Does anyone remember another thread about stuff that doesn't quite work out?????

So far, 4 skeins have been crocheted (bought 5 @ $1.00) and the fringe was only to be 18" long. I cut the buckle end of the belt ($5.00) off to 36" and took the trim from the waste part to cover the new nekid part. Smoking out in the garage, I spied a whole bag full of washers (free) and remembered seeing some pictures where a dancer covered a belt and bra with washers and the light bulb went off. I then was at Walmart and thought to look at the swivel barrel snaps in the fishing department, bought $5.00 worth. Sewed the snaps 7/8" apart with dental floss which didn't work so next time at Walmart bought beading thread ($.99 ?). Sewed the 43 snaps, installed washers, and tried on belt...too big so cut and additional 3" and had to redo the end. I got to tell you, I was liking it with just the washers. There's was a great clearance sale at Dillards so afterwards went to Hobby Lobby to buy ribbon and cord (about $4.00) to use as the ties. Installed ties to satisfaction.

Now on to cut the fringe. I wanted it 18" long and cut 36" pieces to fold in half and loop through the washers. When I got to the second batch, was NOT paying attention and started cutting 18" pieces. Great. I figured to make it look on purpose and arranged 2 short, 2 long in an alternating pattern, but didn't have enough. Crochet more yarn. Installed and lacked one short fring and one long fringe after I tried to improvise by using some of the snaps to hand looped chain. This was more than done enough to try on.

It makes my butt look fat!
