This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Textiles.

For this BB, you will weave a belt!

Tablet Weaving Lesson #1 - Simple Diamond pattern in backstrap method


To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- weave a belt at least 3/4" wide and long enough to be used by a real human
- add a buckle to the belt - it can be simple (two metal rings) or complex - show that the belt is the right size for the buckle
- use natural materials
- use warp-faced weaving techniques like tablet weaving, backstrap, etc.
- finish the ends

To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pictures or a video (less than two minutes):
 - before showing the materials and loom setup
 - weaving in process
 - you finished project

I made a belt out of handspun wool thread. I wove it on a warp-weighted loom (necessetating a tablet-woven starter), and packed the threads densely enough to create a plain weave warp-faced fabric. Attached a vintage buckle from my collection and hey presto -- a belt!

Ends were finished via a rolled hem.
