15-Minute Facelift

But this one was done without a scalpel or collagen injections.

My daughter loves it.

Maybe I'll be allowed to borrow it once in a while.

If you're interested in a tutorial on how I made this watch strap, let me know with a comment.  If there's enough interest, I'll put one together.

So so cute - pretty please, can you post the tutuorial? I have an ugly watch band that needs to be turned into a swan!

Yes please, I have a few watches that need new straps.
June 4, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterGinny Worden
Yes, a tutorial will be lovely. It will, however, probably take you longer to write the tutorial than it did to make the band. And for that, we thank you in advance!

The watch looks gorgeous.
June 4, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterChristine M
absolutely adorable. What a great way to salvage something so precious. Here's wishing your daughter alot of good memories along with the ones the watch arrived with. Tutorials are always appreciated.

Question: when shopping for fabric, you run across something you absolutely love and can't live without, but don't have an immediate plan for: how much do you purchase?

Just curious :)

Yes for the tutorial. It is such a cute idea (and I have a watch in desperate need of a band). And, while I have the chance...I love your blog. Everything you do is SO PRETTY it makes me smile!

I would love the tutorial! I have a Maybelle Lucie Atwell watch face that will need a new band one day soon and have the perfect print ready to go. A fabric band would be a lot more comfy. Thank you!

A.dor.a.ble.

Are you kidding me?!?!?! Now I have to track down a Pooh watch and break the strap! That's just crazy cute. And talk about the *perfect* fabric! I'd call it serendipity...
How adorable!!! I would bet she is the envy of all of her friends now!! So sweet you were able to restore it for her. That fabric was meant to be!
Yes! A tutorial!!! I know it is a lot of work,but much appreciated!!! Your girls are so lucky!
