I finally finished this belt last year. I had made it awhile ago but it never looked finished so I kept on adding.
I used a chain belt like I did here

I added the belt buckle medallions on the front and back by tying them on with colored ties.

I then started stringing the yarn on the back. I strung them through the holes of the chain and double knotted them. I added different colored and different textured yarn. I then strung a string of kuchi coins across the back.

On the sides I added broken pieces from necklaces that had beads and chain. I also added colored blue beads to the necklace pieces. I then added on the sides, tassels made out of syntheic hair with a small feather.

The front I added the light weight coins that you find on hip scarfs. I added them using o-rings. From the medallions I hung a string of glass beads with a coin at the end. I also added blue bells on the front. Last I added a blue necklace(bought it at a yard sale) that hangs in a swag.

Before I completed it I wore out here
