1
Fold one candy wrapper in half.

Unwrap the candy wrapper and fold both sides in to meet the crease you just made in the middle.

Fold the wrapper in half (width wise). Fold the ends so they meet in the middle. You should now have a "V" shape formed wrapper.

4
Make a few of these "V" shaped wrappers by following the steps listed above.

Attach the two feet of the "V" through the holes in a different "V". Continue to do this and you will start to form a pattern that looks like the one shown in the picture on this article.

6
Make a strip long enough for your belt. (I suggested 150 candy wrappers, but it may take more or less depending on the length you desire).

Attach the jewelry clasp and 1 jump ring on one side of the belt. Attach the remaining 2 jump rings on the other end.

Tips & Warnings
Starburst candy wrappers make the most colorful belts, but any type of candy wrapper similar to this can be used.
You can use fewer candy wrappers and make a bracelet or necklace.
