By Erica Domesek

3. Tweed Belt (inspired by Chanel)—Make your own tweed and tailor it into a waist belt! It's raw and refined, what's better?



Materials Needed:
Burlap
Metallic Rope (M&J Trimming)
Needle and thread
Scissors



How To:
1. Cut 3" inch burlap strips x4 (measure & cut to waist size).
2. Cut metallic rope (6" inches long than burlap)
3. Braid burlap strips with one piece of metallic rope, do twice
4. Find center point of each braid. Lay braids on flat surface. Match up center points and wrap together with rope. Knot to secure.
5. Wrap ends of each braids with long piece of rope. Knot to secure. Knot and fray the ends for a tassel.
6. Cross braid, sewing a few stitches to create another "loop" effect.
