neon bow belt

so i spotted this jcrew patent skinny neon bow belt and have been waiting for it to go on sale since i couldnt part with $45 for it.  i had been looking for cheaper alternatives since i dont think the neon fad will last more than a couple seasons.  couldnt find anything i liked.  so when i stumbled upon these neon kids belts at target i knew there was diy waiting!  i basically bought 2 sets of belts.  each were $7.99.  the L fit but i had to use the last few holes.  thats why i bought another set so i could create the bow.

then i got to cutting.  i basically tookone of the belts, cut the holes off then cut off a segment to use for the bow.

next i slid the cut piece into the belt loop and centered it.

i took a hot glue gun and put a bit of glue under the belt loop and folded the ends of the cut piece under and into the belt look

tada!
