Description
At last, my first attempt at steampunk goggles. I came across a tutorial and from there I basically made the rest up. I decided to do things vastly different from the original aside from a few tips on how to deal with the fabric and when kind of materials to start with. Basically it just came down to winging it and letting the creative side go.These were completely made by me using pleather, mason jar rims, plastic packaging, acorn nuts and wing nuts, floral wire, grommets, a couple of nick-knacks picked up at Michael's, and lots of hot glue. They were spray painted that color, as well. They obviously are a first time thing, so I have notes on what I need to improve on or come up with solutions for, like strengthening the bits that are for your eyes and something better for the nosepiece. I have a few ideas, but we'll see.

Thanks! My next attempt will be much sturdier.
And yes, I did make the earrings, but only by buying charms and linking them to hooks... so not really. Haha.
