With paper and a little Dimensional Magic, you can have fun and fashionable DIY belt buckles to wear with your favorite pair of jeans.I can’t stop with the Dimensional Magic – you know I made rings and then also a damask frame (among others). I love this stuff!

So the other day I made some DIY belt buckles with Dimensional Magic, and they turned out so great that I had to share.

Let me tell you, it was totally touch-and-go there for a moment, using Dimensional Magic on such a large area. But it worked out. Here’s how.

DIY Belt Buckles

Gather These Supplies

  • Belt buckles – I got mine from Etsy (search for “belt buckle blank”)
  • Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
  • Mod Podge Gloss
  • Scraps of scrapbook paper
  • Embellishments – stickers, brads, rhinestones, glitter . . . whatever you have in your stash. The cool flowers are Maya Road Resin Blossoms in Red
  • Vellum
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Tape

This is a super easy tutorial with only a few steps.

With paper and a little Dimensional Magic, you can have fun and fashionable DIY belt buckles to wear with your favorite pair of jeans.First, use a piece of vellum (or another scrap of paper) as a template – trace the inside of the belt buckle with your pencil. I did a rubbing of the edge and it worked well.

Here’s the whole trick to doing the DIY belt buckles. THREE layers.

I did one layer and allowed to dry in a warm place (to prevent cracking). I did a second layer and allowed to dry again. THEN I did a third layer and added the scrapbooking brad embellishments so that they would be “dimensional” on the top of the Dimensional Magic.

What do you think? Are you ready to sport a DM belt buckle? I so dare you. One more thing – I had everything on hand except for the belt buckles, so this project was budget friendly.

    Yes! I saw some belt buckle blanks a couple of weeks ago and I have been working on a plan ever since. I actually bought some Dimensional Magic last week for this very reason. So excited to see this!

    This is a great idea, I think we could do this with the kids and make matching buckles for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
