Try to make your own elastic belt. Readymade elastic belt price is from RM20-RM100(depends on brand). D.I.Y cost you less than RM10, FABULOUS!
What you need
1. Elastic band
2. Glue gun
3. Velcro tape
4. Decoration – faux pearls, ribbon, net
You can buy elastic band from sewing shop. The elastic band comes in different width. The wider the width the bigger your belt will be. Elastic band with 2.5 inches width cost me less than RM3. Faux pearls, beads, ribbon can be anything... depend on how many and how you wanna décor your elastic belt. (The more décor you use the more expensive it will be.)You may use felt as well as a base for your décor. For mine, I made a bow.
Cost: less than RM10
Approximate time: 15 minutes
Step 1: Measure your waist then add 2 more inches. Mine is 26 inches(don't get jealous) so add 2 more inches become 28 inches.
Step 2: Cut the elastic band based on the above measurement.
Step 3: Mark 1 inch from each end.
Step 4: Using glue, glue each end by folding 1 extra inch(at each end).
Step 5: Glue velco tape on each end. You must glue one facing down and the other one facing up because, it will overlap each other when you wear it.
Step 6: Start decorating your elastic belt. You can use ribbon, felt, beads, crystals, net, faux pearl, gems, stones – as you like.
Taaadddaaaaaa…. (you save few ringgit, by making yourself elastic belt)
