Proportionally, my waist is quite small, but I'm generally a pretty large person, so a lot of the cutest belts out there are uncomfortably tight. Not just uncomfortable, but unflattering as well!<br /><br />I fold the belt in half, then - this is the scary part - cut it in half. I have a large selection of faux leather left over from my days as a handbag maker, and create a single extender sewn into the center back. I try to pick a color that coordinates with either the buckle or the band.<br /><br />I actually get more compliments on my belts altered this way than on the ones I leave alone!Shayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908734210458600158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-57646574082928237082010-10-07T16:46:46.179-04:002010-10-07T16:46:46.179-04:00You're so clever!
