No, this post isn’t about being aggressive, it’s about punching holes in belts. At the start of this year (the actual year, not the school year) I joined Weight Watchers and lost 15 pounds (although I gained a ‘smidge’ back this summer, oops!), which made a big difference on my 5-foot frame.
I ruined a few belts by trying to punch the holes with a nail and hammer, or scissors, or other random household items that just left a jagged-looking hole. Then I went to the local hardware store and found a device specifically made for punching holes in leather! Woo hoo!
The other problem I had to solve was what to do with that extra part of the belt that hangs off to the side…
It’s basically a more sturdy version of double-sided tape that can be used on belts, bra straps, wrap dresses, etc. I’ve even used them around the house to keep curtains and other fabrics in place! Part of my house-hold arsenal of items to help make do with what you have!
