Girth Belt strap question

Hey guys I am going to need some help and some advice from people that have done this before. I have 3 girth belts that I am going to dye, only problem is that I have no clue how to strap the girth belt around myself. It has the four metal clips, but that isn't going to work for me. Any suggestions on how I can strap my girth belt onto myself. I would prefer not to do snaps or tie the ends in knots.

I used dog collars for a quick and cheap fix... I will change this later though...

I just thought that might help.

Hey thanks bobamatt, I didn't think of that.

Well I sew the black webbing on just as it really is. On one side, on two of the roller buckles and I know that is not the answer you are probably looking for but....

Me too. It ain't that hard. If you aren't a sewer, I'm betting you could have it done fairly inexpensively!! Might as well go for accuracy if you can

Can you post me some pics of the webbing?

Not the best pic, but what I have handy. This should give you an idea.

Hey Ripecode thanks for the pic. I think I get the idea now. Oh and thanks for the PM. I am gonna try my handy work on one of them and see how it goes and I will let you know about the other two.

I just bought some black webbing from the local Jo-Ann's and using my hot glue gun, made the loop around the metal buckle.

I then used a knife to scratch the webbing where you would see the stiching. (one day i have to get a sewing machine).

Then - using an awl, i punched holes on the other side to allow it to buckle up...

Yeah I think I might go and grab a doggy collar from walmart or something and sew it on there. I also might just take some of the material from one of my old backpacks and use that.

I used a Dremel with a cutting disc to remove the buckle pics from one end of the belt, so they're not in the way. I sewed 1" black webbing, looping it around those buckles.

I used a hot soldering iron to punch the belt holes, as it cuts and cauterizes in one step!

Hey thanks for the input BN. I bought these and didn't even think about how I was going to go about getting them so that I could wear them. LOL. Thanks for the input and ideas fellas! Keep em comin!

I am gonna go ahead and assume that you did all of that before you put it on. Ouch

Hey guys,

Just stumbled across this board, I used a fabric dye we get here in Scotland called Dylon. You mix it in a bucket and once done doesn't bleed. I used it for my ESB gloves too. The brown is a pretty good match for the ESB stylee. Dog collars work perfectly for the final link.

You also just stumbled across a thread that is nearly 3 years old. Might wanna check the date stamps before bringing a thread back from the dead
