Are you looking for the perfect present for that hard-to-shop-for fashionista? If so, we’ve got the perfect gift idea that she’s sure to love. Not only is this gift chic, it’s also handmade! You can customize it to fit the giftee’s style. Use all black cord for a punk look, or neon cord for a super-trendy summer style!
Watch You’ll Need:
Project DIY Modern Heirlooms Timeless Wrap Watch
1. Take your cord and cut five 1′ pieces. The pieces should be long enough to wrap around your wrist.
2. Add cord connectors to each end, and connect them to the watch with jump rings.
3. Take the rest of the cord and cut five piece 8 inches or longer.
4. Add connectors and connect with jumps rings to the watch.
5. Place the watch face on your wrist. Wrap the long side around your wrist until it hits the middle of your wrist. Cut if too long.
6. Wrap the short side until it meets the ends of the cords you just cut.
7. Add cord connectors to each end with jump rings. On one side add the five cord ends to a jump ring and then connect it to the lobster clap.
8. Connect the other side with a larger jump ring.
