Thrift Store re-uses

[Joseph]

I am a nut for thrift store buys. We have a DAV store that once in a while has a 97 cent sale for clothing. I like looking at the leather belts (that nobody but me wants to purchase). I can usually harvest some nice hardware along with some nice leather.

My latest one is a brown belt that I cut up and made some wristbands. Sometimes I have to get creative with the existing holes because I do not want to waste a bit.

Here is one wristband I made.

I would be interested in hearing other success stories with leather from thrift stores.

Yes, buying old belts is a cheap way to amass a collection of buckles.
