Wedding season is upon us! My refrigerator is decorated with save the dates and wedding invitations. With my first wedding anniversary quickly approaching, I still remember all the planning involved. Two of the DIY accessories I made for myself for my big day were my birdcage veil and my garter belt. Here’s a little rundown on how you can make your own garter belt.
What you’ll need:
- Stretchy lace ribbon
- Rhinestone applique
- Needle and thread
- Rhinestones/pearls
- Alene’s Flexible Stretchable Fabric Glue
Step 1:
Measure you leg and cut the lace exactly to the size of your thigh. You want it somewhat fitted so it stays on your leg.
Step 2:
With thread and needle, sew on the applique in the center point of the lace. Stitch and/or glue on rhinestones and pearls.
Step 3:
Turn the lace band inside out and sew raw edges together.
Enjoy and happy wedding planning!
P.S. Your new garter can also be used as a headband! EEK!! Double win!
