Quick Fix #2: 80's Inspired Tee Shirt Clip (upcycle)

   Today's Quick Fix Is one of those great tee shirt clips like we used to wear back in the 80's. They are making a little bit of a comeback with the rest of the 80's, and I had occasion to need one for an 80's Star Wars dance night (I LOVE going dancing, you guys). Locally, I could find squat, and I needed it asap. That left me with one option: figure out how to make one. Here's the solution I came up with!


You Will Need:
  • An old belt with a circular buckle (as pictured). I got mine from the thrift store for like $1.
  • scissors appropriate to cut through the material the belt is made of
  • pliers (here I lean towards two sets with needle nose)
  • decorations if you want to change the appearance of your tee clip




Step One: Cut the belt away from the buckle as shown.




Step Two: Remove the prong (the part that goes through the belt holes) from the buckle.



Step Three: Pull the bottom edge of your shirt through the top of the buckle from the back, over the bar through the middle, then back out of the buckle on the other side. Bam! You now look super rad! (note to self, clean your dang mirrors next time!)
