My nephew loves tools because it is being like daddy or Papa or even Handy Manny. HAHA He is three years old. So, for Christmas, I thought why not get some of those plastic tools and make him a tool belt?
I almost went to the fabric store with coupons in hand to buy some denim and some green corduroy but I stopped myself. I waited and stewed over it because I really wanted to get this project out of the way. Finally, we were able to get to some yard sales and the first one I found a LONG green corduroy skirt and a pair of jeans for 50 cents each.
I cut a long rectangle from the denim jeans and put a green corduroy border around the belt and also attached the top for the waist strap. Then, I cut out the jean pockets and glued them in place with fabric glue. I cut out a denim belt loop and glued that in place for a hammer and also included another pocket from the skirt and glued that in place.
One of these days, I will take step by step pics! This is a simple cheap project and it turned out so cute! er, I mean, manly! In addition, the skirt was so long that I had a lot of fabric left over for a skirt for myself!
