This rhinestone belt is studded, shiny and designed by you. Make the belt to fit any size or any style. Making a rhinestone belt allows you to personalize and decorate your own belt in whatever fashion you choose. Add a little "bling" to your wardrobe.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 1-1/2-inch belt with buckle
  • Rhinestones
  • Stud covers
  • Super glue
  1. Step 1

    Lay your belt out flat. Place pieces of paper over the belt and mark the belt's length and width. You use this later to create your design.

  2. Step 2

    Draw out your design on the pieces of paper. Creating your design before you begin allows you to change certain aspects or move specific rhinestones.

  3. Step 3

    Insert the rhinestones into their covers. Stud covers are the metal pieces that go over the back of rhinestones to make them look studded.

  4. Step 4

    Place the rhinestones onto the belt in the design of your choice. Adjust the design as needed before you permanently add the rhinestones.

  5. Step 5

    Place one dot of glue on the back of the rhinestones and attach them to the belt. If any glue squeezes out of the side of the rhinestones clean it quickly with warm water.

  6. Step 6

    Allow the glue to dry completely.

  7. Step 7

    Add rhinestones to the belt buckle. Place small stones around the belt buckle and metal belt buckle loop to decorate.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be careful not to get any super glue on your skin. If this does occur, wash the area immediately with warm water.
