DIY anthropologie inspired leather belt (so easy to make AND would make a great gift!)Ever since we arrived on Saipan, I’ve been plotting to have family pictures taken on the beach. However, when I finally put together that our fall travels would require our pictures to be taken at the end of October, I had approximately one week left to piece together our outfits.

And the shopping options in Saipan are… well, limited doesn’t quite describe it. As I was ‘shopping our closets,’ I found outfits for all four of us (a Christmas miracle). However, the dress I was hoping to wear needed a neutral-possibly-metallic belt. And I didn’t have anything that would work.

how to make an anthropologie inspired leather beltTo make, cut out a rectangle of leather that is 2” tall and a little narrower than the front of your dress (mine ended up being 14”). Round the edges and punch a pattern of holes in the center. Also cut two long strips of leather for your ties (mine were each 35” long, but you could get away with shorter, depending on how long your want your ‘tails’ to be).

    1. Thanks Stacey! The belt was seriously so easy to put together. 😉
      And since the shopping here is, well, non-existent, it’s a good thing we have lots of blue/natural colors in our wardrobes- haha! 🙂

    1. Anneliese, you made my day! Thanks friend! And I have to say, our photographer made us look cuter than we really are (love it!)- haha!
