OK kids. Here's an easy one for you. DIY vegan belts.
So even your vegan grandmother can rep one of these bad boys.

You need
1x bicycle inner tube.
Studs (2 kinds, possibly more, choice is yours), in this case I've used square pyramid studs, which are $10 per 100 at studs 'n' shit or from assorted other distros. These belts use about 270 studs each.

Also I've used round conical solid studs, which I think were 100 for $10 as well. These ones need to be put in with a hammer and studding tool...

Also, if you want to put eyelets in, you'll need some of those as well, and an eyelet setting tool (they come in packs usually at fabric stores including the tool), which also requires a hammer.
Scissors for cutting tube to length.

I can also recommend, but they're not required...
a blunt knife (for help with bending the pyramid studs).
an awl (for punching holes for eyelets and conical studs, I just used a nail and hammer but would be heaps easier if i had one.

And finally you will probably need a buckle. In the above photo there are two belts, one features the el cheapo buckle... which was something like $4 at Geoffs Emporium, Dominion Road. And the Skull Buckle which was something like $35 at Spacesuit on K Road... but hey. This is about looking good, price doesn't factor in!

Optional accessories...
bondage rings (the cheaper belt has two lots of 4 D rings in it, I kind of with I had more.. and in chrome, but hey... still got a third in the making!
Wallet chains - again, the cheap belt has one... kind of annoying sometimes like running through doorways and getting it caught, or sitting down on bus stop benches and having it slip between the cracks and hold you down. But hey!! it's ok if you look good! (remember this rule).

Finally, ... the more belts you wear, the more popular you will be. So load 'em up. It's kind of like scientology, you have to obtain certain levels to be respected, ... thus.. the more belts you have the more Punk Points you have. And obviously the better you look.

That's it!

Model = me
belt maker = me
photographer = me
inspiration = drinking home made beer 4 years ago (does funny things to your head!).

ps. don't take this seriously ok?
