Hi folks. Just joined, loving the place so far. I've been making these . some with ribbons at the top, some with a ring. Hope it helps. I just cut straps the same size as my belts 1.5" . for the ribbon ones i do 13" long, loops i do 15" . Can upload a pic of the loop type if you need it.
But yeah, i decorate the borders, in between the bells. Bells are 1"
