DZYN Mash Up

Mash Up

Using what already exists and pairing it with what is unexpected to create something totally new and unique – that is a MashUp.

Be resourceful and try using what is already around you ... Create something new that no one else has and everyone wants.

Now is the time to re-use what has already been created, use what others may want to get rid of…make a useless item a useful resource.

Take “junk” and make it new and usable. Take new items and combine them into something totally unexpected.

This section and the MashUp book series will provide plenty of ideas and inspiration for you to try….and let us see what your current MashUp is.

Multiple belts are cool

Basically, it is just two belts put together with a ring in the middle to create one continuous belt that you double up.

1) Find two similar sized belts at a low priced boutique or thrift shop. Different colors/textures are okay. Try to buy long/large size belts if they are available.

2) Cut the buckle off of one of the belts and if it is usable as the connecting ring, then save it. If it isn’t then you will need a connecting metal ring the same width or a bit larger than the width of your belt. You can find metal rings in craft, fabric and bead stores.

3) Loop the cut part of the belt through the connecting ring. Loop the belt hole part of the belt that still has it’s buckle through the ring. Double them back and keep them in place with paper clips or tape. Measure to make sure the belt will double around you and have enough extra to separate like the one being shown in the picture.

Belt Mash Up

4) Take it to a shoe repair person and have him stitch it for you. Do not try to do this yourself. You cannot stitch it strong enough by hand and you will ruin your sewing machine.

5) When it is done, take the belt and put the ring portion in the center of your stomach. Wrap the belt around you in the back and buckle it in the front. You have now created a high end fashion forward look that is all your own.
