Got old belts just lying around, serving no purpose? This week, our 50+ roundup will give you plenty of ideas for repurposing them into useful, even stylish, handmade goods. We always try to limit our entries to projects with great tutorials. While there are many tutorials linked here, you will run into a couple of Etsy listings, and photo posts with no tutorial. That is because they were so cool that I couldn’t leave them out of the round-up. Use them as inspiration, and challenge yourself to derive the technique. Then you can share the process with us! Several of these are on my list to complete, beginning with the woven seat from belts! Enjoy, and as always, if you have a belt project we missed, send us the link so we can spread the word about your genius upcycle.

Love these ideas! And so many that I wouldn’t have thought of too. Great way to repurpose, and of course I love the former-belts-turned-bracelets! 😉
Awesome roundup! Original too… I never think about upcycling old belts. Thanks J! xo
Totally impressive! Using old belts to something new and beautiful that you could certainly use for either in fashion or as a furniture.
Such great and original ideas, cant wait to try some of them.
