Great job. Very inventive!

Personally, I go to a 2nd hand store and buy a couple of leather belts and make replacement handles out of them. Typically I get 3-4 handles per belt for a total cost of under $5.00 USD, If I hit the GoodWill surplus stores, it runs me about $1.08 USD for 2 belts. (They sell everything by the pound at 2.16/lb. and over 50 lbs. 1.08/ lb. This includes tape recorders, stereos, power cables, connection cables, clothing, the whole Magilla).
