How to Make an Interchangeable Watch Band

Here is a fun watch band that anyone can make! Beware: Making these watches is VERY addicting! You'll be making one for every color of shirt you wear!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lobster claws
• 0.8 Stretch cords
• beads
• Super Glue
• White felt

1. 
    

   Mark on your white felt how big your wrist is. Remember that your watch face will also determine how big of a band you will need to make!

2. 
    

   Lay out your pattern. Make sure to include your lobster claws on the sides and your spacers in the middle!

3. 
    

   Grab your Stretch cord and start threading your beads. I start with the bottom lobster claw on the left side(looking at your beads), and continue going in a clockwise direction. Don't forget to add your spacers (which are beads that are in the middle of the two strands)!

4. 
    

   Once you have your watch band the length you desire, pull tightly, and tie in a knot. Place some glue on the knot for more durability. Place on a watch face and enjoy!
