, keeping the D rings at one folded end.
- Remove backing from a 1 1/4-yard piece of iron-on fuse tape, and sandwich it between the layers; place scrap velvet facedown on top, and iron on the cotton setting to fuse the layers.
Blogging for the coming week includes: Look for more highlights of handmade gifts on my blog throughout the week till Wed. Thursday, I'll be featuring the children's book warehouse sale I'm attending. Friday, I'll be describing our upcoming annual weekend shopping trip with tips on the sales and advice on "What to Never buy on Sale". And sometime through out the week, I'll be giving a quick "get to know" bio of our family and life here in Nebraska.
A big Thank-you to the over 100 people who have visited our blog over the past week!
