Description 

Some guys commented on my steampunk goggles version that they wanted a how to, so here it is...


Instructions 
  1. 1
    Step 1

    Take the eyepiece out of the goggles and keep these plus the strap.


  2. 2
    Step 2

    Paint the eyepieces (front and back) with the gold enamel paint. Mine needed a few coats.


  3. 3
    Step 3

    Cut out the cardboard using the template here:

    http://brassgoggles.co.uk/blog/steampunk-resources/how-to-quick-costume-goggles

    (you will need to size them for the goggles you end up using)


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Cover the cardboard in leather, using as much as you need. I stuck it on with very strong glue.


  5. 5
    Step 5

    Stick the eyepieces to the leather covered cardboard, find a way to attach the strap from the original welding goggles (I used two strips of leather) and enjoy!
