Wedding DIY: Glitzy Rhinestone Belt

Things you need for this DIY:
❂ rhinestone appliqué
❂ chain
❂ jump rings
❂ pliers
❂ a needle and thread (I used silver but white or grey would work fine too)

Total time:
20 mins



The perfect amount of sparkle!



First sew the ends of the chain to both ends of the appliqué.



Wrap it a lot of times before tying it off to make sure it is really secure and can take some stress.



Then, cut the chain in half, make sure it is the right length and add the clasp and the jump rings. The more jump rings you add, the wider size range you will have (for before and after dinner).



It's perfect for a bridal sash but looks great with a LBD.
