- 1). Try the belt on with your jingle dress. Make sure that it will work with the style and pattern of the dress. Other than the metal circles that you will fix to the belt, any other patterns on the leather should conform to the patterns on your jingle dress.
- 2). Lay your metal circles out on the belt. They should be several inches apart from each other. The metal circles should have the same diameter as the width of the belt. If any of the circles do not fit on the belt perfectly, use the metal shears to trim them down to size. Position the circles so that they will not be in parts of the belt that will have to bend sharply. They should be mostly in the front and back of the belt.
- 3). Use the fabric glue to fix the metal circles to the belt. Use a glue that will work on leather. Use plenty of glue to be sure that the metal circles will hold. If any excess glue leaks out from under the circles then wipe it off quickly with the rag.
- 4). Let your jingle belt dry for 48 hours. Keep it in a warm, dry place. Once it is dry, you can practice wearing it with your jingle dress to be sure that everything stays in place before you wear it during a performance.
