those of you who frequent every aspect of the board may have noticed I'm giving my costume a complete overhaul 
everything just seemed to be falling into place to make a more accurate costume than what I had, so I've just been running with it.
as a result of this overhaul I come bearing the fruits of my labor - a semi-accurate jedi belt.
all parts are remarkably bought at wal-mart. Horray for corporate elitism!
slight bit of tutorial/description:
the "leather" is the white fuzz backed vinyl and that's ALL of the leatheresque peices.
the studs are pushpins for pegboards - some spare ones I had from a pegboard I don't own anymore. I used a pair of pliers to twist the metal pins out of the plastic top, spraypainted them and then added a small screw to each.
the buckle is a black one for 97c at the craft department that I spraypainted silver.
it's going to be attached in the back with sticky backed industrial strength velcro, also in the craft section.
I'm also going to make pouches from these $1.47 bait pouches from the sporting goods section, bit I haven't done that. I'll try to remember to take pics as I go so as to make a tutorial.
Hope i've inspired someone out there on how they can do a semi accurate belt. I only say semi accurate because the peices aren't authentic but the look is the same. MTFBWY
