OMG. We are can’t get enough of this super easy-to-make flower belt! Follow the instructions below to make an accessory that’s totally unique! Email a photo of your belt to tellus@fashionplaytes.com!

What you’ll need:

  • Flower and leaf stencils (about 3 in. across)
  • 15 ft. of yarn or leather cord
  • Several sheets of colored craft foam
  • A pair of scissors
  • A hole punch
  • A handful of colorful beads!

 

How to make your awesome belt!

  1. 1. Take the flower or leaf stencil and trace a bunch of flowers/leaves with a pencil (or pen) on the different colored craft foam!
  2. 2. Carefully cut out the shapes.
  3. 3. Next, use your hole punch & make 2 holes - a finger-width away from each other - in the center of the flower (so it’ll be easy to weave the string or cord through without tearing the foam).
  4. 4. Cut (3) 5 ft. long cords or strings.
  5. 5. Next, carefully thread the cords - up through your first hole and back down through the second hole - in each shape! After you’re done threading, you can move the shapes wherever you want along the cords.
  6. 6. Want to make it extra fancy? Try braiding the string between each foam shape! Another option is to add more flowers with different knots/beads in between them to be ultra creative! To secure each end, tie several knots.
