I thought I would be a pirate for Halloween this year; we bought costumes last year 3 days after Halloween all for 80% off. I wanted to add more to the costume than what it comes with in the bag. I bought McCall’s Pattern 4952 that had pirates. The belt on the lady is what caught my attention.
I decided I would make this pirate belt out of Duct Tape. I had some red Duct Tape with dragons on it that I thought would work well. I used eyelets from scrapbooking for the holes instead of eyelets for fabric. The scrapbook eyelets seem to have worked well. I used a hammer & tool eyelet setter, I don’t have a silent setter & I like the noise when setting eyelets. I think the louder the hammer is, the more secure I feel the eyelet is.
After making the belt, I had left over tape, so I made dragon bows.
