Last year I wrote a tutorial on how to make a bow belt. Since then, I've emitted a little yelp of excitement each time I've seen that someone somewhere across the globe has actually followed the tutorial and made their own. It's high time I showcase some of the lovely belts that other people have made. Here are a few of them...
Lauren's gingham version looks awesome cut on the bias
Christine's red belt looks stunning teamed with the matching pleats of her dress
Lizzy's blue version adds a nice touch of definition to this full skirted vintage dress
Refugee Crafter kept her bow nice and square for a more modern look
If you've made a bow belt, I'd love to see it! Do leave a link below or email me a photo. Maybe I'll have enough to do another post at some point...

All of those outfits are amazing! I have to say though, that last one is so beautiful with the belt!
ReplyDeleteWhat great belts! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I'll have to try making one of my own ASAP.
ReplyDeleteWow, how cool to see that people have been putting your tutorial to such beautiful use! I'd love to try it myself, so I'll be sure to let you know when I do ;o)
ReplyDeleteI make a copy of your belt for a vintage revamp project of mine, your tutorial is brilliant :)

It was so fun to see all those belts and I bookmarked the tutorial to make my own soon.

oh, I must have missed that!! I think I will have to make several for myself!! Thanks for the how-to! :)
ReplyDeleteHooray!!! You're taking over the world with these, Tilly! :D I just was thinking the other day I need to finish one I cut out in some white linen, but the pieces have mysteriously vanished. Augh! I did just shoot you an email with pictures of the one I did make (um... two emails actually. Sorry for the onslaught!). ;) I need to make more though, because life is so much better with bow belts! ;)
ReplyDeleteyesss i love my bow belt! :) thanks for linking me, you're a doll! the other belts are lovely as well - esp that corduroy one, hmmm i think there might be more corduroy in my future...
ReplyDeletethey all look so lovely!! I think I will have to give this tutorial ago, I've got the perfect dress that is very much in need of a bow belt.
ReplyDeleteI "pinned" this post. Love the blue skirt!
ReplyDeleteBow belts are great!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the post, one more time, thanks for the tutorial, I am gonna do more belts!
