What can I make with old Karate belts??
I have a huge supply of used karate belts of many colors. I don't want to just throw them out because I know someone must have an idea of what you can make with these. I know some people used to make key chain tags with them so there must be something they can be used for. Thank you in advance for your ideas.
Here are hundreds of ideas for you to use those: https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS723US725&sxsrf=ALeKk03-o1jeIlX8WPVqCfWLSUXUw19g3A:1593607211520&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=repurpose+karate+belts&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi_3IO-iazqAhXNm-AKHZNiA-8QsAR6BAgKEAE
You could display them, weave them together and use it for a pillow, a bench/chair seat, or a tote bag.

Hello Valerie,
They make great Dress belts along with a buckle or Cross body straps for a bag. If you have enough and can stick them or sew them together, maybe make a rug or a cushion etc. Hope that a bit of inspiration for you to work on.
We've made guitar straps from them before and it worked well

Hmm you could sew them together to make almost a fabric
How about using them to make a few colorful throw pillows? OR a wall hanging? OR weave them into a fabric to fit a bench or chair seat.
You could make shelf’s and use the belts for brackets to hold wood up on the wall paint the belts
I would consider weaving them into,a wall hanging! Good luck and stay safe!

Hi Valerie: There are groups who work with handicapped kids who would love to have those belts! I'd try donating them to some group who would really appreciate them.
I really like your idea. I will look into it. Thank You
Can you weave them and make carpets for in front of the door?
