While I was at Joann last week, I noticed this beautiful trim that you can purchase by the yard. It was a bit pricey, but with a 40% off coupon, it ended up being around $3.00/yard.
As you can imagine, sewing some pretty trim onto ribbon to make a belt is extremely easy, and I just love my new belt!
What You Will Need:
-pretty trim
-ribbon
-fray check
Treat ends of ribbon with fray check.
Find middle of trim and ribbon. 
Pin the ribbon and trim together, every 3 inches (or use the pattern of the trim as a guide to how often you will sew it.
Sew the width where the pins are.
The front will look like this now:
And the back like this:
Very quick project, with beautiful results! 
You could do this with a variety of trims and laces.

Christie, that is super cute! I didn't know there was trim like that - wow, they did all the work for us! Thanks for a wonderful tute.

I've seen this trim at JoAnn's and was trying to think of some cute ways to use it--the belt is adorable!! You are so creative!
By the way, did you make the shirt you're wearing in the pic? I love the ruffles!
Cute idea!! Don't know if I'm brave enough to rock a belt like that, I need some serious style help :)
Thanks for this Belt Celebration. I've been needing belts and now I've got lots of ideas. LOVE this belt. I'm going shopping for trim. I'm thinking bright pink pom poms would make a sweet belt (hee hee).
How Cute! Thanks for helping me step out of the box this week. I've never made a belt before but I was so inspired I ended up making 2 belt tutorials this week. I can't wait to see the rest of your creations!
Great idea, Christie. I never thought of using trim like that for a belt. Brilliant!
they have this same trim at hobby lobby too - not sure if it's any cheaper. they also have it in light pink!
