Uses For Belts

RE: Uses For Belts Post by Raintree (3) | (05/17/2005) Contact Old leather belts or even sturdy cloth belts can be woven in a cross hatching to replace broken seats or braking of wicker caining. Adds a new look. You can also make them look rustic ( if they do not already) and ad straps or decoration to little wooden chests, or trim a foot stool. RE: Uses For Belts Post by Suzanne S.

Of course you want to get to the ER, but this can keep someone from dying of blood loss on the way. RE: Uses For Belts Post By Jackie (Guest Post) (02/15/2005) I use the cloth belts to fasten around comforters. First I fold the comforter until it is 2' in width. Then I roll it into a small barrel shape. I fasten this with the belt. I can stack many of these side by side on a shelf, and they do not fall off or shift. It is easy, then, to grab the one you want by the "waist" and put it to use in a jiffy. RE: Uses For Belts Post by Suzanne S.

This way they stay together and where I put them. Just grab the loose end of the strap, and and carry it over your shoulder like a backpack.
