Macramé belt By Stefan Hedman, www.steffe.se/makrame

You will need threads or yarn and a buckle of some kind, in this example, I've used two metal rings. You can also leave a bit of yarn in the beginning and the end, so you can tie the belt instead of locking it .

Prepare two thread bunches with four threads in each. Make macrame knots on the middle of buth of them.

Put one of the threads through both of the rings and fold the macramé knots you've made in half as in the picture above. Make a pair of macramé knots so its secured on the rings. Do the same thing with the other thread bunch.
