DIY THE I.AM.GIA BELT IN 5 MINUTES

I've been seeing this type of industrial belt on Instagram and Pinterest for a couple weeks now. These industrial are super trendy and it started to grow on me, so I decided to DIY the belt from the brand I.Am.Gia. It's a super quick and easy belt to make, you should be able to finish the belt in 5 minutes, it is that easy! You can use the same tutorial for the off white belt! I used 3 cm wide nylon webbing and buckle. Feel free to go for other sizes, I already had these materials from previous projects!

YOU NEED
lighter
sewing machine
scissors
nylon webbing
buckle
pincet

HOW TO

Step one
Wrap the webbing around the smallest of your waist, which is above the belly button. Leave excess webbing and cut the desired length off.


Step 2
Hold one end with a pincet as shown then seal off the edge with a lichter, to prevent it from fraying. (if you use cotton webbing, I suggest fray check, hot glue or metal cover)

Step 3
Slide the webbing through 'edge' hole, and bring it down through the other hole.

Step 4
Secure the end with a straight stitch and backstitch 3 a 5 times. (Use needle & thread or fabric glue, if you dont have a sewing machine)

Step 5
Next, seal off the other end with a lighter.

Step 6
Slide the webbing through the right hole, then slide it through the other hole.

Step 7 (Optional)
Fold webbing edge 1 cm and secure it with a straight stitch, backstitch 3 a 5 times.

Congratulations you made your own belt!
