How Do You Make A Bellydance Belt?
This is one method for making a belly dance belt. This method uses an old t-shirt as the base. • Cut the top part of the t-shirt off under the arm holes until you are left with a “tube” of fabric • Put the fabric tube on a mini-skirt, this will serve as the mold of the belt, and wear it in as you would the finished product. • Get a friend to wrap the fabric tube (while on you) in duct tape. The purpose of this is to make a “pattern” of your exact body so that your belt will fit perfectly. The fabric is used so that the duct tape will not stick to you or your regular clothes. • After you are wrapped (the tape needs to cover the entire t-shirt), get your friend to draw an outline of points on the duct tape of where you want the top, bottom, sides, etc of the belt to be. • Get your friend to slide a pair of scissors under the duct tape/fabric and make one cut up each side (at the hip) to remove your “pattern” from your body. Do this carefully. • You now have a perfect pattern of the front
