Leopard Belts, Chains, Accessories DIY

Notes
* I used a vintage plastic buckle that I've had for years, just lying around. I think it originally came attached to a fabric belt that matched a vintage dress.
* You can purchase belt buckles like this at your local fabric store ...and actually loving the last two in the top row {follow link}. I may have to go grab that octagon one. It would have looked awesome with this leopard fabric {which I found as a remnant a while ago at JoAnn's -my local fabric shop}
* You can also use a man's tie for the second belt.
* These are both really simple DIYs. Less than 30mins each.
* Apologies for some dark/grainy shots. This is what happens when I wait until the end of Sunday to begin my DIY ...instead of in the daylight.

Have Fun!

Would you try this DIY?

Not my taste at all (I despise pretty much everything with an animal print aside from the actual animals themselves), but I love seeing these DIY posts. They're very cool. Keep up the good work!

I love these DIY posts. I wouldn't do this particular one, though.

I like the chain one. But I don't think animal print suits me.

I love the idea! And the necklace is a cute concept and could work well with ribbon! Good work!

I am not a fan of animal print in general, not even a splash of it with an outfit. Cool idea though!

Knowing me, I'd screw it up. I can't do anything right.

I'm a fan! I love leopard print.
However, not sure i'd be up for all the diy. It's a great idea, but the procrastinator in me keeps me back..

I would consider it. Maybe even experiment with some more prints and fabrics if I have the time.

I think that for the most part animal print items just look tacky, especially zebra, leopard and tiger print stuff.
However, even though I say that, I do like the belt in the last picture. :)
