Boy’s Belt Holder

I showed a glimpse of this holder in my last post but  after I saw the photos I felt like it needed to be “kicked up a notch”.

Before

and BAM!!!   After

I was thinking in my head I wanted to add some cute  stars but I didn’t have any in the craftroom.  I even tried the closest free store to me {my mom’s craftroom}.   he he he   Keeping this a totally free-to-me project, I had to use what I already had.  

Here’s how this project began:

Start with a rescued plaque from the attic (where there are hundreds)

Remove the any metal, lightly sand, prime, and spray paint a glossy white. 

While the paint is drying,  here’s the supplies used.

Once the paint was dried,  super-glue the clothes pins in place using Gorilla Super-Glue.  This glue rocks!!! You don’t have to cut the tip off and it doesn’t turn to a hard rock after one use…. like the other super-glues. 

Cut a strip of ribbon the width of the plaque.  Be sure to apply a small touch of Fray Check to the ends to keep  from raveling.   Add some vinyl lettering to the top. 

To add the BAM factor:

Use more super-glue to apply little wooden squares that have been painted blue and add vinyl numbers!!!
