I’ve lived through my fair share of fashion faux pas.  There was the matching tie-dyed tee shirt and leggings combo. There was the acid washed short overalls. There was the opened toed-lace up high heeled booties. And there was the teal fanny pack that I carried for most of 1989. Now, I don’t see any chance that the matching tie-dyed ensemble will be making a come back any time soon, but I feel pretty strongly that the fanny pack has made a respectable resurgence and there’s hope that we can make the fanny pack cool again. There are plenty of big named, fancy shmancy designers who have revived the fanny pack but I think DIY is the way to go and I’m here to prove it to you with today’s Easy DIY Modern Fanny Pack…it’s a goodie.

  • Use embroidery floss to secure the belt to itself. IMPORTANT: To do this step, line up your punched hole with another one of the belt holes. Select which holes to use based on how you want to waist of your fanny pack to fit. Then, pull the embroidery floss through the two holes and tie a snug knot. Then wrap the embroidery floss around and around and around and finish with a knot.
