So, I saw this waistbelt on Ebay:

And first I didn't really get that it was a belt, I thought it was a wristband and I thought it was pretty cool. A friend asked me wether to do it myself, how much afford that might take and stuff.
I spontaneously decided to just try it :D In wristband-size, of course. ;)

Steps (11 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start with a stencil. I copied the shape through my computer screen. Cut out the dark parts.

    Sew on a piece of felt on the backside and add a brooch needle. So you can attach it to whatever you like!

    For example as a wristband...

    If you add a hairclip on the felt it's also possible as a hairclip :) or add feathers and stuff for a fascinator!
