00:06Hi guys, I'm Chloe with Refinery29, and today we're going to make a super easy DIY rope
00:12belt that will add a little bit of extra pop to just any outfit.
00:15So here's what you'll need, some rope, you can use anything from cotton to draper cords,
00:21some ribbon, some scissors, and a glue gun.
00:25For the first step, we're going to take your rope and measure it to get the right length.
00:30My method is a little unscientific, but I'm going to wrap it around my hips, make sure
00:34that it'll go all the way around, then pull it out, make sure I have a little bit of extra.
00:40I'm going to go ahead and cut it.
00:43Because mine's going to unravel, I'm going to cut a little piece of ribbon just to keep
00:48it secure while I tie it on me.
00:53For the next step, I'll take my rope and loop it through my jeans.
00:57So now I'm going to take both ends of the rope and just tie a simple knot.
01:01Then the rope in my left hand, I'm going to do an under loop, like so, and then take the
01:06rope in my right hand and slip it through that loop.
01:10Then grab it with your left hand, and I'm going to pull nice and taut.
01:16And now I'm going to go ahead and clip the ends to the desired length, since I know how
01:19it fits.
01:20So now I'm going to take the rope off and put the orange ribbon on the ends.
01:25Cut a little bit of ribbon to work with.
01:27I'll start in about an inch, put a little bit of dot of glue there.
01:32Then I'm going to start wrapping it around.
01:34I'm going to do a small line of glue right here across the top to help secure it as I
01:42wrap
01:42it.
01:45Then once you finish this side, go ahead and start on the other one and wrap that as well.
01:55Now I'm going to go ahead and just clip the ends off as close to the ribbon as possible.
02:02So now I'm going to go ahead and just loop it through, and so we're all done.
02:06And you can wear it with jeans, a skirt, just a quick way to add a nice little pop of
02:12color
02:12to any outfit.
02:12You can wear it with jeans, a skirt, just a quick way to add a nice little pop of the
02:28So now I'm going to go ahead and go ahead and show you the next one.
02:28Bye, bye.
