It's been a while since I've put anything fun on here, so I've got an awesome new project to show you guys.
It all started when I was wandering around a thrift shop the other day when I saw this belt that screamed Steampunk!
I just had to have it, but I knew that I wouldn't be using it for a belt, because part of it was pretty trashed.
So after debating what to do with it, I finally decided that it would make the coolest cuff. It would even be Steampunk enough that a man could sport it.
Basic first step, cut the belt to fit your wrist. The original belt came with chain to link the leather strips, so I figured chain would be a great addition to my belt cuff.
I measured the straps to fit mostly on the top of my wrist and chain to go below.
I also used a leather punch to make the holes for the chain.
Then it was just as simple as putting everything together!
Very Steampunk!
I ended up giving this as a Christmas gift to one of my guy friends, who absolutely loved it. The great thing about keeping all the belt attachments is that it is easily adjustable.
This is something that can honestly be done with any simple leather belt.
Give it a try!
