DIY BELT BUCKLE

 

 

 

Ever wanted to create your own belt buckle? Take a look at this awesome belt buckle craft below!

Materials:

Belt buckles – Etsy (search for “belt buckle blank”)

• Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
• Mod Podge Gloss
• Scraps of scrapbook paper
• Embellishments – stickers, brads, rhinestones, glitter . . . whatever you have in your stash. The cool flowers are Maya Road Resin Blossoms in
• Vellum
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Tape
• STEPS:

First, use a piece of vellum (or another scrap of paper) as a template – trace the inside of the belt buckle with your pencil. I did a rubbing of the edge and it worked well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tape the template on your paper and cut it out (with scissors or a craft knife). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mod Podge the paper into the belt buckle blank and let it dry for about 15 – 20 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add embellishments and then add Dimensional Magic. Use THREE layers. Do one layer and allow it to dry in a warm place (to prevent cracking). Then a second layer and allow it to dry again. THEN a third layer and add the scrapbooking brad embellishments so that they would be “dimensional” on the top of the Dimensional Magic.
