You Will Need (6 things)

  • 1 Old Belt (Skinny)
  • 1 Scissors
  • 1 Permanent Marker
  • 1 Leather Punch
  • Studs (Optional)
  • Eyelets

Steps (7 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    For this tutorial, you’ll need the following items:

    Old belts
    Scissors
    Marker (Not pictured)
    Leather Punch
    Studs & eyelets (Optional)

  2. 2

    Handle the end with the buckle and wrap the belt around your wrist to get the circumference. Get creative! — We’re going with a double-wrap.

  3. 3

    Mark the centre with a small cross. Remember to give it some allowance!

  4. 4

    Leave about 3cm (or whatever desired length) and snip it off with a pair of scissors. You should now have what looks like a very short belt. Ours measured 16″ but don’t worry if yours is shorter/longer.

  5. 5

    Using the cross you just drew as a guide, make a hole in the centre of the belt with a leather punch. The buckle will now fit through here instead.

  6. 6

    You’re done!!! Feel free to embellish or decorate your new belt bracelet with studs or even eyelets!
