Remember almost a month ago when I started this Vogue Cabled Belt? I finished the knitting part ages ago but hadn’t put it together until this weekend.

A Little Hot Glue Fixes Everything

I needed a purse handle to use as the buckle that I kept forgetting to pick up. I also picked up a little dowel rod, cut it to size, and hot glued it to the back of the purse handle.

And it warranted a little fashion show!

Party Belt in Action

Finishing this belt made me wish I would have pulled it together in time for New Years Eve like I was intending!

It even looks cute with a print.

And From the Back!

It was challenging to wrap the yarn around the purse handle and get it to stay put in the corners. I hot glued it into place and it was still moving around.

But I couldn’t be happier with the final result! It will be a really fun way to jazz up these old dresses I’ve had hanging in my closet for years.
