Today’s tutorial is super easy to do! If you have a few vintage belts but nowhere to display them, this is a chic and easy way to put your old belts to good use .
Depending on how big your vase is, find 2-3 belts in complimentary tones. I played with two options, cream and gold then basic browns. (Yes the belt on the right is vintage Hermes, which I used here just for photo purposes!)
Step one: I only wanted a hint of gold so I started with the metallic belt as the base. If the belt isn’t staying in place, use a bit of double-sided tape to secure it.
Step 2: Next I went with the wider neutral belt to cover the vase.
Step 3: Finish of with a textured belt in a similar tone.
Step 4: Move the belts around with your fingers until there are fewer empty spaces and things looks balanced.
Step 5: Add some flowers!!!
This is a really great way to recycle old belts and give them a new purpose, up cycling at it’s best! The more beat up the belt, the more rustic the vase will look! Play with textures, widths, colours, flowers, and vases to create new looks and add visual interest to your average flower arrangement.
As always, let me know if you try it and love it!
