"Playtime Garbage"

This is the second belt I purchased and I love both of them This s a great idea to reuse bottle tops. These belts are the perfect accessory to accent a dress, top etc. It is also a conversation starter as I have received many complements on them. A great way to add fun into your wardrobe.
