You\u2019ve acknowledged, at least subconsciously, that you won\u2019t wear them again, but don\u2019t want them to be destined for the trash, so they\u2019ve just stayed there.<\/p>\n<p>Now\u2019s the time to <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/2014\/08\/using-vintage-advantage-turning-grandmas-closet-extra-cash-can-use\/\">clean out that closet<\/a> and put your old belts to good use. If you can\u2019t sell them second-hand for someone else to use (maybe they\u2019re broken?), here are a few ways to give them new life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"963\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19175\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo1.jpg\" alt=\"towel holder made from old belts\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo1-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Leather Towel Holder<\/h3>\n<p>You will need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 belt<\/li>\n<li>1 metal ring<\/li>\n<li>1 screw<\/li>\n<li>Screwdriver or drill with a screwdriver bit<\/li>\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<li>Drywall anchor (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This DIY project is sleek and original, but it\u2019s also super easy! Start by folding your belt around a metal loop (if you don\u2019t have anything similar to this shape to reuse from your home, you can buy one at a craft store). Hold it up in the space you want it to hang and decide how big you\u2019d like it to be. You may also want to drape a hand towel through the loop so you can really envision the finished project.<\/p>\n<p>Next, trim your belt to the size you\u2019ve decided will look best. Scissors should do the trick. Feel free to embellish in any way that suits you! Try cutting the top of the belt at a dramatic angle or snipping it into a V shape. It\u2019s your project, after all\u2014customize it to your tastes!<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019ve got everything cut properly, you\u2019ll have to decide where to put the screw that will hang it. To make the hanging process easier, putting a hole through both layers of leather is necessary. A leather punch is the ideal tool here, but hammering a nail through (with scrap wood behind it) to create the holes will do just fine. Or, if the placement is to your liking, you may be able to reuse the belt\u2019s existing holes!<\/p>\n<p>A stud-finder will help you locate a solid place to hang it, but don\u2019t forget that drywall anchors are an option, too! This one extra step will allow you to affix wall hangings anywhere you see fit, even if there\u2019s no stud. So with a screw and a flourish, your new towel holder will be done!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"963\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19176\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo2.jpg\" alt=\"leather drawer pulls\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo2-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Drawer Pulls<\/h3>\n<p>You will need<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 leather belt<\/li>\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<li>1 screw and coordinating nut for each pull<\/li>\n<li>Leather punch or hammer and nail<\/li>\n<li>Screwdriver or drill with a screwdriver bit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This project is especially perfect for the thin belts that are often popular in women\u2019s fashion, and it\u2019s a quick and easy way to update older furniture. If you can breathe new life into an old table or cabinet, that\u2019s one less thing heading toward the landfill! We start this project with the same basic idea as the towel holder: just creating a loop of the right size. Again, hold it up to the space you\u2019re trying to fill and decide what looks right to you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19177\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo3.jpg\" alt=\"materials needed for drawer pulls\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trim it down with scissors, again, and punch holes in the leather just as before. Use this first loop you\u2019ve created as a template for any additional pieces you need. When you have all of the leather pieces ready, instead of drilling them straight into the drawer, you\u2019re going to use the holes that are present in the drawer from the previous hardware or fill the old ones and move the location of pulls by pre-drilling new holes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"923\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19178\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo4.jpg\" alt=\"finished drawer pulls\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo4-208x300.jpg 208w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thread both layers of the belt through a screw then screw this into the drawer\u2019s hole and secure it on the inside of the drawer with a nut.

Being able to roll up your bedding and loop it through the bottom of your backpack so you aren\u2019t wasting space inside it is essential. A carrier like this could also attach to a bike basket for those who travel on two wheels, but appreciate knowing they\u2019re ready for spontaneous picnicking, too. Here\u2019s how to make this versatile caddy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19181\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo6.jpg\" alt=\"materials for caddy project\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo6.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo6-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Begin by adjusting your two belts to fit snugly around the blanket you\u2019re making it for. You may need to add an extra hole to one or both, so use your leather punch or our hammer and nail trick for this part. While you\u2019re at it, add one more hole in each belt where you\u2019d like the strap to be and two in the strap (if necessary) to match.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19182\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo7.jpg\" alt=\"old belt with new hole for caddy project\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo7.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Photo7-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then it\u2019s as simple as threading a washer onto a screw and winding it through the holes you\u2019ve created to bring the belt and strap together. The washer will prevent the leather from tearing or stretching around the screw head with lots of use. Fasten the screw in the back with a nut and do the same for the other side! Simple as that, your carrier is ready to go! Just be careful to unbuckle the belts to remove the blanket rather than pulling it\u2014the screw could get stuck in the fabric.<\/p>\n<p>Although a belt is a seemingly insignificant cast-off, it is surprisingly useful with a little imagination and time.
