Make an old sweater new again!

I love this old drapey sweater that I have, but there was no way to keep it closed to keep my warm! I thought for a long time about adding a button, but that would mean bothering with a buttonhole. I also thought about using some unusual closures like frogs or buckles. Then I saw this awesome sweater in a high end fashion shop and knew I had my answer.

I decided to cut up some old belts and use not just the buckles, but the straps as well!
