Needlepoint Belt Buckles
Needlepoint belt buckles are the hottest new thing in needlepoint.
Large belt buckles are popular in the fashion world. We have adapted to needlepoint, the stylish belt buckle designs of D.L. Rhein. Stitch one to suit your own unique style or as a personalized gift for a friend or daughter.
Once stitched and finished the belt buckle slides onto any one of our gorgeous belt straps. Stitch more than one and interchange them.
What Is Inside a Needlepoint Belt Buckle Kit?
The kits contain everything you need to complete your buckle. Once you have stitched the canvas, you can have your belt buckle professionally "finished." (By this we mean, let a needlepoint finisher stretch the canvas and glue it onto the belt buckle.)

Some General Tips and Instructions For Finishing Needlepoint Belt Buckles
- When stitching with metallics and velvets, keep the thread length short as this will prevent the thread from shredding. This is also why we have suppplied a larger than normal needle.
- When you have finished stitching, stretch the canvas back into shape. Do this either by using an iron with a damp cloth covering the canvas (the warm iron will "loosen" the fibers and allow you to alter the shape slightly), or by blocking the canvas. Blocking instructions are here.
- Trim around the canvas about 1/4 inch. Then snip notches in this trimmed part, up to the stitching, taking care not to snip the stitches. This will allow the canvas to curve so you can fold it back neatly.
- Use a warm iron to press the trimmed canvas back against the stitches on the wrong side. From the front you should now have a nice oval shape with only the stitched area showing. Using a fabric or clear glue (make sure the type of glue you use can touch your fingers without damaging your skin), lightly glue the folded canvas in place.
- Test that the canvas fits snugly in the belt buckle. If need be you can make the canvas a little smaller by folding more of it under. Apply glue (not fabric glue, as this will not bond) to the middle of the belt buckle and press the canvas (wrong side down of course) to the buckle, lining it up so it will fit nicely. With the center adhered, you can then work around the edges, glueing them down neatly.
