Old Belt made New!
This belt was a hand-me-down. It took a while but i think it was worth it. I was inspired by the colors of cobra starships new album cover "Hot Mess". I used the colors in the title which i showed here in the 4th picture.

Try sealing it w/ some sort of Spray Sealant/Protective Finishing Spray. You should be a able to find it at a Craft/Fabric Store. By the way- I love this Idea! Nice Job!
