Steampunk Cuff for Mitform Castings

 

It is my turn as a Creative team member for Mitform Castings to inspire with a project.  I am off to the UK for a 4 day Steampunk event called the Asylum and I needed some accessory pieces to finish off an outfit. My inspiration was my vintage style compass and sun dial, purchased at the Vintage Market which I "MacGyvered"  from a table top version into a watch.  

I took a cuff I had purchased and traced the pattern off it, then added holes with Eyelets and ribbon so I could wear it. 
I started by asking my hubby to drill holes in the steam gauge so that I could rivet it on.
Then glued and riveted everything else on as well
I punched holes in the leather and used my rivet setter to anchor pieces in place.
The clock hands through the 1/4 gear were too tall for my rivets, so I used a nut and bolt to hold them on.
