Introduction

In this DIY, we will explain how to creat a belt made from an old bike tire.

Matériaux

- Bike tire (one per belt) - belt buckle or wire - bike inner tube - screw rivet (or pop rivet)

Outils

- Scissors - Cutter - Hole punch - Metal pliers - Riveter (if using pop rivets)

Étape 1 - Creat the belt strap

Cut the part of the tire which will constitute the belt,to the desired length, taking a model from an old belt or taking its waist measurement and adding approximately 15 cm.



Étape 2 - Creat the belt buckle

Re-use a buckle from an old belt.

or

Create the buckle and pin of the belt from a metal rod using metal pliers.

If the buckle is not welded, the rod junction point must not be centered, otherwise the barb will come out.

Étape 3 - Install and secure the belt buckle on the strap.

At 10 cm from the edge, fold one end of the strap and drill a hole in the middle. This hole will allow the tongue to pass through. Install the buckle and pass the rod through the hole. Fold the tire around the buckle To hold the buckle in place, create a hole about one centimeter from the buckle in the middle, then rivet, adding a washer to hold the rivet (or use a pop rivet). If the tire is thick, drill two holes on either side of the strap.


Étape 4 - Install and secure the belt loop

  1. Installer le passant en chambre à air, en le faisant glisser le long de la sangle.
  2. Pour éventuellementfixer le passant, mettre un dernier rivet (avec rondelle) après la boucle pour bien maintenir cette dernière.




Étape 5 - Créer les crans de la ceinture

Prendre les mesures pour déterminer l'emplacement des crans de la ceinture.

Faire des trous à la pince perforatrice pour former les crans de la ceinture.

La ceinture est prête !!
