Something really simple for you today. A boy’s belt, which really is just a belt and a girl can wear it just the same, this one was just happened to be made for my boy. Cause if you are like me you like belts but you choke a little when you see the price at some places. (20 bucks for a belt? what?) So let’s just make one, for a few bucks.
You will need some trim, I found this (and a million other styles) in the by-the-yard trim section at Joanns, I got a yard even though I could have used much less. You will also need 2 “D” rings. I found them near the snaps and buckles.
Then pull one end through both “D” rings.
Fold the edge under and then fold that flap down.
Then sew it in place. I sew a square and then an X through the square so it is nice and secure.
Then you weave the other end through the “D” rings so the belt forms a nice loop. Decide the length you want the belt and then trim and fold the raw edge and then sew in place.
That’s it a simple belt that is ready to wear.
A simple and classic look, and so easily adjustable to any size. (Pants are here)

Yep, as simple as it is…it's one of my favorites for my boys. Carsten is now at the age (3 1/2) that elastic waist is out and handmade belts from momma keep those pants on his skinny self. Again, I am pro boy posts. 🙂
