Elastic Brad Belt
This project uses thick elastic and the least expected item for any kind of fashion DIY - scrapbooking brads. These are usually used to accent photographs & pages, and come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. I found these large circle brads in silver/gold/brass/copper, and used them to "stud" a waist belt made from sewing elastic. Supplies: - Thick sewing elastic - Scrapbooking brads of your choice - Metal belt closure (I took mine from a thrifted belt) - White gel pen - Hot glue gun 1) Measure a piece of elastic at the length desired - I decided to make mine a waist belt. Add half an inch to an inch at both ends.
