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.
-
Using a screwdriver, remove all screws from the buckle end of the belt.

Using scissors, cut on the exact spot of your new mark.
-
You can round the edges of the cut to make the belt tip look neat.

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