It's been a while since I have gotten a moment like this. In the fast blur that is life sometimes, there is something very rare and precious about the odd moments that come by that one has to do absolutely nothing. It is truly a time of peace watching the shortest day of the year pass by, while listening to the far away sounds of neighborhood kids playing cricket and sipping hot chocolate.
More on that later - for now let's just ring in the New Year!! What do you do with a beloved watch with worn down straps that just won't get replaced? Well....
What you'll need
More on that later - for now let's just ring in the New Year!! What do you do with a beloved watch with worn down straps that just won't get replaced? Well....
What you'll need
- Your favorite watch dial
- The bracelet you never wore
- Elastic beading cord
- A pair of scissors
- Super Glue/E6000
Step 1: Break down the bracelet to its findings. You may also choose to add in findings of your choice.
Step 2: Take 2 pieces of the stretchy cord about 30 cms in length. Push the cord through the holding wire off one end of the dial and tie into a triple knot. Add in a drop of instant glue to secure.
Step 3: Start putting in the bracelet findings in the reverse order and direction.
Step 4: Continue beading in reverse while checking for the size that fits your wrists the best.
Step 5: Tie to secure at the second holding wire or the first wire by going behind the dial. Add in a drop of instant glue at each knot.
Step 6: Flip over the dial and findings and voila! You have yourself a new extender bracelet watch!! Great to bling it up at NYE parties!
Cheers!
