Tbh you guys may have hit your boredom threshold for seeing pictures of the belts i make ages ago but i wanted to share this one (i cant promise it will be the last lol) i was commissioned to make this, its a custom three coloured belt that is actually reversible to have a slightly different pattern on each side, whats black on one side is green on the other and vise versa...

when i first started doing them a plain one would take me about 10 hours but ive got it down to about 6/7 now however belts with more than one colour take a bit longer, planning where the colours will go to make the pattern makes it more tricky i started this one 3 times before i was happy so these are still around the 8/9 hour mark and unlike the first one i ever made thats not all in one go the fingers just cant take it. My personal preference is to line up a couple of good films and just do it whilst watching them.

Now this is done i have one more commissioned belt to do then im going to make a prototype for a replica of the chain suit belt, i have found a gold curb chain, although its a little thin it will be ok for the first one but i worked out i needed 12 metres of chain to do one macrame belt....should be interesting

Because of the great quality it would add to any ETA's show David so what your doing is fantastic , just out of interest how much do you charge for the belts ?

i've considered making a jumpsuit but theres a big gap in what i am capable of and what i would need to do to make one, studding i think i could do but not the actual tailoring.

as for prices paul it varies depending on what you want...a single colour/ two or three, chains, conchos, also size kids sizes or above average waist sizes would effect it and sometimes specific colours are more expensive than others....all the cord i use is proper macrame cord imported from Michigan in the US unlike many other belt makers over here who use cheaper inferior materials
