How Do You Make A Sword Belt?
If you’re making a pirate or knight costume, one of the essential fixtures of the outfit is the sword, whether it’s a cutlass or a broadsword. These weapons can add another touch of realism to the outfit. To properly wear the sword, you need to have a sword belt. A sword belt is easy to make out of common materials and can be altered to carry more ordinary items. Use the tape measure to measure the length from the top of your shoulder near the inside of your neck on your dominant side to your opposite hip. Draw the rough shape of it on the graph paper using the length you recorded as the main length. At this length, trace out a curve using the saucer or plate and continue drawing until the lines reach to the spot just below your collarbone. Draw a tapered end for the end hanging over your chest. This is going to be the back piece of the sword belt. Place the graph paper on top of the leather and cut this curved shape. Cut out another straight piece of leather approximately 2 feet long.
