With all the 90's fever going around, I've been on the hunt for one of these Versace Medusa chain waist belts ever since i watched an old school TLC video and spotted one of the dancers rocking it. After some serious googling i found that unsurprisingly its waaaaaay out f my usual £2 belt budget sooooo....here i am making one.
This technique can be used with ANY chain or necklace as long as your second chain is long enough to fasten it. YOU WILL NEED:
Two necklaces: the first will be the frontal decorative chain so make sure you choose something with an interesting design and a pendant that isn't too long. The second chain is just for attaching it around you so this can be any plain old chain that you don't use any more. Mine is a plastic gold chain that i brought from the bargain bin in a junk shop on Albert road in Portsmouth for 20p. Again this chain will be at the back so it doesn't have to be your best piece of jewellery.
Firstly, using the clasp from the first necklace i link the two necklaces.
Then using the clasp from the second necklace i attach it around me making it as tight/loose as i would like for it to fit
Any extra chain that is too long can be cut short or removed with pliers.
And voila!
Like i said you can use any two necklaces to make this belt and really get inventive. Try mixing silver and gold chains or using necklaces with interesting beads or pendants, really make it your own!
