DIY watch band

apair-andaspare.blogspot.com

I totally got inspired by A Pair and a Spare's silk scarf watch band DIY.  I've been really getting into making my own stuff.  It's fun to do, and makes sure that no one will have the same stuff as you.

First, get a watch you don't care about:

I got this one for $3.99 at a thrift store.

 Then, cut the straps off, leaving the bars that were holding them on in place.  I specifically picked this watch because the jelly straps were super easy to cut through.


I LOVE southwestern prints, like no joke, my dream is to live in Arizona

Finally, grab some ribbon or a scarf you like and thread it through those bars.  Wrap it around your wrist and VOILA! A fun and unique watch that's all your own.  Best of all, you can change the strap whenever you want to fit your mood or outfit.
