Boys (or girls) Belts

I got this idea from iammommahearmeroar.net... she's chalk full of amazing ideas :) But I wanted my own spin on it.. so here's what I did:

I bought this belt material at walmart.. for 1.19 (and it makes 2-3 belts!)

I measured Killian's waist, and added more length so I could wrap it around a little (see the picture)

Using fabric paint, I painted on a train....

Then I sewed on buttons as wheels
Using a needle and embroidery floss.. it was very simple 


I added a buckle- This I found at walmart/Jo Anne's for another 1.00 

Finally, I sewed on velcro (sew on to the same side as the painting...

Lastly, I added his name to the front.. I debated about this for a while... but it's what he wanted so I went with it- knowing that his shirts would hide it anyways..

And here's the final result:


VERY Simple.. but also very personal... Killian's beyond excited to wear it . :)
