Instructions

This is a great way to use up scraps. Don't let the math scare you away!
Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Funky, Whimsical, Casual

Fabric scraps, #16 size snaps, hardware (D-ring or rectangle)

What was your inspiration?

I hate plain watch bands but I'm picky about my watches.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

These are fairly easy to make. Don't let the math scare you off! And the snaps seems counter-intuitive, so take your time.

This is a dream come true for me. I have a big bone structure (large wrists) & one watch with a large face, with another in the works of purchasing. It's extremely hard to find bands wide enough for the large faced watches & long enough for all of my watches to fit my Amazonian wrists. I'm squealing with deslight inside! Thank you so very much!

What a great idea! You are very clever. I love your customized watch bands. It certainly gives new life to an old favored timepiece.

Thank you thank you thank you!!! My watch band (metal) broke (after nearly 25 years!) and besides, I have a severe nickel allergy - the thought of making a fabric watch band never occurred to me!! Now, though, I can make one and start wearing my watch again!! :) :)

YAY! I'm on my semester break and have some more ideas floating around. I want to take the same idea and make a magnetic wrist ban for pins!
