< DIY > Rhinestone Belt

After my wedding, I had so many extra Swarovski embellishments that I was eager to get crafty and add some extra sparkle on pillows, blouses, and of course, belts. A few weeks ago, determined and in search for the perfect rhinestone embellished belt to glam up this LBD Alice & Olivia Tory Peplum dress, I headed out in search of exactly what I had in mind. I checked online, I checked in stores, and of course... nothing.  So, I decided to get a bit crafty and create my own:

What you will need:
  1. An old belt or sturdy ribbon {If ribbon: be ready to add clasps or hooks to finish the product}
  2. Few strips of swarovski crystal embellishments, available at your local bead store.
  3. Super glue/Fabric glue.
  4. Fabulous dress or skirt to add it too {Probably some hot shoes to go with it}
    Step 1:
    {Supplies}
    Step 2:
    {Test your placement of the rhinestones before gluing}
    Step 3:
    {After gluing, secure with clips till morning}
    And voila! It is so simple and easy and it really adds the extra umph to your outfit that you may have needed without adding mounds of accessories.
