<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today, I'm going to show you how to make an easy elastic belt. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><u>What you need:</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Enough 3" elastic to go around your waist</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Buckle</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Matching thread</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sewing Machine or Needle</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(I purchased my elastic & buckle from <a href="https://hancockfabrics.com/">Hancock Fabrics</a>.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To figure out how much elastic you're going to need, measure your waist where you want the belt to sit then you want to subtract the width of the buckle & add 1 inch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(For example: My waist was 35 inches & my buckle is 3 inches wide so I used 33 inches of elastic.</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I singed the ends of my elastic with a lighter to make sure it didn't shred any.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Loop your elastic through the buckle (like the picture below).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I pinned my elastic 1.5 inches down & then ran a stitch across it.</span></div>
