🏆 How to Make a Realistic UFC Championship Belt (Non-Yarn)

✂️ Materials Needed:

Black felt or faux leather sheet (for the strap)
Gold metallic cardstock or gold craft foam (for the belt plate)
Miniature letter stickers or a black fine-tip permanent marker
Hot glue gun or craft glue
Velcro dots or magnetic snaps (for detachable closure)
Thin cardboard backing (optional) for sturdiness

🧰 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Belt Strap

Cut a strip of black felt or faux leather approx. 2–3 cm wide and 15–18 cm long, depending on your doll’s waist size.
Round off the ends for a more realistic shape.
Optional: Stitch or glue a thin decorative gold border around the edges using metallic ribbon or paint.

2. Create the Center Plate

Cut a hexagonal or octagonal shape out of gold cardstock or craft foam, about 4–5 cm wide.
Optional: Layer a smaller plate on top to give it a raised effect.

3. Add “UFC” Logo

You have a few options:

Use tiny alphabet stickers for clean lettering.
Use a black permanent marker to write “UFC”.
Print a tiny UFC logo on glossy paper and glue it onto the plate.

4. Add Side Plates (Optional)

You can cut out 2–4 small gold circles or squares to mimic side plates and glue them to either side of the center plate on the strap.

5. Attach Plate to Strap

Use hot glue to firmly attach the gold plates onto the black strap.
Optional: Add a layer of clear nail polish or gloss Mod Podge to the gold pieces to make them shine like metal.

6. Add Closure

Use Velcro dots or a tiny magnet on each end of the belt strap so you can attach and remove it easily from the doll.

🪄 Optional Embellishments:

Add faux rhinestones to mimic championship diamonds.
Use a gold paint pen to draw intricate lines around the border.
Decorate with UFC sponsor logos printed small and glued as labels.

✅ Final Look:

Once complete, wrap the belt around your amigurumi Ronda Rousey’s waist. It should sit snug and shine boldly, giving her that authentic champion fighter look—no yarn needed.
