Author's Notes
This Watch strap uses two threads to create an entwining design that looks like a masterpiece:
I used a childhood Mickey Mouse watch I had that the strap no longer fit me.
Instructions
Cut 2 pieces of elastic thread to desired length of the total watch and add around 15cms for tying off.
Holding the 2 pieces together as one tie them around One side of the watch face. You should have an existing bar where the old watch strap was as shown in the picture below. Tie the cord around that area so it is secure.
Separate the threads and add 9 beads to each strand then place the threads together and add a large bead.
Separate the threads and add 9 beads to each strand and then place the threads together and add another large bead.
Keep doing this one more time until your beads are used up and then finish off by tying the end threads to the watch.
If your 45 beads do not reach the desired length add some extra beads, we used beads ranging from 4-7mms in size.
The key to a great watch strap is it's color scheme, pick beads that are on the same color palette for a blended look.
