Correcting Belt Hole Spacing

[superpacker]

Is there Any way I can fix this after the fact? I made a belt and wanted holes to be about .6" or .75" apart. Long story, but I miss measured, and as you can see, they are 1" apart, and a hair beyond. Maybe like and 1/16". I know one inch is pretty standard, but I like sub one inch as I feel it offers a more customized fit. It also drives me crazy to know that they aren't even 1" but actually a little more. I also know that using teardrop holes doesn't help things as the holes are longer. Other than leaving it as is, I'm considering trying to squeeze a second teardrop hole in between. Would that look too cluttered? Any chance of a belt hole busting for being too close to another hole? I've also thought of sticking a round hole in between the teardrops. Would that look weird? Any thoughts?

I'd say leave it as is, mostly due to your comments, but mine would be much the same.

I think if you start adding more holes it won’t look right.  I usually space belt holes 1” apart.

All of my belts vary, so it seems there is no standard. By the looks of what you've done, I'd say these look just fine.

You really have about 2 good options:

Leave it as it is, . . .

Trash it and start over, . . . 

You already figured out what happens if you start punching more holes in there, . . . unless of course you add enough to make it look like you are decorating the belt with extra holes every 1/2 inch or so.

May God bless,
