Double Duty DIY

Today's post is a little DIY inspiration, and absolutely anyone can do it. It is also really great as a little craft project for little girls! You only need three things and your all set to make your own belt, that also doubles as a necklace!
First, start with 4 yards of rope. You can choose any style you want. I found this one at JoAnn fabrics, but there are so many to choose from!

Next, your going to need some tassels, and super glue.

Next step is to untwist the bottoms of each ends of the rope. Untwist about as long as the string at the top of the tassels. Place the string on the tassels in between them and twist the rope back together also twisting the string into them. Hold in place and use the super glue to mend them together and also in between the two rope pieces. And, anywhere you feel needs a little extra hold!

Wrap the finished product around your neck as many times as you want for your desired look as a layered necklace.

Same thing goes for the belt. I got it to wrap around me four times and then tied it in a bow (you can also just knot it without a bow) and let the tassels hang.

Viola!

Again, you can choose any type of rope, and you can also switch up what you put on the ends, like jewels. Be creative!
