    Wow! So creative! I love the tray and the webbed chair. Great ideas:>)

      I know so many great ideas I could have gone on and on. The chair reminds me of what Kitty Bartholomew did with old men’s ties once. Do you remember that?

    Great idea! I really like the vase.

    My MIL did something pretty smart recently. She has a favorite purse with perfect pockets, perfect size, all that… The strap had worn out so she went and bought the right leather belt and had the shoe repair man replace the purse strap with a belt. It looks great!

      Love that! That was sooo smart!

    I love how so many old things can now be repurposed…I never wear belts, so I don’t have any, but my husband has a couple of old belts that I might have to “steal” and do something with. Thanks for the ideas!

    Thanks for sharing – Lot of fun ideas. I have seen cute cuff bracelets made from belts before.
    I cleaned the majority of my belts out a while ago – age tends to change our wardrobe. 🙂
    Hope you are having a great week.

      Yes, I think that tray is quite amazing and unique. Hope all is well.

    We use old belts in our garden. Here in Texas birds hit our garden hard. Birds are afraid of snakes. We lay out a few old belts in the garden in a manner to look like a snake. Really does work to keep the birds out of our tomatoes etc.

      That is such a great idea! I’m going to give that a try next year. I wonder if it would keep the birds out of my berry bushes?

    I love the tray and the chair, but they’re all fabulous ideas!

      That tray is just amazing! I almost like it as much as the one I found where you use yardsticks on the tray part.

    I’ve been hanging on to some old belts from my dad for over two years now, just waiting to find the inspiration to do something with them. I can’t believe I’ve finally found my inspirations! Thank you! 🙂

      Hi Stephanie,

      Yay! So glad you find some ideas that you can use!

    These are great! Too bad I just gave away all my belts to the charity store! I was wondering what to do with them when I *ahem* outgrow them.
