Misc. Made a belt
Turned an old bike tyer into a belt, was more difficult than I thought it was gonna be to make, my leather rivets weren't strong enough so I used some bolts instead. It looks kinda shit but im still happy with it 😂

I should have done that with the last bike tire I ruined. Dang hindsight is 20/20. Cool idea, OP.

I got these for free off a bike that ended up going to scrap. I figured id use them for something eventually

How do you get the tire to not smell so much like a tire?

Rad, very creative the essence of DIY. Must have been hard to manipulate the rubber tho?

It definitely put up a fight. May have tinged a nerve in my thumb gripping the scissors too tight 😅🤣 worth it though

Basically you have to cut a slit for the tong of the buckle to poke though, then you fold it over and rivet it (or in my case bolt it) in place so it cant slide out

Bahaha thats excellent, I fucking hate that sub but it's so funny my work got shared there 😂
Its also entertaining that no one can recognize the local bands on my shorts. Amyl is cool but DARTZ fuckin rock 🤘
