DIY Veggie Leather Tie Belt
Theresa, author of blog Orange Juice Etc. created a fun and simple to follow DIY tutorial to create a leather belt with a cute bow.
- Gather your materials:
- leather fabric in the color of your choice
- contrasting fabric for the bow
- matching thread
- scissors
- Find an existing belt that fits well to use for baseline measurements, and remember, you’ll need to add at least 4-5 inches of extra fabric to create the bow shape.
- Cut your leather fabric in the same size as your existing belt – with 4-5 inches of extra material at the end for the bow.
- Cut out the contrasting fabric (make it approximately 26 inches long) and wide enough so it can be folded over and sewn.
- Fold over the contrasting fabric and sew a seam down the long side and 1 of the ends.
- Turn the contrasting material right-side out.
- Pin the contrasting fabric and leather together and sew together closely for a secure stitch.
- Tie your bow!
The finished product is completely adorable! Add to a simple dress to elevate practically any look. Get creative! Use contrasting colors for your leather fabric to create a bold vibe. We have plenty of veggie leather fabrics to choose from.
