Super dope. Been thinking of trying to make a belt for my podcast but always felt it's way to hard

[@halfshellbjj5719]

Yeah it just depends on how you want to make it. The way I'm making it is about as easy as I can do it and having it look the most amount of professional as I can. The medals I have made with a medal manufacturer, for tournaments I throw. The as far as the straps, knowing how to sew is the hardest part.

@@halfshellbjj5719 how much does the cost run about ?

[@halfshellbjj5719]

@@urbanwrestlingnw Well, I order my medals in bulk for tournaments. I order over 400 medals, and like 20 of the large center piece medals at a time. It comes out to like $5 a medal, and $13 for each of the large ones, but only because I get them in bulk. Now as far as the other materials, vinyl is pretty cheap, each belt probably uses about $5 worth of vinyl, and about $3 worth of craft foam. The velcro is cheap, but I actually use magnets in my current set of belts I make now, which i like a lot better. You could probably use craft foam for the medals part, if you're artistic enough. There are some great cosplay videos out there that show you how to make foam look like all types of metal. Or even plastic, or vinyl stickers. Just gotta do a little brainstorming.

Whats the plates made of this is some good work

[@halfshellbjj5719]

The plates I have made by a medal manufacturer. I host martial arts tournaments, so the smaller medals are leftover from the tournament, the bigger center medal I have made specifically for the belts. I draw the artwork for them and send them to the manufacturer. The straps I make myself. Thanks!
