My mom, sisters and I absolutely love our Bumble watches. We got together
and made tons of bands to add to our collections. Here is how to make them
and some of our designs. We found a little watch face and even made a couple
of bands for my daughter. There are many different brands of these same kind
of watches. Here is a website to our favorite brand if you to check out more.

What you need:Lots of beads
Stretchy cording
Large lobster claw clasps
Spacers
Scissors
Super Glue
Small Paint brush (optional)
The cording we used.
Our favorite spacers.
Step #1
String on a few small beads and two clasps as shown and attach to watch face.
Step #2
Start stringing more beads on to your liking adding spacers along the way.
You will use two spacers when making each band. Put one on about 1/3 of the
way and the other about 2/3 of the way.

Step #3

Keep adding beads until you like the look and have the correct length.
Then add clasps and small beads like on the opposite side all to one side of
the cording as shown.

Step #4

Tie coring together in a square knot.
Right over left, left over right. Check to make use it is secure.

Step #5

Use a small paint brush to apply super glue to help keep it all together.

All Finished!

Some of our bands.

All we made. It was so fun!

    Nice tutorial! FOr me personally, I don’t like the big chunky watches, do you know if I could use a smaller watch face and just do one strand of beads for the band? That would be much more to my taste.
