Handwoven artisan belt (tablet weaving) with a colorful design - made to order in your desired length. Such a belt can be used in historical reenactment or as a festival belt, ethnic dress belt, boho accessory, handfasting cord, guitar strap, etc.

On bands longer than 100 cm the pattern will change direction, you can see that in the pictures.

Length: choose. Length does not include tassels; it is only the woven part. If you order, e.g., 200 cm with tassels, it means your belt will be 200 cm + ca. 30 cm tassels = 230 cm in total.
Width: about 5 cm
Colour: reds, yellows, browns. If you would like something else - purchase this and write your palette in the personalisation section during checkout.

Historical inspiration: This is my original pattern designed following the logic of ancient and medieval tablet weaving techniques. Geometric patterns are suitable for the historical reenactment of Celtic, Scandinavian, Rus, Slavic, Anglo-Saxon, and other Iron Age and early medieval peoples.

Wash with care, hand wash only!

What is this craft?
Tablet (card) weaving is an ancient craft of making strong, narrow, decorative bands. In the past men and women wore tablet woven bands as belts, leg wraps, hair bands or garment trims. Today tablet woven bands are used in historical reenactment (from Celtic to late medieval Europe), SCA, larp, folk costumes and all kinds of pagan, fantasy or Viking societies. They can also serve as handfasting cords, guitar straps, bag straps, bookmarks, etc.
