The picture of the three watches is the section of the book on watch making.
This picture of the watch was the one I liked the best and wanted to use as a starting point. I didn't buy the exact beads because I had some beads I knew I wanted to use. In the picture she uses copper beads.
You need a bead board, Beadalon Stringing Wire, Seed Beads, and a watch face, you can buy all of this at JoAnn Fabrics, as a matter of fact, very soon they are going to have all of their jewelry supplies at 40 percent off for a few weeks.
It comes with a sticker on the back, don't forget to take it off.
My watch face is blue which I really liked. Cut approx. 8 inch wire, I always use more and string through the end of the watch to form an upside down U as seen in the picture above.
String on seed beads about four on each side. Stay tuned to my next post to see the rest.

That's such a cool idea. Might have to make one of those one day.
When I was visiting Australia last year, my best friend broke her watch by accident and she made this lovely bead bracelet instead of buying a new watchband and attached that to the face - I thought it looked really great, and no one else in the world has the exact same watch!
Anyway, I think this is cool.
Thanks April!!! There are many different ways to do this, I'm still working on getting mine just right, how was your travels in April?
