I was in the mood to make pearl straps for watches requested by my sisters and niece, so now you can see the outcome of 6 watches. Compare to sewing and patchwork, making beaded jewelries and accessories is easier and not as time consuming as sewing. Of course, provided you have the necessary tools, beads, stones and findings. I completed beading for 5 pieces of watches yesterday and 1 more today.
Except for the watch faces , the straps look similar. Actually I am using a combination of 6 different colors. It doesn’t show clearly as I am using my mobile phone camera. I have always loved pearls with it’s simple and classic beauty. And you can find Swarovski pearls in many different colors in any fine beading store.The last bracelet watch is a combination of mauve pink and white Swarovski pearls joined together with wires instead of using stringing method.

My sisters do not have the patience for sewing and crafts, so I always end up doing these things for them. But most of them excel in cooking and baking which has never been my forte. Where my family is concern, we eat to live and they are just too happy if Mom puts food on their table. Looking at the bright side of things, we will never be threatened by obesity or worry too much about our weight!

Very nice and interesting idea. You know, here in Italy they make now watch bracelets with many pendants of different lengths. Even in gold. I don’t remember the brand now, but I think you can find something like this there too. They make even the watch as pendant. Very nice as summer adornment.
Not for that price, as for me, because if I would buy something like this I would destroy it the same day. But very nice.

You mean accidentally destroy fragile accessories. You wouldn’t destroy them intentionally, right? Now I imagine you to be big, strong and more masculine.

I have a usage to beat my hand (and knees too) near every furniture. And my animals like to eat everything they find on my hand too. Don’t know why. When I think about me sometimes, I think that I’m not only masculine, but similar on a sort of dinosaurus maybe.

How long exactly did you take to make those watches? It seems ages for me even to make one. Anyway, every people has their own skills, and we shouldn’t mess with God’s willing. lol
