Instructions

With a strand of yarn, measure comfortably around your waist and add 32 inches. Cut.


Cut two lengths of wire or fishing line the same length as the yarn.

 

Knot the jewelry wire or fishing line at one end, and completely fill it with the seed beads, closing the other end with a knot

 

Repeat with other strand of wire or fishing line (you can use more than 2 strands for a more sparkly look)

 

Cut 10 lengths of the Suede yarn (add more for a fuller belt)

 

Knot on the side and enjoy!

Lion Brand is a family-owned and operated business and a beloved American brand since 1878. Today, the business is run by four members of the fourth generation of Blumenthals. It is their passion for yarn, reflected by all Lion Brand associates, that is the secret to Lion Brand’s success.
