DIY Leather Belt
March 11, 2011I've been so inspired by colorful skinny belts & this lovely belt from Emerson Made. Heck, who isn't inspired by everything on Emerson Made? I'm in love. It's all so classy & rad.
I love belts that have irregular enclosures, so I thought I'd make my own. I just experimented with a scrap of leather I found at Tandy Leather. I have another strip of leather I plan on using for another belt. I'll be posting the tutorial for this soon.
It took me about an hour & a half of trial & error to get the color just right & the holes the right size. The next belt I make will be much less time consuming as I've learned from my mistakes. I'm totally loving the color combo in this outfit. The green top reminds me of spring (btw, my open studio window is blowing in the most delicious spring breeze, I'm in heaven). The little pops of orange & red make everything so happy. Colors totally affect my mood.
What are your weekend plans? I'm going to work on some design stuff & hopefully get my organizing on. My closet is a complete disaster area, my studio pales in comparison.
