Here is what you will need:
begin my cutting the end of the belt which has no hardware. Cut 1" bigger than your wrist size. Also salvage the loop from the opposite end of the belt
cut 6 circles for your flowers. I used a stretchy knit.
using a glue gun (preferably your pink polka dotted glue gun) and glue the cut end of the belt right inside the loop.
TADA
to make the flower grab up each circle and fold it in half
then fold it in half again
start gluing them to one of your felt circles
I added 2 more to the top just for some extra dimension then glued on a button
cute flower right? You may also notice I am rocking the dixie paper plate to glue on. Oh yeah baby!
glue the back of the flower to the front of the belt. I didnt take a picture in the next step I guess? I glued the other felt circle right over the belt like a sandwich
all finished! Easy peasy. I love the glue gun because it is instant gratification as far as drying time. You can use your favorite adhesive.

Very creative use of a belt. I like it. I also like the color, your pink glue gun, and the fact that you rock the paper plate like I do.
