I have been asked by a number of people, "Where do you get the boy's belts ?". This may come as a shock , I made them. Shocker.
They are some of my old belts, and some I find at thrift stores.
Want to make some for your munchkins?
Just find a LEATHER belt, that is considerably bigger than the size you will need. You need leather so that when you cut it, it will not fray.
Take the measurement of the recipients waist and add 4-5". You will simply cut off the excess of the belt. I have found my sewing scissors work well to cut through the belt. I kind of cringe every time I do. But, it does really work well.
Use the end that you just cut off (the end with the holes) as a template. Lay it on top of the freshly cut end and mark where your new set of holes will be. I just used a drill with a 1/4" bit.
Then stand back and admire your work...
"Hey Wyatt show me your belts"...
That works too...

No way. That was too easy. You can totally bet I am going to do this when Vince is a bit bigger.
