With 8 yards, I'd have 2 belted plaids. I'd simply rip/cut it into 2 four-yard pieces.

My first belted plaid was 8 yards of wool. I IMMEDIATELY knew it was WAS to big, so I cut off 2 yards. I later removed 2 more, so it is now 4 yards. One of the 2 yards stretches is a blanket and the other is now a "beater" kilt (my "jedi" kilt).
