HOW TO - Make a seatbelt purse

Kevin writes - "My wife came to me one day and said something to the effect of: "I want a purse made outta seatbelts. Make me one." Now, I had never heard of something like this much less seen one. Keeping this in mind I said I would get right on it. That first product was a few years ago and since I occasionally get requests for them from her friends I took the latest request as an opportunity to document the progress." Link.
