Measure Your Wrist

With a cloth or plastic tape measure, measure your wrist. Add 1 inch extra to your wrist measurement for a snug fit; 1 1/4 inches for a looser fit. Write down your measurements below:
Wrist measurement________ in.
Extra measure________ in.
Total watch measure ___________in.
On a piece of paper, draw a line the length of the total watch measure (including the extra measure). (If you are making a watch for a friend, use 7 1/2" as a total length.)
Carefully place your watch head, two watch attachments and watch closure at one end of the drawn line. Carefully trace the outline of each component.
Measure the space left on the line. Space left _______ inches. Divide this measure by 2. One half of space left= ________ inches for bead space.
The bead space is the length of the space for each strand of beads on each of the two sides of your watch.
Directions

Note: The directions that follow can be used with any of the three watch designs. We have used the Blue-Beaded Heart Watch as an example.


Plan Your Design
You will make three strands of beads for each side of the watch. Each strand will be the length of the bead space you measured. Plan the bead arrangement by laying beads out on the measure. Do this for all three strands. Depending on the watch attachment, the middle strand may be shorter than the other two strands. Adjust this as you string the strand. You have designed one side of the watch. repeat for the second side.
Beading the Watch

1. Cut tigertail in half. Using one half, put two crimp beads on end of tigertail. Do not crimp beads yet. Bring tigertail down on outside of top crimp bead and back through first crimp bead. Leave end of tigertail hanging out. By pulling tigertail, put crimp beads together as snugly as possible. Close both crimp beads firmly with needle-nose pliers. Cut off extra tigertail with wire cutters.
