The belt is made from seat-belts of a scrapped vehicle. The buckle came from a 60's elastic belt. Because the buckle is representing a leaf, I chose very simple flowers & butterflies for the embroidery. The outcome - a truly recycled project!

Talk about recycling...I love this concept. And it looks great!!

Thank you Jasanne - very cheap to make, a little thread & no stabiliser at all, so can't be bad!

I love the idea of recycling things. Great job.

Yes, thank you Iris2006, the seat belts are easily obtained, buckles which allow you to adjust size & fit easily, more difficult.

I love your projects elenu, always wonder what you will come up next! this is really pretty, well done, flowers coming your way from a still sunny warm Germany - amazing a whole week without rain!
