ABSTRACT:
A method of decorating an item of clothing uses a decorative device that includes a surface configured to enclose a space, the surface including a gap that permits entry to the enclosed space. A portion of a loop of the clothing (e.g., a belt loop) is manipulated to lie within the space enclosed by the surface, other portions of the loop extending outside the device.
The decorative device includes a generally annular surface having a length between about 1/2 inch and about 2 inches. The surface is configured to enclose a space having a diameter of at least about 1 inch. The surface includes a gap oriented generally along a length of the surface and permitting entry to the enclosed space, the gap being as large as about 1/4 inch.
