Steampunk mechanical monocle

Step 13Improvement suggestions

If you don't feel completely satisfied, you can add other details to your monocle. Here comes some suggestions (that I will follow, maybe):

- Add some details, like faux rivets all around the edge.
- Add some decorations on the side, around the plate.
- Add some buttons, knobs, tubes where you think they can go.
- Add a diagonal strap from the middle of the existing one to the hangers. This strap shoud go under the other ear, or even lower, near the chin.
- Change the plastic lens with a glass one, recovered from an old pair of glasses (or a cheap new one, if you want).
- Add some dirt and/or scratches to the leather to give it a more used look.

Maybe I will create some other objects that will go together with this, like a top hat, a wristwatch, a mechanical glove... depending on materials I'll find.
