We're making a bracelet today, DIY bracelet. So far we've undone all the waistband, we've cut the top of the material at the top so it fray in the wash. We cut about two and a half inches more than we need, and we took the side with the button. Now just for looks and only looks, I'm going to just take off any pieces that I've got that are frayed like this. Where my belt loop was here, I'm just going to cut that off just going to make this, make it look kind of how I want it to. And I'm not sure yet if I want it thinner or not. Once I get spikes and stuff in it, I'll start being able to tell if I like the thickness or not. So, just go along and clean up anything that you don't particularly like. If you have some bad cuts or maybe you don't like the pocket here, just cut any of that stuff off, and we'll move on to the next step from there.
