Belt Up… Things To Do With Old Belts

by on Sep 26, 2008

Holding up pants is honorable work but it’s possible that your belt
is actually aspiring towards some other job, like organising jewellery,
or being a handle on a storage box or even forming the seat of a sassy
little stool. Readymade Magazine has the know-how to put your belt on a
different career path.

Box Handles:

A wooden table that has foaled clothes and a hat on it.

Add flair to basic storage boxes—and make them easier to pull down from
your shelves—with pulls made from colorful belts. Using an X-acto
knife, cut two vertical slits through the front of each box (as tall as
the belt is wide), thread the cinchers through, and fasten in the
front. Glue the rest of the belt around the inside edges of the box so
it won’t interfere with the precious cargo within.
