How To Make Purse Handles From Belts
In order to turn a belt into a handle for your purse you need to start with the right kind of a belt. I’ve found that metals ones work best or are the easiest to change from a belt into a purse handle. They are by no means the only type of belt that works for this project. I’ve found thin leather ones, beaded ones and
other decorative belts that lend themselves well to being turned into purse handles, the main requirement is that you like the looks of the belt, the size of the belt, think it would fit well with the purse you will be adding it to and there is some way of attaching the belt to the purse.
You will need a pair of pliers to remove the belt’s buckle. As you can see from the picture to the right, once the buckle has been removed a loop has been left and another loop is found on the opposite end that allowed the buckle to fasten.
This is one of the main reasons I like metal belts above most other belts, just a quick removal of the buckle and you’re ready to sew the belt to each side of your purse thus turning it into a handle for your purse.
