Things You'll Need:
- Elastic jewelry thread
- Scissors
- Beads
- Watch face
-
Step 1
Measure a length of elastic jewelry thread to your wrist by simply wrapping a strand around your wrist. Note the point where the thread meets and add approximately two inches before cutting the thread.
-
Step 2
Cut 1, 2 or 3 strands of elastic thread, depending upon whether you want your watchband to be 1, 2 or 3 strands of beads.
-
Step 3
Bead the strands with the beads of your choice in any pattern or design you wish. Leave 1 inch of the thread free on each end to use to tie the strands to the watch face.
-
Step 4
Thread the ends of the strands through the ends of the watch face. Some watch faces will have two separate metal sections on the corners of the watch face allowing for a band, whereas others will feature one large bar spanning the length of the watch face. Still others offer one solitary metal section in the middle of the watch face intended for a single stranded band.
-
Step 5
Loop the ends through the openings on the watch face, and then pull them back down towards the beads and tie them between the first 2 or 3 beads on the band. Do this for both ends of the thread for each strand, and cover the knots with the beads.
