Southern Scraps

I love accessories! They can make or break an outfit sometimes, and a key accessory is the belt. Here are five ways to make one: Elastic flower belt from Sugar Bee Ruffle belt by Amy Cornwell Rose belt by Emily Sparks Grosgrain belt from Ruffles and Stuff or make a flower attachment for a ready made belt No sew by Less than Perfect Life What do you think? Are you ready to make a belt? If you pin these, please pin directly from the source, not here. That's the proper thing to do.

I'm sure you've seen the flower belts and sashes all over the internet- JCrew and Ann Taylor Loft have their versions. Some other crafty folks have their versions: I Am Momma- Hear me Roar , RufflesandStuff , and ohsohappytogether . Here is my version: I made it to go with my Easter skirt and you can see me wearing it here . There are a total of eight flowers (one is the center of another.) I arranged them all on top of a piece of felt and then glued them down when I was happy with the arrangement. I cut the excess felt away. I made a sleeve from felt and glued the flowers on top of that. It was getting late when I finished this and I completed this in a hurry so I could wear it Easter. I need to go back and let out the hem allowance on the sleeve so the ribbon will lay flatter. The ribbon wants to roll a bit as it is now. I'm also thinking of making a sash with a velcro closure like the one at ohsohappytogether because it's really hard for me to tie...
