Trimming the end of the belt.Original accessories will stand you out from the crowd. I figured out how to make this original belt decorated with braided bark. It is very easy to make, especially if you know how to braid 3 strands.

Total Time: 1 Hour + time for bark and varnish to dry

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. The bark of the fresh cut walnut peels off very easily. Using a knife cut the bark along the branch and peel off the bark.
  2. Cut the bark into three strips (strands) 0.4'' wide. To make it easier to braid, it is better to leave the strands connected at one end.
  3. stripping the bark from a branch.
     
  4. Start braiding 3 strands of bark: left hand to the middle, right hand to the middle and repeat it. You need to braid a cord from the bark with a length equal to the waist girth + 2-3 inches. When a bark strand is finished, cut it so that the end is under the other stand in the braided cord. Place the beginning of another strip under the end of the previous strand and continue to braid gently.
  5. Braiding the bark together.
