My mom was going to India and she needed a watch to make sure she took her medicine on time (by EST time). She has never owned a watch before. So the night before, I took a look at my old watches and found this one. It had one of those spring bracelets. But the spring was broken on one end. So i decided to take the watch and add new straps to it. Here’s the watch head.
Isn’t it pretty!?
And here’s what I did to it. I added straps made from black ribbon that I was using for my slip and attached the hooky thing to it.
Then I sewed the other side slim enough to make it through the hooky thing. I then burned holes into the ribbon by heating up a broken sewing machine needle (there’s a purpose for everything)!
I attached both to the watch head using fishing wire.
I need to find more secure measures of attaching the straps though. Because the “hole” side of the strap ripped off somehow during the trip.
What do you think of it?
