I had to take another trip to the craft store to buy some more paint. I wanted a roughed up look for the components, seeing as they're probably "scrounged together" by Oswin after she crashed. Below are the finished components. Not too bad for my first attempt at making things look old and rusted. Something I'd do differently next time: start with a flat gray as the base color and highlight with the metallic.
Here is the finished belt, minus the whisk which would go in the middle.
Attaching the buckle was a bit tricky. I still needed it to be functional for threading the other end of the belt through. All of the big components are attached with industrial strength velcro. I figure if something is going to get knocked off at some point, I should be able to attach it. The two smaller things are held in place by an elastic band. I wove the band underneath the metal panels which were screwed down tight. It was a bit of a pain to cut holes into the leather for the screws, but it worked out well. Everything is held in place nicely. Hopefully nothing will come apart on this and my whisk, dress, and shoes will arrive soon.
