Materials:
All of the materials I used today were purchased at Michaels using the 40% off coupons from the Sunday paper. (If you are into coupons...purchase more than 1 Sunday paper and you'll get multiple coupons.)
- .5mm elastic for jewelry making
- Watch face
- Decorative Beads of your choice and Spacer beads
- Crimp beads
- Crimp tool
- Scissors
- I cut 2 long strips of elastic *double the wrist plus some extra* and threaded them onto the watch face
- Thread the beads as desired
- Put a long spacer bead on all the threads to keep it together. I only put one on this watch since it's for a tiny wrist.
- Tape off one end or you'll lose your beading
- Make sure to pull the elastic a few times to pre-stretch it a bit or it'll stretch later.
- Thread the elastic through the other side of the face and "Crimp" it as oulined in the document attached below in Jewelry 101.
- Trim the extra elastic leaving enough to thread through the first few beads to hide it.
- You have a beautiful watch!!!
