Steps:

1. Put your belt on.
2. Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure how much of the belt you want to remove. Make this mark on the buckle end of the belt.
3. Place a mark where you will cut the belt to shorten it.

4. Measure how much of the belt is folded over the belt. Add that length to the cut mark to leave enough material to fold over the buckle.
5. Using a screwdriver, remove all screws from the buckle end of the belt.

6. Using scissors, cut on the exact spot of your new mark.
7. You can round the edges of the cut to make the belt tip look neat.
8. You can add shoe or leather polish to the cut mark to ensure it is the same color as the belt.

9. Reinsert the screws and screw them back in place using a screwdriver.

10. Place your belt on a workspace that can be nailed into.
11. Place a nail on the new spot where you'd like to add a hole.
12. Hammer the nail until it goes all the way through the belt.
13. Caution: Be careful when using a hammer.

14. Try on the belt and see if it fits comfortably.
15. If not, follow this guide again to add more holes.
