Are you looking to have your needlepoint canvas turned into a beautiful leather belt? Or, would you like to stitch a custom design and then have it turned into a belt? We'd love to help and offer custom needlepoint designs and leather finishing for needlepoint belts.

This listing is for leather needlepoint belt finishing only. You will mail us your needlepoint belt canvas and we'll turn it into a beautiful needlepoint belt.

We recommend ordering a belt that is 3 inches larger than the pant size of the wearer. We can make odd sizes on request.

DESIGNS:
We sell custom needlepoint belt canvases here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/205412920/lifes-treasures-custom-needlepoint-belt

Or you can stitch your own design (see below for sizing information)

SIZING:
-- If you have boughten one of our belt canvases to stitch, stitch the printed area on your canvas (or what is indicated on your charts) and you are all ready for finishing.

-- If you created your own canvas, you will need to stitch 24 stitches in height on 18 mesh. Your stitched canvas will need to be 6 inches smaller than the final belt size. About one inch of needlepoint on each side will be covered by the leather. We will do a rolled edge when finishing, do not do a binding stitch.

See the above image for how to measure an existing belt to the most worn hole. If you can't measure, we suggest ordering 3 inches larger than the pant size. The belt size is not the pant size.
