{"product_id":"woven-boot-belt-project","title":"Woven Boot Belt Project by Johanna Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeaving is such a fun craft. The chipboard looms that we carry at The Shoppe at Somerset are much easier and precise than homemade cardboard looms. The loom worked well when weaving with non-traditional fibers (crinkled ribbon) as it was very forgiving to use. The looms come in various dimensions, and one of them seemed a perfect width and length for a boot belt. The salvaged metal flowers had the right look and dimension for a belt buckle, and they made an easy pairing. If I was a bit bolder in my jewelry tastes, this would have also made a cool choker necklace!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWoven Boot Belt Project Directions:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWrap yarn lengthwise on the loom to create your warp.
