DIY Belly Dance Bra + Optional Belt — 4‑Week Craft Series
Transform your style and elevate your performance with a creative journey into costuming! This intimate, guided series empowers you to design and build a bedazzled belly dance bra—with an optional matching belt—using your own materials and personalized flair.
What You'll Create
A stunning, custom dance bra, fully covered and embellished to your unique vision.
Optional belt made from sturdy fabric (denim/canvas), styled to complement your bra.
A tangible, wearable piece ready for photo ops, dance events, and personal expression.
Series Schedule (Once a Week, 1 Hour Each)
Week 1 – Discover & Design
Explore fabrics, beads, coins, chains, fringe, and hardware.
Sketch your design and mood board.
Choose your color palette and decide if you'll make the optional belt.
Week 2 – Prep & Cut
Layer your bra with 4‑way stretch fabric and cut it to fit.
Optionally, cut the belt base to size.
Learn neat-cutting and fabric handling techniques.
Week 3 – Construct & Glue
Sew your base fabric securely onto the bra (and belt base if applicable).
Attach heavier pieces (gems, coins, chain) using E6000 or similar glue—set these overnight to ensure durability.
Week 4 – Embellish & Showcase
Hand-sew final decorative accents: fringe, beads, charms.
Fine-tune fit and finish.
Wear your creation, take photos, and celebrate your artistry in a mini reveal/celebration!
What to Bring (BYO Supplies)
Bra: Thrifted or new—sturdy fit is key
4-way stretch fabric: To cover your bra base—this can also be thrifted!
Optional belt base: Denim or canvas for matching set
Embellishments: Beads, rhinestones, coins, chains, fringe—go wild!
Craft kit: Needle, thread, hot glue gun + glue sticks, E6000 adhesive
I will be supplying design and sketch materials, as well as any specialty items we may need (like belt hardware or clasps). I will also be bringing in my collection of bras and belts for students to inspect and get inspired from!

Community vibes — small group support and sharing.

Pricing & Logistics

FAQ
Do I have to make a belt?
No—it's optional. Stick with just the bra if that better suits your time or preference.
I have never sewn before—can I still join?
Absolutely! We’ll guide you through each step in class.
What if parts need extra drying time?
We’ve built in Week 3’s glue step to allow overnight setting; Week 4 is all about finishing touches and styling.
