Who knew you can make key holders out of discarded seat belt buckles? My brother is obsessed with cars. He runs a business where he buys unused or badly damaged vehicles and then he tries to salvage whatever he can. He gets giddy with excitement every time his tow truck rolls in. Understandably, he couldnāt wait to see what treasure heāll find.

Some of the things he usually āsavesā are the seatbelt buckles. There are hundreds of them in his stockroom. When I asked him what he was going to do with them, he just gave me a knowing smile. A few days later, he handed out several key holders to family and friends. He made using the seatbelt buckles. I never knew you can make key holders out of those.
