January 8, 2010 by Alison
For our post swap today we are excited to show you ‘Sisters Stuff.’
They have fun ideas and we wanted to show them off!
You know those cute beaded watches everyone is wearing!?! Here is the tutorial on how to make one! It will save you lots of money making one on your own! Thanks Sisters Stuff for this awesome tutorial.
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.
Stretchy cording
Large lobster claw clasps
Spacers
Scissors
Super Glue
Small Paint brush (optional)
Our favorite spacers.
Step #1
Step #2Start 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
Then add clasps and small beads like on the opposite side all to one side of
the cording as shown.
Step #4
Right over left, left over right. Check to make use it is secure.
Step #5
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.
I love big chunky watches, these look lovely!
