Making a Belt

Since I have plans to make a sheath for my rattan saex, I'm going to need to hang it from a belt. I've never actually had a red fighting belt, so I decided to make one. However, I'm on a budget and could neither buy a belt blank, nor did I have suitable leather to cut one from. Except, I did have a lot of shorter pieces of a good weight, so I cut a bunch of strips and sewed them together into a length long enough to make a belt!
