Finishing

1. Pin belt at corners and steam with iron to block. Fully wet belt with steam and allow to dry.
   
2. (Optional) Instead of blocking with steam iron, saturate belt in spray starch or liquid starch to add stiffness to belt. Pin belt at corners and allow to dry.
   
3. Sew circle to end of belt, see photo for placement.
   
4. Attach 9mm loop to keychain ring and belt. See photo for assistance.
