Step 7The Belt
The belt was actually a belt-like sleeve slipped over a cheap vinyl belt (with the buckle in the back). To make the sleeve, I wrapped a length of padding from the sleeping bag in some yellow material. Then, I sewed the "T" pattern for the buckle, and some "X's" to give the belt some more interest. I fished it by sewing on a rear panel that completed the "sleeve" the real belt would fit through.
Next, I cut up a thin brown belt into a 10" loop and sewed it to the bottom of the right side of the belt "sleeve". I also sewed the buckle end of the thin belt to the sleeve above the loop. Then, I sewed hook-and-loop tape onto each section of the thin belt so it could be closed around the hammer's head. This made a functional (yet stylish) loop to drop the hammer's handle through, with a lash to keep it from falling out.
To accommodate all the candy my son was sure to receive, I took am irregularly shaped piece of brown vinyl and sewed a rough-looking bag (with a hook-and-loop closure). It made a nice-looking accent that was way better than a plastic candy bag.
