Braided belt 4 strand Step 1

Cut the strands of fabric 1.5 inches wide and 1.5 times my waist circumference.

Pull and stretch them to make them curl.

Sew the ends together.

Braided belt 4 strand Step 2

I will show the braiding technique with different colored fabrics so it’s easier to see

Think of the strands in slots A, B, C, and D.

Now, the strands will be moved from one slot to another in a repeat pattern.

Step 3: Braiding technique

First Move the strand in slot A over the strand in slot B. The A and B strands trade places.

Step 4

Move the strand in slot C over D strand. The C and D strands trade places.

Step 5

Now strand C goes over strand B. B and C strands trade places.

Repeat steps 1-3 until the braid is complete!

For further explanation see video below

Step 7 Sew the Ends

Now let’s finish the belt ends off so it’s ready to wear!

Sew across the ends of the belt a couple of times.

Step 8 Complete with Hardware

These are what you need next to complete the belt. D rings or the round ones.

Slip them on like this…

Fold the end of the belt over the rings and stitch down.

You can machine or hand stitch this step, it’s really up to you.

On the other end fold over a couple of times and stitch down by hand or machine. And you are done!!!

Step 9: Tieing the belt

Here is how to tie it…

Finished!

And here is how it looks around the waist.

I think I might try some other types of fabric next! Maybe denim or cotton cord…

Or make a 3 strand belt if you would like a narrower belt.
