Total Cost: $9
Total Time: 54 minutes (what a perfect mid-morning break from the ol' calculator and chemistry!)
-rope
-needle and thread
-tape(Not pictured as I realized its importance while in the thick of crafting this belt)
-scissors
-ribbon (I used brown velvet)
Step1: Measure ribbon and rope around your waist (I did double the amount of rope because I was halving it), then, Cut your rope into four equal segments
Step 2:Tie knot following these instructions (I used the knot on the right hand side and used four strands instead of two)
Step 5:Wrap the taped part in velvet and stitch in back
Step 6:Trim rope ends and wrap in tape tightly to prevent unraveling (don't worry about exposure, since they're behind the ribbon they'll be hidden from view when wearing…you
can always double side the ribbon and stitch if you really don't like the 'rough' quality the tape implies…this is a sailor belt though so…you know…the sea is a harsh mistress, not for the faint of heart, or tape fearers…)

Step7: Wrap around waist, tie in a cute little bow in the back and take in that fresh salt air!
