My jewelry days ...

Over the past few years,
I made quite alot of jewelry.

I sold quite alot of jewelry too-

at craft fairs, at work, mostly to friends through friends-

I haven't made any in the past year.

Ever since I started blogging-

odd isn't it?

a blog about creativity and I stopped creating jewelry!
weird

But, I was in Michael's craft store the other day

and the beads are gorgeous-

My heart began to pitter patter and

I couldn't pull myself away without first picking some silver beads up-

I hesitated because I do have bins and bins of beads already-

but I saw these silver beads and knew immediately

that I needed to make a watchband with them-

All you need are 2 strands of beads, jelly wire, and 4 hooks-

Feed the jelly wire through beads, ending with the lobster claw clasp-

pull the thread through the clasp about 3 inches-

knot it and thread it back through the beads for a 2nd time!

Both bead strands should have lobster claw clasps on each end-

And that's exactly what I did!!

Clip the strands onto the watch face- VOILA!

So simple, but I think it's a beauty-

something I will wear anytime, anywhere-

I have other bands to clip to this watch
 but I think this has a modern flair
with the chunky silver-
so simple to make-

 I'm never gonna make it as a hand model-lol!

So, simple, cheap, fun-what else can you ask for??

Well, take care, gotta fly- Claire
