Modifying Welding Goggles into a Steam inspired look

Step 4 Finishing this Piece

I didn't like the look of the suede overlapping very much, so I used a retractable razer and trimmed it down flush.

I also cut the holes for the head strap out. I just felt through the suede with my finger nail and used the retractable razor to cut holes in the leather right over where the original holes where already at.

Then I got excited, and put the elastic strap back in. I could have waited, but waiting isn't for me. I had to use my tweezers to push the thing through, because it was a tight fit.

To get rid of the white interior stripes on the black suede, I used a black sharpie marker. They come in all colors these days, so I suppose this could work for any color leather theoretically.

It was virtually seamless to the naked eye, but the camera has picked up the seams.

I also forgot to take pictures, but there was a little plastic sheath for the chain that goes in the middle. I covered that in black suede, too.
