RetroFedMade a book strap thingy out of a belt.

I didn’t want to have to carry a backpack in order to carry my plastic book case around and I was tires of wedging it between my butt and trousers. Yes, natural selection gave me hands, but those I want to have free. So, I bought a belt at a thrift store, some rivets and that belt lock thingy at a… Store that sells sewing stuff? And voilà. I dunno. Obviously I went with practicality over looks. 😅

You made the WinRAR icon.
This is my tribute to Eugene Roshal.
You should do fantasy cosplays
He he, thanks! I have a friend who’s actually good at crafting. A real tinker. She’s so good in fact, that people ask her to make them costumes and whatnot. In contrast, I had no idea what I was doing. I just guessed and tried. 🤣
Nice work.
The next step is to buy a leather side and make yourself a sling bag.
Noice. That’s just what I need to defend myself against the growing threat of organized crime in my neighborhood. ⚔️
When someone pulls a gun on you, you pull out a book. They’ll run away since they are afraid of knowledge.
I was reading your comment slowly and carefully, imaging some Hans Zimmer esque music building up in the background, in anticipation for what surely would culminate in you saying, “[…] you pull out a book, opening it with a swift and elegant hand gesture, but your hand never actually touches the book. The sky turns dark, a deep rumble is heard as the ground starts shaking, a purple shimmer engulfs you and your eyes emanate a light that outshines even that of the Sun. You begin to mutter. The gangsters cannot makes heads or tails of your words. How could they? Your words of incantation are not of this world. Blessed are those who do not know their dark and depraved meaning! Suddenly, your hand, which you until now had been letting hover above the open pages of your book, seems to catch fire, but the flames are of a dark red color. You twist your hand ever so slightly, so that its palm faces the gangsters. Now, wielding the powers of the underworld, the Flame of Mormûldr, you cast a firestorm onto the gangsters. Unbeknownst to them, those that die by the Flame of Mormûldr do not easily pass to the afterlife, but are instead scorched for all eternity in the underworld.”
But, to be fair, your version was good, too.
That’s a really clever use of a belt! Very thrifty
Thanks! 🥰 I was inspired by those leather book straps children used to carry their books to school with a generation or two ago. I remember them from some Hungarian children’s stories and whatnot.
