Ok. I have to admit it. I have seen these fantastically gaudy watch bracelets for quite sometime now. And as much I LOVE the beads I have refused to take the plunge and wear one. I always seem to justify that I would rather just have a bracelet – who the heck still wears a watch?
That is until my dear friend Christy from Scarlet Lime hooked me up with some beaded love. NOW I am not only totally addicted to wearing these fabu beads… but I totally addicted to making them. Christy is a rockstar, so the kits she puts together are so easy that my tween is able to put together the watch bands in no time. But grab a few kits and try mixing and matching some of the beads. Right now I am working on a Halloween band. Of course there are matching necklaces too.
Here is another watch band that I just made into a bracelet and a fun dangly pendant!
Because I love these guys so much… I just have to share. Leave a comment and one winner will get a complete watch kit. The only requirement is- if you are the winner… you have to send me a picture when you are done putting it together!
Be sure to visit my guest gallery at Scarlet Lime too.

TIP: For this layout I created, I wanted to save some of the yellow patterned paper that the layout is built on. So I cut a 8×8 sqare from the very center of the page. Then, I mounted the 10×10 square of Kraft cardstock and added machine stitching. That way, I can still use the pattern that would have otherwise just been covered up!
Let’s start with the winner of last week’s Echo Park Paper Sweet Summertime complete set!
