This is one of my new favorite projects. A good friend of mine pointed out a similar watch last year, and I decide to give making it a try! I made this for her for Christmas!
It is much easier than it looks!
Supplies:
1. Lace
2. Watch Face
3. Thread/needle or sewing machine
4. ribbon clamps
5. clasp
6. extra chain
Now with this lace, I wanted the watch band to be twice as wide as the lace. I started by using some lace, measuring out about how thick my wrist was, and cutting two strips.
Then I sewed them together in the middle.
I took another piece of lace, and strung on my watch face.
Then I sewed the watch face to the middle of the ribbon. I added extra sewing to keep the watch face in place.
Then I added two ribbon clamps on the ends
And finally added a clasp on one end, and a chain on the other
The end! Now wear it proudly and enjoy your new watch!

Love how feminine this looks. I also like using ribbon crimps - they make life so much easier. I posted the top finished photo of your lace watch and a link back to you on my Tumblr blog truebluemeandyou. I know my readers will like this DIY as much as I do.
This is so pretty. I could see making this for my sister. Thanks for sharing!
