to make a simple ribbon belt you'll need:
- ribbon (grosgrain works best for me, but experiment and find what you like)
- D-rings
- sewing machine/needle & thread
- optional: fray check or lighter
determine the length you want the belt
to be (I made Leo's 24" long), double it, and add 3/4". cut to size
and melt the ends of the ribbon if it's synthetic, or glue them if it's
natural fibers to keep them from fraying.
overlap the D-rings by 1/2" and sew across. with the other end, fold in half and overlap the end you just sewed by 1/4" and sew across really well.
sew from the end with the d-rings all the way down to the other
end. turn and sew across the folded edge, then turn again and sew back
up the other side to the d-ring end. turn again and sew across to where
you started from, back stitch to secure your stitches, and that's it!
