Recycled Harness (hot Things to Do With Old Bike Tube)

Have you ever gotten sticker shock when you saw the price tag on that
harness that you saw in the store? Yup, I mean the kind of harnesses that us queer and kinky folk us when we want a little strap on action. Maybe it's time to learn how to make
your own. Btw, there's nothing explicit here, it's what you do with your toys that's a little on the rowdy side.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

You will need:
One hammer
One pointy tool (knife or awl)
scissors
snap setter
snap setting anvil

Step 2: Anvil

This is the avil, the smooth side is for the round part of the snaps you will be setting. The other side is for setting the snap that interlocks with that snap.

Step 3: Gather Materials

You need
One two inch side release buckle
Four One inch side release buckles
One steel ring whatever size bust fits the toys you usually use. Mine is a two inch.
At least six pairs of snaps. You are likely to mess some up so have extras.
Nine or ten rivets. (you can use snaps here too, but since you don't need to adjust these points, I used rivets.
One skinny used bike tube
One fat bike tube.

Step 4: Snaps

These are your snaps. The first picture is the smooth side pair which you set using the sooth side of the anvil in step three. The second picture is the opposite pair which you set using the side of the anvil in picture two of step three. I promise I will get to the construction details in a moment.

Step 5: How to Set Snaps

To set snaps, you will poke a hole through the materials to be joined and inset the snap post through the hole. Lay the top part of the snap on over the post and put the whole thing on the proper side of the anvil as illustrated in 3 and 5. Place the setting tool on top of the post with the nubbin down and centered. Hit the anvil with the hammer as needed until the snap is secure.

Step 6: Cut and Assemble the Butt Straps.

Cut two twenty one inch strips of thin tube. Set one pair of snaps into the end of the two straps as illustrated. Slide buckles on opposite end.

Step 7: Waist Straps

Construct waist strap. Cut two twenty three inch lengths of thick tube. Set two pairs of snaps into the end of each as illustrated. Attach the receiving two inch buckle to the end of one strip by pressing the rivets together with pliers or using snaps if you want. Loop the corresponding buckle onto the other strap. We'll make the butt strap attachment points in the next step.

Step 8: Butt Strap Attatchment Points

Cut two eleven inch strips of thin tube and rivet or snap as shown.

Step 9: Assemble the Whole Thing!!!!!!!

Heres a picture of how it all comes together. Wear your new harness for great play, and be sure to have safe sex. The tails can be trimmed once you've fitted it, or you can leave them long so that they will fit a range of body types.
