Goggles are the must-have accessory for steampunk cosplay. Like a little black dress, only awesomer. Here’s how you can make your own from a pair of cheap welding goggles.
The first step is to make that plastic look like metal. This step takes about two hours, including drying time.
Supplies:
- One pair of cheap plastic welding goggles
- One set of Rub ‘n Buff
- Disposable gloves
- Paper towels
- Q-Tips
- Two-step epoxy or Superglue
Things pictured that you’ll need after everything dries:
- Scrap leather
- Steampunk Bag of Gears
- Epoxy or Super Glue
Step 2 – Disassemble the pieces –>
