      Aww, thanks, Elizabeth! I never want projects to look like they don't go without challenges. Everyone runs into problems. The fun part is finding solutions! LOL Glad you like it! :)

    A very neat project! I saw someone weave belts into a chair seat years ago. The chair had either a cane or rush seat, and we know, with time, they get a big hole in it them and then they’re no good. So, the person used belts to replace the old seat. I’ve always said I was going to find an old chair and do that, because I thought it was so cool and so is your project. 😊👍🏻

      Funny you mention that, Sharon! After I completed my project, I started doing some searched on belt projects and saw those belt weaved chairs! I thought that was such a great idea! Thanks for watching.

    I loved it, but would want it to be more cost-effective. The thrift stores around my house are charging $3.99 plus for one belt. I don't know if all the materials I'd have to get would be better than buying something.

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, you're talking to a vegetarian here. I'm not vegan because yes, I will touch leather. However, these are leather belts that already exists. Why not reuse them into something useful? I wouldn't promote going to buy brand new leather, which perpetuates animal harm. But belts that are already manufactured and discarded, there's nothing wrong with using them.

    • @HM-mi8co
      @HM-mi8co 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thrift Diving here is the thing about using leather, if you buy it and using it and posting about it you're incurring this cruel industry, its basically a cycle and you have the option to use fake leather instead of a dead animal skin.

    • @HM-mi8co
