If you need a small buckle, you can quickly and easily make one from pull tag of a drink can. This buckle will fit a strap about 1 inch wide. You can also paint the buckle any color you like.

Total Time: 15 Minutes
Supplies:
drink can
wire 1.5 mm diameter, I used copper wire from an old transformer
pliers and wire cutters
awl, thread and needle for connecting with strap of belt
sandpaper
Steps:
Separate the pull tag carefully.
Fold over the rivet and hide it in the back, or cut it and fold the edges.
Cut off a piece of wire. If you are using wire from an old transformer, scrape off the cover and sand it. Fold one end around the nose of the pull tag.
Sand the unbent end of the wire. Bend the wire prong slightly.
